Filter Bags
Achieving optimum filtration performance from a dust collector depends on selecting the proper filter media for the job. Considerations include construction material, fabric finish, and size. Menardi’s broad scope of experience is your best assurance for choosing the right media for your application. Menardi manufactures high quality filter bags of virtually any size, style, configuration, and capacity for any make of baghouse. Because each application is different, our experienced experts can help you select bags with the properties best suited for your needs.

Cages / Retainers
Menardi has been building wire cages for almost all cage styles for over 20 years. We manufacture both rigid wire and interlocking designs. Our high quality fabrication and durable construction helps to reduce unnecessary bag wear. We routinely manufacture special alloy cages and provide coatings such as epoxy or Teflon® to extend cage life in certain demanding applications.

Deep Pleat Cartridges
New media technology, featuring our patented MikroBoss™ media, provides significantly improved filter performance.

Mikro-Pleat™ Pleated Filters
Mikro-Pleat™ pleated filters can vastly improve the performance of your pulse-jet baghouse with no baghouse alterations. Mikro-Pleat pleated filters provide a simple retrofit for upgrading existing dust collection systems and improving problem systems.

Mikrotex® PTFE Filter Bags
Our Mikrotex® membrane significantly improves the filtration performance of conventional filter media such as woven fabrics and nonwoven needle-punched felts. Mikrotex expended PTFE membrane can be laminated onto virtually all filtration medias.

Pop-Top® Technology
Cut your process and maintenance downtime in half! No more stuck bags! Our unique collar and venturi design eliminates the need for any special tools or clamps for installation. The Pop-Top offers you a much improved means of installation and removal filter bags and cages.

SDF® Technology
Menardi has always offered state-of-the-art technology in fiberglass fabrics and finishes. We developed our proprietary Surface Densification Process to incorporate our fabric finish line capabilities and a unique process to control the interstices created by the yarn intersections. This blending of Menardi's vertical manufacturing capabilities has resulted in a fabric designed to meet the most challenging filtration applications.

SeamFree™ Filter Bags
