High-performance filter press cloth

for chemicals

Overview
Sefar high-performance filter press cloths are designed for demanding chemical, mining, food and environmental applications. They provide fast dewatering, reliable cake release and clean filtrate to support high-throughput operations.

Key benefits

• Dry cake, easy release
  Special weave designs and finished filter media enable rapid dewatering, dry filter cakes and consistent cake release.
• Clean runs, long life
  Optimised combinations of polymer, filament type and pore size ensure clean filtrate, extended cloth lifetime and stable cycle performance.

The right solution for your filtration challenge
Sefar filter press cloths are engineered for consistent performance. Available as custom-fit single, overhang, barrel-neck, leak-proof and one-piece constructions to match any plate type and process conditions, ensuring long service life and optimal filtration.

Filter media technology
Our range of monofilament and multifilament fabrics is engineered to meet the mechanical and chemical demands of filter press operations. Materials provide precise separation, easy cake release and durable performance.

Fabric types

• SEFAR TETEX MONO® (monofilament)
  High mechanical stability and smooth surface reduce clogging, simplify washing and suit high-throughput continuous operation.
• SEFAR TETEX MULTI® (multifilament)
  Enhanced particle retention and excellent filtrate clarity; flexible structure adapts to complex slurries and fine filtration requirements.

Product configurations & designs

• Single cloth — easy to install and maintain, for fast cycles and large installations.
• Overhang cloth — protects plates, simplifies changes and ensures consistent sealing.
• Barrel neck cloth — precision-formed collar for tight sealing at feed ports to prevent leaks in high-pressure processes.
• One-piece cloths for XXL presses — seamless constructions for large presses used in tailings and heavy mineral service.

Product features

• Efficient filter cake dewatering
  Engineered weaves promote rapid drainage and minimal residual moisture to reduce downstream drying costs.
• Perfect filter cake release
  Surface finishes and fabric constructions ensure easy cake discharge, limit manual cleaning and reduce cloth blinding.
• Filter efficiency
  Nominal cut points available from approx. 5–150 µm to handle a wide range of slurries with precise particle retention.
• Filter capacity
  Optimised permeability and pore distribution enable high throughput and improved cycle times.
• Chemical, mechanical and thermal resistance
  Multiple polymer options meet specific chemical and temperature demands for stable long-term performance.
