systems. available.

HAYWARD Industries entered the filtration market in 1994

with a specialized line of industrial and commercial filtra-
tion products. Acquiring the American Felt and Filter’s
Filtration Division in 1996 added bag filters and filter
media to HAYWARD’s product mix, while acquiring
Germany’s LOEFFLER® Filter-Technik in 1998 greatly
expanded HAYWARD’s bag filtration product line. In
1999, the acquisition of GAF® Filter Systems established
HAYWARD as the world’s premier supplier of liquid bag
filtration products.

GAF Filter Systems developed the concept of liquid bag

filtration over three decades ago, building it into the
sophisticated filtration systems that are available today.
In fact, every existing bag filtration system today is
modeled on GAF Filter Systems’ original patents.

For more than 40 years, LOEFFLER developed innovative

advances in multi-bag filtration vessels for liquid filtration
systems, including a unique quick opening cover that
greatly reduced bag change-out times, and a tangential
outlet which reduced vessel height, making it easier to
access the filter bags. These companies’ more than
seven decades of bag filtration expertise have merged
under the HAYWARD banner. As a result, HAYWARD now
far exceeds the capabilities of any other manufacturer,
and continues to evolve as one of the largest manufac-

PROGAF
The Filter Bag that Works Better
Than a Filter Cartridge
PROGAF filter bags bring a new, high-performance alter-
native to applications requiring absolute filtration.
PROGAF’s progressive density depth filtration delivers
high efficiency (>99.98%) and long life with all the con-
venient features of a bag filter. In comparison with other
filtration technologies, PROGAF delivers lower operating
costs while retaining the ease of change-out typical of a
bag filter.

Welded Construction for Superior Performance

All PROGAF High Performance Filter Bags feature 100%
welded construction for better filtration performance. This
construction ensures that nothing bypasses the process
media through holes in the fabric created from sewing the
material. HAYWARD’s proprietary welding technology
produces a super-strong seam that stands up to the most
demanding applications.

PROGAF™ Filter Bags Seal Better

The patented SENTINEL provides a flexible, chemically-
resistant seal which adapts to any filter vessel. This
unique design employs a pressure-activated sealing lip
which responds to increases in differential pressure. As
the pressure increases, the seal of the ring improves,

LOFCLEAR™ Series 500 Filter Bags

LOFCLEAR Series 500 Filter Bags have an all-welded
multi-pleated construction for high efficiency and long
life. This series of bags has a pleated prefiltration layer
and a complex design of final filtration layers, allowing the
removal of difficult-to-filter gels and deformable particles
with a high capacity of solids loading. The outer web
covering eliminates any downstream fiber migration.

LOFCLEAR Series
500 Filter Bags are
available in four
different efficiency
ratings so you can
choose your exact
required filtration ef-
ficiency. LOFCLEAR
Filter Bags have fil-
tration efficiencies
from 95 to 99%, with
a dirt-holding capa- A pleated prefilter provides a very large surface (about 3m 2) to collect gels and
city of over 1000g. solids before it reaches the final filter layers.

Among the many applications for LOFCLEAR Series 500 Filter Bags are oils, slurries, dilute oil removal, re-circulating
batch systems, and systems with heavy contamination.

OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
Bag Positioner
LOFCLEAR Series 500 filter bags must be used with the HAYWARD bag positioner. This eases insertion and assures
correct alignment of the filter bag inside the restrainer basket. In addition, the filter bag will be protected against damage
to inadvertent back-flow.

change-out labor, storage and disposal. Processes run longer and need fewer bag changes with
DURAGAF filter bags.

All-Welded Construction for Superior

Performance
All DURAGAF filter bags feature 100% welded fabrication
and the HAYWARD SENTINEL seal. This construction
eliminates the bypass which can occur in standard sewn
filter bags. HAYWARD proprietary welding technology
produces a super-strong seam that will stand up to even
the most demanding applications without failure.

DURAGAF Filter Bags Seal Better

in Critical Applications
The patented SENTINEL seal is standard on all DURAGAF
filter bags. The unique, pressure-actuated ring actually
improves its seal as differential pressure increases.

No Downstream Fiber Contamination

All DURAGAF filter bags are manufactured with a propri-
etary downstream surface treatment to prevent fiber
migration. A special finish is obtained by glazing the sur-
face, melting fibers together to form a tight, secure down-
stream matrix. In addition, the weld seams are heat
bonded to eliminate loose fibers which might result dur-
ing fabrication.

Food and Beverage Applications

DURAGAF filter bags are available in models (POXLF,
PEXLF) which are compliant with FDA and EC require-
ments for food contact.

HAYWARD’s Revolutionary New Filter Element

HAYFLOW ™– The Next Generation

of Filtration Systems
With this new, patent pending filter element HAYWARD
technology has combined the best of both bag and
cartridge filters into one single filtration element for
outstanding filtration performance. Because HAYFLOW’s
surface area is up to 65% greater than a similar size filter
bag, existing systems that use HAYFLOW experience
longer filter element life and less changing, resulting in
reduced running costs. With HAYFLOW, designers of
new bag filtration systems can opt for reduced running
costs or, because of the high flow rates possible with
HAYFLOW, reduce filter vessel size by up to 50% thus
lowering the initial cost of the system.

What Makes the HAYFLOW™ Element Better

The heart of HAYWARD’s HAYFLOW filter element is two
concentric cylinders of high-quality extended life HAYWARD
filter media. These cylinders are formed using unique
welding technology to create a no by-pass seam. The
diameter of the cylinder is the same size as a standard
filter bag, so retrofitting into existing systems is easy. The
HAYFLOW element is fitted with HAYWARD’s patented
SENTINEL® sealing ring, ensuring a positive seal with the
filter vessel to protect against bypass of the process media.

How the HAYFLOW™ Element Works

The process fluid enters the inside of the element, passes
through it, and exits through the vessel outlet. Like a filter
bag, the filtered-out material stays inside the HAYFLOW
element. The HAYFLOW element is unlike a filter
cartridge, where the residue of the filtered material
remains on the outside of the cartridge, complicating the
changing process.

An All-Around Better Choice

Changing a HAYFLOW filter element can actually be easier
than changing a filter bag, because HAYFLOW’s revolutionary
design only retains 25% of the residual liquid volume of a
similarly sized filter bag. When you need to change the
element, it weighs up to 75% less than a filter bag. A full
bag can weigh up to 15 kg, so weight is an important
