5 Signs - When You Should Replace Your Air Filtration Support Cages

5 Signs - When You Should Replace Your Air Filtration Support Cages

In industrial air pollution control systems, every component needs to be working perfectly. But one component that is often overlooked is the filter cage. It supports the air filtration bag so that your entire filtration system runs smoothly.

But when the dust collector support cage becomes old or damaged, it directly impacts system performance, emission levels and maintenance cost. In this blog, we will share 5 clear signs that will tell you that it is now necessary to replace your filter cage.

And yes, if you are looking for high-quality, long-lasting filter cages, then ARG Tech India Pvt Ltd  – Best manufacturer in Chhattisgarh India, trusted by industries nationwide, is your right partner.

1. Rust and Corrosion

What to look for:

If your cage shows signs of rust or corrosion, especially at welding joints, it is no longer functioning properly. Moisture and chemicals can cause the cage to deteriorate rapidly.

Why it is important:

  • Rust weakens the cage and prevents proper support for the bag.
  • Sharp corroded edges can damage air filtration bags.
  • In the long term, your bag house bags will deteriorate rapidly.

Tip:

Use stainless steel or galvanised cages, especially if your environment is humid or acidic. ARG Tech India Pvt Ltd cages are specially designed for long life and rust-resistance.

2. Deformation or Weak Structure

What to look for:

Bent wires, compressed rings or overall shape deformation – these are all signs that the cage is structurally weak. This causes the air filtration support cage to not maintain its shape.

Why it is important:

  • Bag does not inflate/deflate properly during pulse cleaning.
  • If the cage is deformed, the air filtration bag starts to rub, causing it to tear.
  • Your system becomes inefficient and pressure drop increases.

Tip:

Inspect the cages every 6 months. If more than 10% of the cages are damaged, it is time for replacement.

3. Emissions are increasing

What to look for:

If your emission level is increasing without any visible reason, then definitely check the cage. If pollution control suddenly fails, then understand that something is wrong.

Why it is important:

  • Weak cages do not support bag house bags, due to which particles leak.
  • Regulatory compliance can fail.
  • Excessive emissions can lead to fines and environmental issues.

Tip:

Monitor emissions and differential pressure regularly. If levels are increasing consistently, then the issue may be with the filter cage. ARG Tech India Pvt Ltd premium air filtration support cages help keep emissions low.

4. Frequent Filter Bag Failures

What to look for:

If filter bags need to be replaced frequently, inspect the cage. If cuts, holes, and abrasions are visible in bags, assume the cage is responsible.

Why it is important:

  • Damaged cages have sharp edges that puncture the bags.
  • Frequent bag failures increase downtime and cost.
  • System reliability is reduced.

Tip:

Each time you replace air filtration bags, check the cage as well. Best practice is to replace the cage at the same time as the bag house bags.

5. Compliance Risk and Inspections

What to look for:

Is your plant failing frequent audits? Cage damage may be the reason the system is not delivering expected performance.

Why it is important:

  • Weak cages reduce filtration efficiency.
  • Regulatory bodies can impose penalties.
  • Sudden shutdowns and legal problems can occur.

Tip:

Use high-standard cages from ARG Tech India Pvt Ltd, one of the top bag, cage and venturi manufacturers. Our cages are tested and certified for long-term reliable operation.
