Q: How do you select the proper fabric?
With competitive price and timely delivery, BRIGHT sincerely hope to be your supplier and partner.
Choosing the correct fabric depends on a number of factors, including your process application, slurry composition, and the type of press you’re using. The weave, fiber type, and finishing treatments all play a role in how efficiently solids are separated from liquids. It’s important to match the material and design to your specific needs.

Q: How do I know when to replace the media in my filter press?
If your press is no longer producing a solid cake, or you notice a drop in pressure despite regular cleaning, it might be time for a change. Over time, particles can become deeply embedded in the fabric, reducing permeability to the point where even chemical cleaning won’t help. Likewise, if you’re seeing impurities in the filtrate or the fabric appears stretched or warped, it may be too porous to function effectively. These are strong signs that replacement is needed.
Q: How long will will they last?
Its lifespan varies based on operating conditions. Exposure to harsh chemicals, abrasive slurries, or high cycle counts can all reduce durability. Regular cleaning and routine inspections can help extend performance and avoid unplanned downtime.

Q: What are head cloths, intermediate cloths, and tail cloths?
Head Cloth: Usually a single-panel cloth with a center hole, attached to the head filter plate. Other configurations include drape-over and barrel-neck cloths. (Gasketed cloth shown).

Intermediate Cloths: These constitute the majority of the cloths in the filter press and are attached to the intermediate filter plates between the head plate and the tail plate. (Gasketed cloth shown).
Tail Cloth: This is the last cloth in the plate stack – a single-panel cloth without a hole, attached to the tail filter plate, may be a drape-over cloth design. (Gasketed cloth shown).
Q: What does cloth blinding mean?
When a cloth’s porosity is hindered, and the cloth no longer allows the filtrate to flow.
Q: What is the difference between CGR and NG filter plates?
“CGR” is an acronym for “Caulked, Gasketed, Recessed chamber.” CGR plates should provide a virtually leak-proof filter press. Cloths for these plates are octagon shaped, with a caulking rope or cord sewn into the edge of the cloth. “NG” means “Non-Gasketed.” The NG cloth is faster and simpler to install, though the tradeoff is that occasionally some dripping can happen when using NG cloths.
Q: How do you install ?
Filter cloth life is shortened by mechanical damage which may be caused by chemical attack, mechanical abrasion, or both. Cloth life is also shortened when the material being filtered clogs or blinds the filter cloths, impacting porosity and no longer allowing the filtrate to properly flow.
There are many factors affecting cloth performance including:
Even filter cloth that is the correct design for your operating conditions will eventually have to be replaced. Timeframes can vary significantly depending upon the aforementioned factors.
