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.
SnapFit® - filter cloth change in minutes
With JVK® SnapFit®, cloth changes are tool-free and significantly faster. The system guides the cloth into the holding groove in a defined manner – without reworking, without creases . Ideal for systems with frequent product changes.
- Time saving: significantly shorter downtimes
- Process reliability: reproducible positioning, tight edges
- Ergonomics: less effort, no screwing
Service & assembly
- Measurement on site or according to drawing/photo
- Fit test with test cloth
- Series production including labeling and packaging according to customer standards
- Express replacement for critical systems
Applications
Mining (concentrates, tailings), chemicals & pharmaceuticals, ceramics, food, environmental technology/sludge, recycling.
Request filter cloths now – specify press type, plate size, inlet type (center/corner), cake thickness, medium/temperature/pH and desired target values. We will supply a suitable cloth specification including service life and cycle recommendation.
