Why Filter Cloth Abrasion & Short Service Life?

Symptoms · Root Causes · Proven Solutions

Filter cloths develop holes or tears around feed ports, sealing edges and corners, forcing frequent replacements, production stops and high consumable costs.

The Problem

What Is Happening?

Filter cloths develop holes or tears around feed ports, sealing edges and corners, forcing frequent replacements, production stops and high consumable costs.

Common Symptoms

  • Pinholes, slits and tearing on cloth edges or feed inlets
  • Filtrate suddenly turns turbid after a short running time
  • Monthly cloth replacement volume rises sharply
  • Metal burrs on filter plates scratch new cloth immediately
What Is Happening?
Root Causes

4 Root Causes

01

Abrasive Slurry

Hard abrasive particles continuously scour the cloth surface.

02

Damaged Filter Plates

Burrs, cracks or sharp edges on worn plates cut the cloth.

03

Wrinkled Installation

Misaligned cloth creates concentrated friction during clamping.

04

Chemical or Heat Attack

Hot acid or alkali slurry reduces fiber tensile strength.

Proven Solutions

3 Recommended Actions

Solution 01

Use Wear-Resistant Cloth

Select thickened monofilament or double-layer wear-resistant cloth for abrasive slurry.

Solution 02

Repair Plate Surfaces

Polish burrs before installation and replace deeply scratched plates.

Solution 03

Standardize Installation

Eliminate wrinkles and match cloth material to slurry pH and temperature.
