Filter cloths
Filter cloths for filter presses
A perfect fit. Process reliable. Durable.
Filter cloths are the heart of every filter press. JVK® supplies customized filter cloths for almost all press types and media – from fine-grained concentrates to abrasive tailings. Optimized fabrics, clean edge seals and precise cuts ensure short cycles, low residual moisture and stable filtrate quality.
Advantages of JVK® filter cloths
- Long service life thanks to selected fiber qualities and precise manufacture
- Fast cake build-up thanks to adapted permeability and surface structure
- Reliable sealing: cleanly assembled sealing zones, precisely fitting hole/slot patterns
- Low cake adhesion due to suitable finish (e.g. calendered, coated)
- Traceability: clear labeling, batch documentation
Materials & fabrics
- Polypropylene (PP) – standard for many aqueous media, chemically resistant
- Polyamide (PA) – robust, for higher abrasion
- Polyester (PES) – temperature-resistant, dimensionally stable
- Special finishes: Antistatic, oleo/hydrophobic, nap/satin fabric, multilayer liner
Design according to process
We adjust the pore size, air permeability and surface finish to the medium, temperature, pH value and desired cake thickness. The result: consistently low residual moisture and reduced cycle times.
