Industrial Filter Press Cloth Function

Filter press cloth is used in filter press machines to separate solids from liquids. It retains solid particles while allowing filtrate (liquid) to pass through under pressure.

Applications

• Chemical industry
• Pharmaceuticals
• Food & beverage
• Mining & minerals
• Effluent treatment plants (ETP/STP)
• Cement & steel industries
• Dyes & pigments

Material Options

• Polypropylene (PP) – Most widely used, excellent chemical resistance
• Polyester (PE) – Good strength and abrasion resistance
• Nylon (Polyamide) – High elasticity and durability
• Cotton – Used for specific applications

Weave Types

• Plain Weave – Tight filtration, smooth surface
• Twill Weave – Better cake release
• Satin Weave – Fine filtration, easy cleaning

Filtration Range

• Typically 1 micron to 100 microns (depending on fabric selection)

Temperature Resistance

• PP: Up to 90°C
• Polyester: Up to 130°C
• Nylon: Up to 120°C

Key Features

• High filtration efficiency
