The superior quality of our Basalt Filter Bags is a direct result of our specialized manufacturing techniques:
· High-Purity Raw Material Selection: We source only the highest grade of basalt rock to ensure consistent fiber quality.
· Advanced Fiber Spinning: The basalt rock is melted in furnaces at over 1,400°C and spun into continuous filaments, which provide greater tensile strength and dust release properties compared to staple fibers.
· Precision Needle Punching: Our state-of-the-art needle looms create a uniform and stable felt structure with optimal porosity for high filtration efficiency and low-pressure drop.
· Specialized Finishing Treatments:
o Heat Setting: The fabric is heat-set under tension to ensure dimensional stability during operation, preventing bag shrinkage or elongation.
o PTFE Coating (Optional): We offer a protective PTFE membrane coating for ultra-high filtration efficiency (>99.99%) and enhanced dust release for sticky, fine dust.
Basalt filter bag is a kind of high temperature filter material product, which is made of basalt fibre as the main raw material and filter material through special process. Basalt filter bag has the following features and advantages:
High temperature resistance: basalt filter bag can be used for a long time in a high temperature environment, according to different manufacturing processes and formulations, its temperature resistance level can reach 350 ℃, to fill the international high temperature synthetic fibre needle punched filter media blank.
High mechanical strength: basalt fibre itself is high strength, made of filter bags are generally more than 3000N fracture strength, able to withstand large mechanical loads.
Dimensional stability: Due to the low elongation of basalt fibre, the filter bag size is stable and not easy to deform due to temperature change or mechanical vibration.
Corrosion resistance: basalt filter bag has good corrosion resistance, can be used in acid, alkali atmosphere of the gas, suitable for a variety of industrial environments.
High filtration efficiency: the filter bag has smooth surface, good air permeability, low no-load pressure loss, high dust collection efficiency, and good filtration effect on dust particles below 0.5mm in diameter.

Basalt filter bags are fabricated from 100% natural volcanic basalt rock that is melted at temperatures exceeding 1400°C and drawn into continuous filaments. These mineral fibers are then punched into a heavy-duty needle felt matrix, providing a completely natural, high-density alternative to synthetic polymers.
Basalt filter bags deliver an incredible thermal range, maintaining a reliable continuous operating temperature of up to 260°C (500°F), with short-term dry-heat surge limits reaching 300°C (572°F). They stay completely stable and will not deform or melt under extreme high-heat exhaust conditions.
While both are mineral-based, basalt fibers offer superior structural performance over standard fiberglass:
Higher Tensile Strength: Basalt fibers possess raw tensile strength ratings significantly greater than E-glass fibers.
Flex Wear Resistance: Basalt is less brittle than glass filaments, vastly reducing fiber fracturing and punctures caused by continuous pulse-jet mechanical shaking.
Basalt filter elements offer excellent chemical stability across a operational window of pH 3 to pH 11. They demonstrate outstanding resistance to mineral acids, sulfur compounds, and alkaline flue gases, preventing early chemical breakdown in harsh coal-fired boilers or biomass plant emissions.
Yes. Because they are derived entirely from volcanic rock, basalt fibers are inherently non-combustible and have a melting point exceeding 1000°C. They offer absolute immunity to spark burn-through, eliminating the fire risks commonly associated with synthetic bags like Nomex or polyester when glowing embers enter the dust collector.
To ensure a completely airtight seal against the baghouse tubesheet and prevent particle bypass, precision production lines manufacture these bags to strict industrial tolerances of ±0.5mm on the steel snap-band diameter and ±10mm on the overall flat bag length.
PTFE Bath Coating: Impregnates the volcanic fiber matrix to create a protective barrier against moisture-driven acid hydrolysis.
ePTFE Membrane: Laminates a micro-porous membrane to the surface, boosting filtration efficiency to capture PM2.5 particles down to emission outputs under 5 mg/Nm³.
