Applications
Brasco filter bags are designed for cement kilns, clinker coolers, power stations, food and beverage plants, chemical and metallurgical processes. Engineered for maximum dust capture efficiency, extended service life, and compliance with international standards, our bags perform reliably even in the harshest industrial environments.
Strategic Advantage
Through our partnership with Heading (China), Brasco secures premium filter fabrics and advanced needle-punch technology, ensuring global-quality media with local availability. This partnership, combined with our automated lines, also positions Brasco as a qualified Eskom supplier, where each of South Africa’s 13 coal-fired stations requires 30,000–60,000 bags per plant.
