Filter Bag Needle Hole Sealing: How to Triple Speed and Eliminate Leakage with Silicone Technology

In the filter bag industry, needle hole leakage has always been a hidden but costly problem. Traditionally, most factories use PTFE tape sealing, a process that is slow, energy-intensive, and unstable. Now, a new breakthrough has changed the game: two-component silicone sealing technology, which works in real-time with sewing machines at 10 m/min, delivering 3× the efficiency of PTFE tape (3 m/min) while ensuring long-term zero leakage.

1. The Drawbacks of PTFE Tape

While PTFE tape sealing has been used for years, it comes with serious limitations:

  • ⚠️ Slow speed: Max. 3 m/min, which slows down the entire production line.
  • ⚠️ High energy consumption: Requires heating above 650°C, generating hazardous fumes.
  • ⚠️ Health & safety risk: Even with smoke extraction, micro-particles can still be inhaled.
  • ⚠️ Unstable sealing: Because of fabric thickness variation and overlapped stitches, the tape often lifts at the edges, leaving hidden leakage risks.
  • ⚠️ Maintenance burden: Frequent roller wear, tape waste, and rework increase total cost.

In short, PTFE tape sealing is slow, risky, and unreliable.

2. The Breakthrough: Two-Component Silicone Sealing

KABORY introduces a revolutionary synchronized sealing technology:

  • ✅ Real-time sealing at 10 m/min — same speed as high-performance sewing machines.
  • ✅ Instant curing in 5 seconds — no high-temperature heating required.
  • ✅ Cylinder-shaped filling — silicone penetrates each needle hole, forming a strong inner seal.
  • ✅ Double-layer sealing — inside silicone + outside sewing thread coating = zero leakage guarantee.
  • ✅ Eco-friendly & safe — no toxic gas emissions, no harmful micro-particles.

This is not just an upgrade — it’s a complete replacement for PTFE tape.

3. Double Insurance: Why Silicone Sealing Works Better

Unlike PTFE tape that only covers the surface, silicone technology seals from inside-out:

  • Inner Seal: Each needle hole is filled with cured silicone.
  • Outer Seal: The sewing thread is coated by an additional silicone layer.

This dual-protection method ensures long-term durability under high temperature, pressure, and humidity — conditions where PTFE tape often fails.

4. The Real Impact on Your Factory

Switching to silicone sealing technology means:

  • 🚀 3× higher productivity (10 m/min vs 3 m/min)
  • 💰 Lower cost per bag (less rework, less maintenance, no tape waste)
  • 🛡️ Zero leakage guarantee (double insurance sealing)
  • 🌍 Safer workplace (no toxic fumes, no overheating process)
  • 🔧 Long-term reliability (proven stability across thousands of bags daily)

For factories producing 200,000+ bags per year, the impact is massive:

  • Fewer machines required
  • Fewer operators needed
  • Faster ROI (payback within 1–2 years)

5. Conclusion: The Future of Filter Bag Sealing

The choice is clear.

  • PTFE tape is outdated: slow, unsafe, and unreliable.
  • Two-component silicone sealing is the future: fast, clean, and long-lasting.

👉 Factories that adopt this technology now will secure higher capacity, lower cost, and stronger customer trust in an increasingly competitive market.
