Filter Bags
ANKOM Technology Filter Bags (part # F57 and F58) are designed to produce precision and accurate fiber results.
The F57 bags should be used when grinding samples using a cutter type mill with a 1 mm screen which is typically
referenced by the approved methods. For finer ground samples or if particle loss is suspected, use the F58 bags which
have a finer pore size.
Use of other types of filtration media not tested and approved by ANKOM Technology may cause damage to electrical
valves and other components and void your warranty. Filter bags can be purchased from ANKOM Technology or
from your local authorized ANKOM distributor.
