A filter press cloth is a permeable fabric barrier installed on the plates of a filter press. Its primary function is mechanical separation. As slurry is pumped into the press, the cloth retains the solids while allowing the filtrate (liquid) to exit.

For industries ranging from mining to food processing, the performance of this cloth determines:

• The clarity of the filtrate.
• The dryness of the solid waste or product (filter cake).
• The speed of the filtration cycle.

Markert designs these cloths to handle the specific chemical and mechanical stresses of your operation, ensuring that your filtration process remains continuous and cost-effective.

Not all filtration media are created equal. Markert filter cloths are manufactured for all types of horizontal chamber and membrane filter presses. We can accommodate plate widths up to 3 meters, making our solutions scalable for large industrial applications.

Our innovative designs utilize high-quality plastics, yarns, and bonds. We select these specifically to align with your unique production processes. By customizing the materials to the application, we deliver outstanding performance across several key metrics.

1. Excellent Cake Release

Sticking cake slows down operations and requires manual intervention. Our cloths are surface-treated to ensure smooth, automatic cake release. This keeps your cycles short and your operators safe.

2. Clear Filtrate

If your goal is a pure liquid product, particle bleed-through is unacceptable. Our precision-woven fabrics guarantee the purity of your liquid product by capturing even fine particulates effectively.

3. Dry Filter Cake

Whether you are recovering valuable solids or reducing waste disposal costs, moisture content matters. Markert filter press cloth designs maximize solid recovery and minimize waste by facilitating high-pressure squeeze cycles without structural failure.

4. Maximum Throughput

Time is money. Our high-flow designs prevent blinding (clogging), increasing your operational efficiency and overall output per shift.

5. Long Service Life

Frequent cloth changes disrupt production. We provide durable, cost-effective solutions that resist abrasion and chemical attack, extending the intervals between maintenance.

Industrial environments are demanding. A standard fabric will likely stretch or degrade when exposed to aggressive slurries.

Markert filter cloths deliver superior chemical resistance and optimal mechanical strength. We engineer them with minimal stretching properties. This dimensional stability ensures reliable performance even under high filtration pressures.

We provide a comprehensive range of filter media, from the finest to the coarsest separation capabilities. Whether you need monofilament, multifilament, or mono-multifilament yarns, our experienced specialists are ready to apply their extensive knowledge to find the perfect solution for your needs.

Our filter press cloth solutions are versatile. They are ideal for a variety of filtration processes, specifically the preparation and dewatering of:

• Ores and Minerals: Handling abrasive slurries in mining operations.
• Chemical Products: Resisting aggressive acids, alkalis, and solvents.
• Pharmaceutical Products: Meeting strict hygiene and purity standards.
• Food and Beverage Products: Ensuring safety and clarity in consumables.
