Intelligent, mechanically actuated indicating filters are designed to let you know when your filter bag needs attention. These filters use a differential pressure indicator to alert you when the filter bag has reached full capacity, resulting in less system downtime and saving you time, money, and effort in the long run.

How Do Indicating Bag Filters Work?
The Indicating Filter is a mechanical device, without tubes or orifices to clog the indicator. Unfiltered liquid enters the housing above the bag, supported in a spring-loaded basket, and flows through. Solids are contained inside the bag, and as it becomes loaded, greater pressure is required to force liquid through the bag.
Due to this increase in differential pressure, the spring-loaded basket is forced downward, actuating the cam that drives the indicator pointer, displaying the changes on a simple red/green scale. Red represents unacceptable pressure differential, indicating that element change-out is required. These units are pre-calibrated to indicate element change-out at 15 psi pressure differential.

Know When it’s Time to Change Filter Bags with a Differential Pressure Indicator
As the pressure drop across the filter increases, additional dirt-holding capacity decreases. At a 5 psi drop in pressure, over 90 percent of the filter's dirt holding capacity has been reached. When the pressure drop has increased to 10 psid, it has reached 95 percent of its total dirt-holding capacity. For each additional 5 psi pressure drop, the amount of extra dirt retained decreases dramatically. Pressure drops greater than 15 psi retain no appreciable amount of additional dirt. Our line of indicating filters automatically and intelligently sense these pressure differences, and will indicate when the optimum time to change the filter element in your system, saving you time, money and effort.
