Fabric Selection Guide


Project Description

Filter fabrics or felts generally serve primarily as a septum which in turn holds in place a base coat in reality that does the filtering of our product, whether this is on a rotary vacuum filter, a centrifuge, or plate and frame pressure type filter.

Filter fabrics (woven) may be classified as the following: all monofilament, all multifilament, combination (monofilament/multifilament or monofilament/spun or multifilament/spun), and all spun.
