Filter Fabrics

Filter fabrics are used for solid-liquid separation on various types of belt filters in a wide variety of industries. They are typically made of wear resistant PET, which gives them an excellent dimensional stability and high tensile strength. Joined by a suitable type of seam – permanent or removable – they are installed as endless belts.

Filter fabrics used for dewatering of sludge with hard and very abrasive particles or those used in alkaline environment, are made of PAD yarns or of the combination of PAD and PET yarns to reach the optimum dimensional stability, resistance to abrasion and to high pH.

Filter fabrics made of PP are used in an aggressive chemical environment.



Examples of Application:

• Food industry (fruit juice, starch, etc.)
• Dewatering of paper sludge and pulp
• Dewatering of municipal and industrial sludge
• Thickening of sludge in gravity thickeners
• Dewatering of fine particle suspensions in vacuum belt filters (FGD, coal, fine minerals, etc.)
• Conveyor belts
