Our welded filter bags have a durable plastic flange with handles for easy removal from a filter bag housing. The welded seams completely eliminate the possibility of unfiltered liquid bypass occurring due to needle holes. The result is a tighter seam with higher filtering efficiencies and improved finished product yields. The fused edges of the welded bag also provide a fiber-free finish which essentially eliminates any fiber migration from the bag to the working fluid. There is no possibility of silicone contamination since there are no threads.
