PROSNAP™ Ring Construction

This advanced type of ring can be made from tape:

  • 25 mm wide
    – used with plates up to 3 mm thick,
  • 35 mm wide
    – used with thicker plates up to 8 mm.

Due to its profile, the PROSNAP™ ring provides exceptional sealing – significantly more effective than traditional SNAP BAND rings, which act mainly on the groove sides.
PROSNAP™ ensures both upper and lower sealing, keeping the filter bag securely in place and maintaining tightness even under intensive use.

Efficiency and Safety

The PROSNAP™ ring is designed with installation safety in mind.



Its slightly larger diameter relative to the housing prevents accidental pushing of the ring into the filter cage, ensuring higher operational safety.



In durability tests, filter bags equipped with the PROSNAP™ ring maintained loads of up to 130 kg without loss of tightness or displacement.

Sewn or Sew-Free?

The PROSNAP™ ring can be used without sewing it onto the filter bag, eliminating the need for stitching along the top seam.


This means:

  • lower material costs (no thread or tape),
  • reduced production time,
  • no need for collar profiling,
  • easier disassembly and lower recycling costs for used bags.

Additionally, the non-sewn bag design ensures cleaner production processes and better compliance with environmental standards.

Applications

The PROSNAP™ system is ideal wherever:

  • assembly time is critical,
  • secure and tight mounting is required,
  • large series of filter bags with repeatable dimensions are produced,
  • the user needs a durable, easy-to-use, and industrial-grade solution.

Snap Band Rings – Standard Retaining Rings
for Filter Bags

Snap Band Rings

are classic, widely used retaining rings applied in industrial filter bag manufacturing.
They are a proven solution for manufacturers who value dimensional precision, material durability, and operational safety – both during assembly and throughout the filter’s service life.

Material and Finish

The rings are made from rolled spring-grade stainless steel strip, offering high chemical and mechanical resistance.
The rolling process produces a smooth, semi-polished surface finish, reducing friction and improving assembly quality.


Each strip is pre-processed to remove sharp edges, which:

  • makes sewing rings into the filter sleeve easier,
  • protects the bag fabric from abrasion during operation,
  • improves safety for assembly workers.

Joining Process

The cut strip sections are joined using stainless steel eyelets (rivets), ensuring:

  • high mechanical strength,
  • corrosion resistance,
  • no electrochemical (galvanic) corrosion at metal contact points.

This method guarantees complete material integrity and eliminates the risk of ring degradation when exposed to harsh working environments (e.g., humidity, chemicals, temperature changes).

Standard Snap Band Rings for Filter Bags with Double cord tape

Standard Snap Band Rings for Filter Bags with Double cord tape – a Classic of Reliability in Bag Filtration

Band Rings with double cord tape are among the most popular and proven solutions in filter bag construction — especially in pulse-jet and reverse-air systems.
Their universality, ease of installation, and sealing effectiveness make them a standard choice in numerous industrial applications.

Design and Functionality

The ring is made of stainless steel strip, around which a double-cord textile band is formed. These beads provide:

  • Secure fitting in the filter plate opening,
  • Effective sealing on both the upper and lower sides of the plate,
  • Resistance to vibrations and pressure variations during filtration operation.

Thanks to their design, double-cord rings eliminate the need for additional seals or adhesives, simplifying both installation and removal of filter bags.


It is worth noting that many filter bag manufacturers apply the beaded band manually — a time-consuming and precision-demanding process.
By outsourcing this process to Salpark, you save time and gain consistent, ready-to-sew constructions without extra assembly steps.

Rigid Wire Rings – Reinforcement and Stabilization
of Long Filter Bags 

Rigid wire rings made of steel are components sewn along the length of a filter bag – typically at intervals of several dozen centimetres – to reinforce and stabilize the structure.
While they do not serve a mounting function like retaining rings at the filter plate, they play an important role in ensuring proper bag operation throughout its service life.

Function and Application

  • Prevent twisting and bending of the bag during filtration operation,
  • Increase the structural stiffness of the filter, especially for long filter bags,
  • Reduce the risk of deformation and abrasion caused by friction with other installation components,
  • Facilitate installation and removal of bags from support cages.

Construction and Materials

The rings are made from steel wire with a specified elasticity, depending on design requirements:

  • galvanized steel – standard option resistant to corrosion, suitable for dry or slightly humid environments,
  • stainless steel – for use in chemically aggressive or high-temperature environments,
  • carbon steel – used where high corrosion resistance is not required, prioritizing cost efficiency.
pierścienie sztywne z drutu

The wire used for production typically has a diameter from 2.5 mm to 6 mm, depending on the bag length and desired structural stiffness.

Production and Installation

The rings are bent using modern CNC bending machines with full diameter control.
Depending on requirements, they can be spot-welded or TIG-welded to match the internal diameter of the bag.
They are sewn in during the bag’s manufacturing process or, in the case of repairs and replacements, can be installed later.


Thanks to their design, rigid rings minimize gaps between the bag and support cage, ensuring proper axial alignment during filtration.
