Engineered for Maximum Dewatering Efficiency in Filter Presses
Skytech Ultrafab Filter Press Cloth is precision-woven filter media for plate-and-frame and recessed-chamber filter press dewatering across chemical, pharmaceutical, mineral, sugar, starch, and wastewater industries. Our cloth delivers superior cake release, low blinding tendency, outstanding chemical and temperature resistance, and accurate dimensional fitment to every major filter press plate design.
What Is Filter Press Cloth?
Filter Press Cloth is the filtration medium that fits over each plate in a filter press. As slurry is pumped into the press under pressure, liquid passes through the cloth and drains away while solids accumulate on the cloth surface to form a filter cake. The cloth must provide the correct particle retention while offering low resistance to filtrate flow and clean cake release at every cycle.
Filter Press Cloth
Features and Benefits
-
Superior Cake Release:
Optimised surface texture and yarn type prevent cake adhesion, enabling clean drop discharge at every press opening
-
Low Blinding Tendency:
Open weave structures and surface treatments resist particle embedment for longer wash-cycle intervals
-
Wide Material Range:
PP, PES, nylon, cotton, and PTFE cover the full range of slurry chemistries and operating temperatures
-
Custom Press-Fit:
Precision-cut with accurate neck dimensions, ear holes, and corner reinforcements for airtight fitment on all plate sizes
-
High Tensile Strength:
Heavy-duty yarns withstand up to 16 bar filter press closing and hydraulic pressures without distortion
-
Longevity:
High-quality woven structure resists physical wear from millions of filter and cake discharge cycles
