Support Cages

Quality Support Cages In Many Styles

GE manufactures cages for use in most baghouses. Properly designed cages serve as critical baghouse components for optimum bag performance and durability.

Cages are traditionally constructed of one of the following:

  • Low carbon steel (bright basic wire)
  • Galvanized low carbon steel
  • Type 304 stainless steel
  • Type 316 stainless steel
  • Hastelloy®
  • Other specialty materials

Rigid wire cages

Standard and specialty cage tops are available and all bottom pans are welded to the inside. Options for rigid wire cages include:
  • 12 gauge wire diameter - .1055 in. (.27 cm)
  • 11 gauge wire diameter - .1205 in. (.31 cm)
  • 9 gauge wire diameter - .148 in. (.38 cm)
  • 7 gauge wire diameter - .177 in. (.45 cm)
  • 4 to 7.375 inch cage diameter (10.16 cm to 18.73 cm)
  • Customized number of vertical wires (8, 10, 12, or 20)
  • Customized ring spacing - standard is 6 in. or 8 in. (15.24 cm or 20.32 cm)

Specialty cages

GE offers specialty cage designs for specific applications including:

Omni cage

The Omni cage top was developed to facilitate snapband bag removal. It has a detachable top, which allows removal of the cage top first. With the cage top no longer blocking access to the snapband, the band can be snapped loose from the tubesheet, and the bag and cage body lifted out easily.

Two-piece cage

For applications with low headroom in the clean air plenum, GE offers a two-piece cage. This style can make for easier installation and removal in these difficult applications.

Chemically-resistant finishes

In addition to providing various stainless steel alternatives, GE can provide PTFE and epoxy finishes to resist chemical attack.
