Step 5 - FILTER PRESS CLOTH CONSTRUCTION
Construction of filter cloth assemblies plays an equally important role to the fabric design in achieving optimum performance. A precise fit assures peak performance.
 
Methods of Attachment
There are various methods for fastening cloth. Attachments may be stitched, welded or machine assembled to provide durable constructions. Peg eyelets, cloth castellation & rod suspension are used to carry the cake weight. Side tie eyelets & reinforced holes, keep the cloth flat and positioned correctly.
 
Velcro
Velcro provides a lapping joint, which has superior strength and keeps the cloth aligned correctly throughout the many months of operational life. This attachment is easily repositioned or released for plate inspection or adjustment.

Edge Reinforcing(Banding)
Reinforcing around the filter plate sealing surface and over the stay bosses will increase the mechanical strength of the cloth. Micronics banding material is specifically manufactured with high tensile strength and stability for this application.
 
 CLOTH NECK TYPES
High Performance Rubber NeckHigh Performance Rubber (HPR)
The Micronics patented design uses thermoplastic rubber compounds and a controlled temperature welding system to attach the feed neck to polypropylene filter cloth. This 100% impervious joint guarantees filtration only takes place within the filter chamber. See PDF data sheet
Plastic NeckPlastic Neck (SK)
This new patented product allows rigid, polypropylene, Nylon or Polyester necks to be attached to any fiber type. The benefits of performance are the same as the HPR design but it also allows other fibers to use an impervious design.
Coated NeckRubber Coated Neck
For applications where cloth attachments are desired a coated neck should be selected. This product uses synthetic rubber formulations determined by Micronics to be abrasion resistant and chemically stable. They will always outperform hand applied treatments.
