The advantages of a ceramic filter are:

• The same general advantages as cloth filters

• Ceramic filters have a high dust removal efficiency

• Ceramic filters have been built modular and can manage high dust taxes

• Fiber elements have on the other hand relative smaller pressure, At the same time they are cheaper and have a small weight

The disadvantages of the ceramic filter are:

• Ceramic filters demands much maintenance and have a high weight

• Fiber elements in which cloth or fiber is processed need a lot of support

• Cleaning fiber elements demands large problems because on high
  temperature the lump shaping of the dust are hampered back as a
  result of cleaning and therefore difficult to remove to remove

• Less suitable for sticky dust

• Temperature fluctuations cleaning with press air

• Explosion danger at flammable dust

• Relatively high costs
