When the time comes to replace your worn-out baghouse filters, what do you normally do?
Certain filter OEMs make people believe they are locked into a proprietary filter design that only they can supply and that without this one piece, their system won’t work efficiently
Do you just call up the original baghouse system manufacturer or sales rep that supplied you with it armed with a filter part number or gibberish product codes and then wait just to get a sky-high price?
Certain manufacturers deliberately sell their units cheaper and then make people think they are locked into a proprietary filter design that only they can supply, and thus, they charge outrageously high prices for them.
This is common with many cartridge collector OEMs, whereby they win the initial unit sale by undercutting other manufacturers and then plan on making their profit on the expensive replacement filters later on. This marketing technique is commonly called the “razor blade” system, for its well-known use by makers of disposable razors and cartridges.
At that moment, you may wonder, “Can I buy my dust collector filters cheaper?” Well, the simple answer is YES!
Here at Baghouse.com, we offer replacement filters, cartridges, and pleated filters for all makes and models of dust collectors, including the most popular brands, such as Farr, Donaldson/Torrit, and more. Our prices often come in significantly cheaper than buying directly from the original dust collector manufacturer, sometimes as much as 50% less!

The Real Reason They Only Give Vague Part Numbers For Your Baghouse Filters
Many dust collector manufacturers and sales rep organizations that resell other OEM’s dust collectors will go to great lengths to keep you from getting pricing from aftermarket filter manufacturers. This is because they often charge far more than the going market rate for replacement filters. They do this by holding back information that you can use to get a quote elsewhere by using vague and nonsensical part numbers.
We can compare it to buying a new car. The dealer told you that to keep the car in the best mechanical shape, you need to have the car serviced and maintained only at the dealership with “genuine” parts. But as we know, high-quality parts and servicing can be found in many places and at a more economical price.
The same applies to purchasing dust collector filters. When you first bought your baghouse system, the manufacturer may have provided nothing more than a part number for your baghouse filters. This is an attempt to keep you buying parts from them. OEMs usually don’t tell you any details about your filters. Nothing about the size, the material, the type, etc, just a part number. Some OEMs go even further and provide no parts list at all! So when you need to replace the filters all you have is the part number or model/serial number of the unit. So you may think that have no choice but to purchase your filters and other parts directly from them, at whatever price they decide on.
