How to Choose the Right Filter Cloth for the Filter Press?

Posted by

Filter cloth is a crucial component of the filter press, which directly affects the filtering effect and working efficiency of the filter press. Therefore, it is very important to choose the right filter cloth for filter press.

When choosing filter cloth for the filter press, the following factors need to be considered:

1. Material properties – particle size, shape and hardness of the material: if the particles are large and hard, wear-resistant filter cloth with larger pore size is required; if the particles are small, filter cloth with smaller pore size and higher filtration accuracy is required. – Chemical properties of the material: such as pH, corrosiveness, etc. In strong acid and alkali environments, filter cloth materials with strong acid and alkali resistance should be selected, such as polypropylene, PTFE, etc.

2. Filtration accuracy requirements – clarify the purity of the required filtrate to determine the pore size and porosity of the filter cloth.

3. Temperature and pressure conditions – in high temperature and high pressure environments, filter cloth materials and structures with high temperature and high pressure resistance and good stability should be selected.

4. Filter cloth material – common materials include polypropylene, polyester, nylon, cotton nylon, etc. Each material has different characteristics, such as polypropylene has better acid and alkali resistance and polyester has high strength.

5. Permeability and water permeability – ensure that the filter cloth has good water permeability during the filtration process to improve filtration efficiency.

6. Service life and cost – Consider the price and expected service life of the filter cloth and choose a product with high cost performance.

7. Manufacturer reputation and after-sales service – Choose a manufacturer with a good reputation and perfect after-sales service so that you can get technical support and problem solving during use. For example, ChinaFilter.

8. Experimentation and trial – Before large-scale application, conduct small-scale experiments or trials to observe the filtering effect and performance of the filter cloth.

When choosing filter cloth for filter press, you can consult the professionals of filter cloth manufacturer. We can recommend the suitable filter cloth products according to your specific needs.
