ACCUGAF

Summary

Product Identification

The ACCUGAF™ Filter Bag series is manufactured according to ISO 9002 regulations. Each product features a label with a batch number for raw material traceability and quality assurance.

The ordering code follows the structure AGF-53-E 02 E - O - 10M, where:

• AGF represents the product line.
• 53 indicates the ACCUGAF Range.
• E specifies a Mesh Cover.
• 02 denotes the Filter Bag Size.
• E identifies the Ring Type as a PP SENTINEL® Ring.
• O indicates a round bottom.
• 10M is for the micron rating (not explicitly defined in this extract but implied by the '10M').

Available filter bag sizes and their corresponding filter areas are:

• Code 01: 7″dia x 16″L, 0.24 m²
• Code 02: 7″dia x 32″L, 0.48 m²
• Code 03: 4″dia x 8″L, 0.08 m²
• Code 04: 4″dia x 14″L, 0.16 m²

Packaging details:

• Size 01/02: 10 bags/box, Box Size 480x310x360 mm
• Size 03/04: 10 bags/box, Box Size 440x300x150 mm

The ACCUGAF Range includes models 51, 53, 55, 57, 59.

Materials of Construction

ACCUGAF™ filter bags are manufactured from 100% pure polypropylene, offering a clean, chemically resistant, and silicone-free material. The filter bags are constructed entirely of FDA-listed materials that meet the requirements for Food Contact Applications, and also comply with EC Directive 90/128/EEC for use in contact with Foodstuffs. A New UNI-WELD™ Process uses a single-step welding operation for a consistent and strong weld-seam, improving fit and resistance to shock loading.

Operating Limits

The following are recommendations for guidance; individual performance tests are advised for optimum conditions.

• Maximum Differential Pressure: 5.2 bar (76 psi) @ 25°C
• Maximum Operating Temperature: 90°C (194°F)

The maximum allowable differential pressure is dependent upon the temperature and chemistry of the process fluid. The pressure drop across the filter bag is the best indication of when to change a bag.

Mechanical / Hydraulic

During filtration, the ACCUGAF™ filter bag must be supported in an original HAYWARD Industrial Products restrainer basket. Fractional Efficiency Tests are run using a Size 02 bag at a flow rate of 10 m³/hr in deionized water at ambient conditions.

Quality and Testing

Manufacturing processes adhere to strict ISO 9002 regulations. HAYWARD Industrial Products employs a Fractional Efficiency Test, a technique using ISO Fine Dust and a Laser Particle Counter, to assess a filter's ability to remove selected challenges. The results serve as a general indication of performance and for comparisons between models.
