Heavy Duty Filter Bags-SFB Max Series

The CMI SFB MAX Series is an extended-life, high-capacity filter bag designed for demanding industrial processes.
It combines a standard polypropylene felt bag with an integrated PP melt-blown cartridge insert, forming a hybrid filtration structure that significantly increases dirt-holding capacity and filtration efficiency.

Compared with traditional PP felt bags, the SFB MAX Series provides 3–4× longer service life, reduced change-out frequency, and more stable pressure control—ideal for continuous-flow and polishing applications.

SFB MAX Series – Extended-Life Filter Bag with PP Melt-Blown Insert

High dirt-holding capacity · Extended service life · Stable filtration performance


Product Overview

The CMI SFB MAX Series is an extended-life, high-capacity filter bag designed for demanding industrial processes.

It combines a standard polypropylene felt bag with an integrated PP melt-blown cartridge insert, forming a hybrid filtration structure that significantly increases dirt-holding capacity and filtration efficiency.

Compared with traditional PP felt bags, the SFB MAX Series provides 3–4× longer service life, reduced change-out frequency, and more stable pressure control—ideal for continuous-flow and polishing applications.


Key Features

  • Hybrid structure: PP felt bag + PP melt-blown insert
  • High dirt-holding capacity and extended operational life
  • Excellent removal of fine particles & trace contaminants
  • Welded seam construction to eliminate bypass
  • Rigid internal support ensures consistent flow
  • Suitable for a wide range of particle sizes
  • Compatible with standard #1 and #2 filter housings
  • Cost-effective upgrade from conventional PP felt bags

Typical Applications

  • General industrial liquid filtration
  • Paint & coating (including e-coat)
  • Metal finishing, phosphate & pre-treatment lines
  • Water treatment & polishing filtration
  • Chemical and solvent processing
  • Food & beverage: oils, syrups
  • Industrial oil & lubricant filtration
