A baghouse is an industrial air filtration device designed to remove dust and solid particles from gases generated during manufacturing processes. Essentially, it is a dust collector that uses specialized fabric and non-woven filters to capture contaminants, allowing clean air to be released.
Baghouse filter cost for installation and operation in the United States can vary depending on its capacity, structural features, level of automation, and other factors. Below are approximate price ranges for the main components and installations based on U.S. market data. These estimates are approximate, as the exact price depends on the specific project and the customer’s requirements.

System Cost
Depending on the volume of air to be processed, baghouse filters cost can be categorized as follows:
- Small units capable of handling up to 5000 CFM: $20,000 to $50,000.
- Cost of baghouse with a medium capacity of 10000–50000 CFM: $60,000 to $350,000.
- Large units processing over 50000 CFM: $350,000 and above, based on project complexity and materials used.
Bags
Bags are the main filtration element of the equipment. The number of sleeves is calculated individually depending on the type of contaminants and the volume of gas being processed.
For example, in medium-sized industries, the equipment may have between 10 and 100 sleeves. More powerful facilities require 100 to 500 sleeves, such as in specific sections of large factories. Large enterprises install systems with 1000 or more filters (cement plants, metallurgy, coal power plants), where the volume of air processed is very high. Therefore, the final baghouse cost must account for this.

The price of a bag varies depending on the material and the type of contaminant.
- Polyester: $5–$10 per sleeve.
- Polypropylene, Nylon: $10–$15 per bag.
- High-temperature materials (Nomex, PTFE): $15–$30 per sleeve.
- For large equipment with a high number of filters (e.g., 100 or more), the price of bags can reach several thousand dollars.
How to Work a Bag Filter
Cleaning System
During the filtration process, dust that accumulates on the filters must be cleaned. For this, cleaning systems are used: Pulse Jet, Shaker, Reverse Air. Automatic methods are preferred because they do not interrupt the production process.
Pulse Jet Cleaning
Pulse Jet is one of the most reliable, fast, and efficient cleaning systems using compressed air, with costs ranging from $5000 to $25000, based on the volume of compressed air and the number of valves.

Mechanical Shaking (Shaker)
Typically cheaper than pulse jet systems, with prices between $3000 and $10000. They have proven to be effective in practice and are automatic. They also take up less space.

Reverse Air Cleaning
Prices vary from $8000 to $20000, depending on the size and capacity of the system.

Fans
Fans and motors perform important functions, ensuring the proper movement of air and contributing to the effective dust removal from the air. Without these components, filtration would be inefficient, as the gas would not be able to pass freely through the sleeves and be cleaned of contaminating particles.
The average price of a fan for small devices ranges from $2000 to $10000. For larger setups, the price can reach $30,000 or higher if a high-performance fan with greater efficiency is required.

Control System and Automation
A basic control setup ranges from $5000 to $15000, including control panels and sensors for monitoring pressure and temperature.
Advanced automation, including PLC controllers and remote monitoring, ranges from $15000 to $50000, depending on the functionality and the volume of data that needs to be monitored.

Installation and Setup
When considering baghouse prices, be sure to factor in installation, maintenance, and operational costs. It depends on the size, type of building, and installation requirements.
- For small configurations, the amount can vary from $10000 to $20000.
- For medium and large devices, the range can be from $30000 to $100000 and above, especially if the installation requires additional infrastructure modifications.
Operating and Ongoing Costs
Filter replacement is a necessary maintenance procedure. For large configurations, replacement costs can range from $3000 to $20000 annually, depending on the frequency of replacements and operating conditions.
Energy consumption must also be considered. The average annual electricity costs for small units are about $1000–$2000, while for larger configurations, it can reach $20000 and above.
Periodic maintenance costs are around $1000–$15000 annually, based on operating conditions and the frequency of filter cleaning.
