Understanding Filter Cloth: Materials, Structure, and Maintenance

Filter Cloth Material: There are various types of filter cloth materials, such as cotton, polypropylene, polyester, nylon, fiberglass, etc. Different materials of filter cloth have different filtration performance, abrasion resistance, and corrosion resistance.

Filter Cloth Structure: The structure of filter cloth includes plain weave, twill weave, knitted fabric, non-woven fabric, etc. The structure of filter cloth affects the filtration efficiency and the service life of the filter cloth.

Filtration Accuracy: The filtration accuracy of filter cloth is indicated by mesh count. The higher the mesh count, the smaller the pore size, and the better the filtration efficiency. However, filter cloth with excessively high mesh count is prone to clogging, affecting filtration efficiency.

Thickness and Weight of Filter Cloth: The thickness and weight of filter cloth affect its strength, abrasion resistance, and other properties. Generally, filter cloth with greater thickness and heavier weight has a longer service life.

Cleaning and Maintenance of Filter Cloth: Filter cloth accumulates dirt during use, affecting its filtration efficiency. Regular cleaning of filter cloth can restore its filtration performance. Cleaning methods include water washing, chemical cleaning, heat treatment, etc.
