Filter Cloths

Material: Filter press clothes are typically made from various types of fabric, chosen based on the specific application. Common materials include:

• Polypropylene: Often used for general filtration due to its chemical resistance, low cost, and durability.
• Nylon: Known for its strength and resistance to abrasion, it’s used in more demanding filtration applications.
• Polyester: Offers good chemical resistance and high-temperature tolerance, often used in industries like chemical processing.
• Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF): Used for highly corrosive materials, such as acids or solvents.
• Stainless Steel Mesh: Used for very fine filtration or high-temperature and high-pressure applications.

Pore Size

The cloth’s pore size (or micron rating) is essential for filtering the desired particle size. The fabric needs to have pores small enough to trap solid particles while allowing liquid to pass through. Filter press cloths come in various micron ratings to suit different filtration requirements (typically from 1 to 100 microns).

Applications of Filter Press Clothes:

• Water and Wastewater Treatment: (Dewatering the chemical or biological slurry)
• Food and Beverage: (Filtering liquids like juices, oils, and wines to remove solids)
• Chemical Industry: (Separating solid particles from chemicals, solvents, or other liquids
•  
• Pharmaceuticals: (Filtering pharmaceutical formulations or other liquids where cleanliness and purity are essential)
• Oil and Gas: (Filtering drilling muds or separating oil from byproducts)

Choosing the Right Filter Press Cloth:

• Consider the Material Being Filtered:
• Determine the Micron Rating:
• Evaluate the Pressure and Temperature:
• Dirt Holding Capacity
