These filter bags are made of a micron-rated felt, a non-woven fabric. Small polymer fibers of varying diameters and lengths are forced into a matrix. One side is singed, a process that further locks the filaments together on the "downstream" surface. This fabric does not produce an absolute filtration but rather a range based on generally accepted industry tests. Many factors influence the actual filtration including the shape, size, consistency and loading of the contaminates. Also, the feed pressure and rate of flow affects the filtration results.
These felts have a far higher dirt capacity and flow rate than a flat woven type bag and is much more resistant to blinding (clogging). The material is meant to be disposable and does not clean as well as a woven material.
Polyester filter bags can be used for filtering any liquid. There is a handle strap which can be used for hanging them from a pipe or something similar for gravity filtration. They can also be pressurized by using a filter adapter head and a pump for faster and unattended filtering. Using a pump/adapter combo is highly recommended so you can get the longest life out of your bags and not have to wait around all day to filter when they are clogging.
What bags should you be using? Use coarse bags for initial filtering. Do not jump right to the 1 micron. It's a waste of money. Start with at least 100 micron and work your way down as many steps as possible. bags can be stuffed inside of each other for multiple micron size passes in one filtering session. About 3-4 bags can be fit onto an adapter head to use with a pump. if done right, you will need more coarse bags than fine bags. 1 micron bags should rarely have to be changed while 50 and 100 micron bags will need to be changed many times collecting the bulk of the debris. Let the coarse bags do all the work for your final filtering bags.
When filtering WVO make sure the oil is at least 100 degrees so all fats are melted.
7" diameter bags are the best for gravity filtering and high volume while 4" bags are best for smaller applications and tight spaces.
