CHEMAG Series GH Robust Pleated & Bag Thermoplastic Filter Systems
CHEMAG Series GH Robust Pleated & Bag Filter Systems deliver exceptional performance and corrosion resistance through solid, fusion-welded polypropylene construction. These thermally bonded pleated and bag filter housings meet absolute Beta 5000 ratings (0.2–120 microns at 99.98% efficiency) for the most demanding chemical, plating, POP, PCB, electronics, MIL-spec, RO, and other aggressive applications. The highly porous pleated elements maintain low pressure drop across service life, ensuring critical bath turnover rates. Retrofit options include felt bags or granular carbon bags where needed. All systems feature heavy-duty polypropylene seal-less mag-drive pumps for leak-free operation.

MODEL NUMBERS
Manufacturer: CHEMAG
Product Type: Pleated & Bag Thermoplastic Filter System
Applications: High-efficiency filtration of aggressive process streams in chemical processing, metal finishing, surface technology, pharmaceuticals, wastewater treatment, electronics, and specialty industries requiring absolute-rated media.
Performance Range:
Absolute Beta 5000 ratings from 0.2 to 120 microns @ 99.98% efficiency
Capacities up to 1,000+ GPM (60,000+ GPH) depending on pump and vessel size
Chamber sizes: 6” x 11”, 6” x 15”, 6” x 30”, 6” x 40”, 6” x 60” (simplex, duplex, multiplex configurations)
Powder carbon or retrofit felt bag options for additional media needs
Design Features:
Solid, glass-free polypropylene construction resists internal/external corrosion; contains no glass fillers, pigments, metallic stabilizers, PVC glue, or bead welding
Fusion-welded, one-piece integral housing ensures uniform thickness and no weak spots for withstanding extreme conditions
Heavy-duty polypropylene seal-less mag-drive pump integration for leak-free, maintenance-friendly operation
Thermally bonded pleated elements deliver high porosity and low pressure drop across life of element
Compact designs (e.g., 1”–60” H with ≥100 sq ft media in 1 ft² housing) save floor space
Simplified change-outs in under 5 minutes for reduced downtime
Retrofit capability: accept felt bags or granular carbon bags for specific process demands
