HL Filter offers a wide range of Polyester liquid filter bags designed and constructed to fit an assortment of filter vessels, whether from HL Filter or from another supplier. We manufacture our own felt media for our felt filter bags under 9001:2008 quality systems, resulting in order to order, year to year, reliability and repeatability. Each filter bag is also individually sealed in protective plastic packaging to prevent contamination. Our filter bags are silicone free with sturdy construction and easy installation.
