Augment series – Pleated extended surface Filter Bags
Augment Series: High-Capacity Pleated Extended Surface Filter Bags
In high-volume industrial processing, standard liquid filter bags often reach their terminal pressure drop too quickly, leading to constant downtime and high labor costs. The K Filter Augment series Pleated extended surface Filter Bags is our signature high-performance solution, engineered to pack more filtration power into a conventional housing than any other industry option.
The Science of “Extreme Surface” Filtration
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Science of “Extreme Surface” Filtration
The Augment Series is not a typical liquid bag. By incorporating numerous folds of high-quality media into a pleated configuration, we have redefined the limits of dirt-holding capacity:
Unparalleled Surface Area: Our pleated design provides up to 5 to 10 times the filtration area of a standard needle felt bag.
Lower Initial Pressure Drop: More surface area means less resistance to flow, allowing your pumps to work more efficiently and saving energy.
Labyrinthine Flow Passages: Our exclusive internal core creates a rigid structure with complex flow paths, ensuring every millimeter of the media is utilized for particle entrapment.
Why Upgrade to the Augment Series?
🔹 Maximum Uptime & Extended Filter Life
The primary benefit of the Augment Series is longevity. Because there is so much more media available to trap contaminants, these bags last significantly longer—often 4 to 6 times longer—than standard filter bags in “high-fouling” applications.
🔹 Seamless Retrofitting
There is no need to replace your expensive filter housings. The Augment Series is designed to fit perfectly into standard #1 and #2 industry filter vessels used across the USA, Europe, and the Middle East. It provides a high-efficiency upgrade with zero modification required.
🔹 Internal Core Rigidity
Unlike standard bags that can collapse or “balloon” under high differential pressure, our special internal core maintains the bag’s shape. This ensures consistent filtration performance even as the dirt load increases

FAQ: Augment Series Pleated Filter Bags
1. How does a pleated bag fit into a standard housing?
The Augment Series is engineered with a specialized “compact pleat” geometry. While the media surface area is vastly larger, the external dimensions remain identical to a standard #1 or #2 bag, allowing for an instant performance upgrade.
2. Will the Augment Series save me money?
Yes. While the initial cost of a pleated bag is higher than a standard felt bag, the Total Cost of Filtration (TCO) is significantly lower. You save on:
- Labor: Fewer filter changes mean more time for your team to focus on production.
- Disposal: Fewer bags in the waste stream.
- Product Loss: Less liquid is lost during the change-out process.
3. What micron ratings are available for the Augment Series?
We offer a full range of absolute and nominal ratings, typically from 1 micron to 100 microns, ensuring that we can handle everything from fine polishing to primary silt removal
4. Is the internal core safe for chemicals?
Absolutely. The core is constructed from high-strength, chemically resistant polymers (typically Polypropylene) that are compatible with a wide range of industrial acids, bases, and solvents.
