Filter Cage constructions typically consist of 10, 12 or 20 vertical wires. The horizontal ring spacing on the cage can be 4″, 6″ or 8″. If plenum height restrictions are a problem, two piece cages are available in popular “twist-lock” or “fingers” styles. For areas where moisture or acid corrosion present we can provide a range of materials, often galvanized steel or stainless steel. Top load baghouse cages are available with a T-flange, ring top or several styles of rolled flange tops. Cage diameters range from 4″ to 6 1/8″. Wire thickness ranges are; 9 gauge, 10 gauge and 11 gauge. Cages for bottom load baghouses are constructed with a split collar or split ring top. Cage diameters range from 4″ to 6 1/8″. Wire thickness ranges are 9 gauge, 10 gauge and 11 gauge.
For more efficient cleaning, Venturi are available for all diameter cages. Venturi come in 3″ to 6″ lengths. Venturi are made in a variety of materials including; aluminum, carbon steel, galvanized and stainless steel.
Our dust collector cages can be made to fit existing collectors from any baghouse manufactures such as , Mikropul, Wheelabrator, Masterjaya, Filtercorp, etc. We can also manufacture uncommon and specialized cage designs as required.
