Filter Fabric Weave Selection

The correct weave is a very important factor in the selection of filter media. Satin weaves generally offer the best cake release. They do not blind readily and have fair abrasion resistance, but poor particle retention. Twill weaves provide good resilience and resistance to abrasion. The increased surface area of twill fabric delivers good drainage and […]

Spun Fabrics

Spun fabrics are produced by yarns that are made up of short staple fiber. All natural fabrics such as cotton and wool will always be spun fabrics as we’re unable to produce natural fabrics in continuous filament. Synthetic fabrics such as polyester, polypropylene, nylon, corder, etc., can be produced in staple or spun fabric form. […]

Combination Fabrics

We produce combination fabrics to achieve special affects which we need in combination from two different styles of fabric. For example, we produce combination monofilament and multifilament fabrics because we want the efficiency of the multifilament fabric, but we want the release and slick surface characteristic of a monofilament fabric. We see many times in […]

Filter Fabric Media Selection

The most versatile and consistently efficient equipment for liquid-solid separation is the fabric filter. The media used for filtering is the heart of the total system and is a major factor in determining the efficiency of the system and the cost of its operation. Four factors must be considered in proper filter media selection – […]

Filter Yarn Selection

Proper yarn selection is critical in the design of filtration fabrics as both the warp and fill yarns contribute specific properties to the filter fabric. Both yarns must be compatible for optimum cover uniformity producing a quality defect free fabric which when finished will be stable and uniform in filter efficiency as well as flow […]

Filter Fabric Finishing Selection

After weaving a “greige” fabric composed of the optimum weave and yarn combinations for an intended application, proper finishing is critical for this fabric to perform in the filter. In woven fabrics, both the warp and fill yarns are placed under extreme tension and will remain that way until they are finished. The finishing process […]

How does a filter work?

In general, the filter filter is composed of fiber, filter, sponge and other information on the air in the solid, liquid particles after interception, will cohesion in the filter surface, followed by the role of gravity precipitation to the bottom of the device, And finally through the drain operation or manual discharge.
