Support Cages, Filter Cages & Venturis for Filter Bags and Filter Sleeves

Support cages, also known as filter cages or baghouse cages, provide structural support for filter bags and filter sleeves as well as filter pockets used in industrial dust collection systems. They prevent the filter media from collapsing, deforming or becoming damaged during operation and cleaning cycles.

A correctly selected support cage contributes to longer filter life, stable airflow and efficient cleaning of the filtration system.

SOLANA supplies support cages and venturis for new installations, existing dust collection systems and replacement projects.

What Is a Support Cage or Filter Cage?

A support cage, also known as a filter cage or baghouse cage, provides the internal support structure for a filter bag, filter sleeve or filter pocket. The cage keeps the filter media fully open during filtration and withstands the mechanical forces generated during filter cleaning.

Damaged, deformed or corroded cages can result in:

  • increased wear of the filter media
  • reduced cleaning efficiency
  • higher pressure drop
  • lower filtration performance
  • shorter filter service life

Timely replacement of damaged support cages helps prevent these issues.

What Is a Venturi?

A venturi is primarily used in pulse-jet dust collection systems. The venturi helps direct the compressed air pulse into the filter bag more efficiently, improving the cleaning of the filter media.

A properly designed venturi contributes to:

  • more effective filter cleaning
  • improved filter cake removal
  • reduced compressed air consumption
  • more stable filtration performance
  • longer filter life

For applications involving fine or sticky dust particles, the use of precoating powder may further improve filter cleaning performance.

Materials and Surface Treatments

We supply support cages in various materials:

  • carbon steel
  • galvanized steel
  • stainless steel
  • aluminium

Available surface treatments include:

  • electro-galvanizing
  • epoxy coating
  • powder coating

The most suitable material depends on operating temperature, humidity, corrosive conditions and mechanical loads.

Configurations and Designs

Support cages are available in different shapes and constructions:

  • round support cages
  • square support cages
  • oval support cages
  • with bottom
  • without bottom
  • with venturi
  • without venturi

The correct configuration depends on the dimensions of the filter element, the design of the filtration system and the operating conditions.

Support Cages for Different Brands and Installations

SOLANA supplies support cages and venturis for a wide range of dust collection systems and filtration units.

We can supply support cages for installations from manufacturers such as:

  • Typhoon
  • Delta Neu
  • WAM
  • Infastaub
  • Donaldson
  • Camfil
  • Nederman

We can also provide suitable replacement cages and venturis for older or less common installations.

Are the original technical specifications no longer available?

An existing support cage, photographs, dimensions or a technical drawing are often sufficient to identify a suitable replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions About Support Cages and Venturis

Are Support Cages and Filter Cages the Same?

Yes. The terms support cage, filter cage and baghouse cage are often used interchangeably. They all refer to the internal support structure that keeps a filter bag, filter sleeve or filter pocket open during filtration and cleaning.

What Is the Difference Between a Support Cage and a Venturi?

A support cage supports the filter bag, filter sleeve or filter pocket and prevents deformation during operation and cleaning. A venturi is a separate component that optimises compressed air flow in pulse-jet systems and improves filter cleaning efficiency.

When Should a Support Cage Be Replaced?

Damage, corrosion, deformation or broken wires can negatively affect the performance of the filter media. Timely replacement helps prevent premature filter wear and reduced filtration efficiency.

Can a Venturi Be Replaced Separately?

Yes. In many installations, the venturi can be replaced without replacing the complete support cage assembly.

Which Material Is Most Suitable?

The most suitable material depends on operating temperature, humidity, chemical exposure and mechanical loading. SOLANA can assist in selecting the most appropriate material for your application.

Looking for the Right Support Cage or Venturi?

We can help you select the most suitable support cage or venturi for your installation, including situations where the existing cage is damaged or no longer performs correctly.

Please provide, where available:

  • diameter and length of the support cage
  • type of filtration system
  • material of the existing cage
  • photographs or technical drawings
  • details of the existing venturi, if available
