Element. Excellence in Every Part
Filter Cloths.
High-performance Filter Cloth solutions designed for demanding concentration and tailings applications. We offer both standard and application-tailored solutions compatible with the main brands in the mining industry.
As a critical factor in filter performance, the right Filter Cloth directly impacts throughput and operational stability. Element ensures every Filter Cloth is engineered to deliver optimal filtration efficiency and long service life for your specific application.
A wide selection of materials
Standard Fabric Raw Materials
Polypropylene (PP)
+ Outstanding chemical resistance
+ Cost competitive
Polyester (PET)
+ Good thermal resistance
– Weak in alkaline conditions (pH > 11)
Polyamide (PA)
+ Excellent wear resistant
– Weak in acidic conditions (pH < 5)
When we’re picking the perfect fabric for tough, demanding applications, we always look at the bigger picture: the right yarn type, how the fabric is constructed, the weave pattern, and the finishing treatments. All of these play a huge role in making sure it performs at its best, whether that’s handling extreme temperatures, aggressive chemicals, or maximising flow and cake release.
You need something that’s engineered to last and deliver real results. That’s what sets us apart.
YARN TYPES
Monofilament Yarn
Single smooth filaments for excellent cake release and resistance to blinding.
Multifilament Yarn
Multiple fine filaments for superior particle retention and improved filtrate clarity.
Spun (Staple) Yarn
Short fibers spun together, creating a textured surface for versatile woven applications.
Needle Felt (Nonwoven)
Needle-punched fibers offering depth filtration and exceptional filtrate clarity.
WEAVE TYPES
Plain Weave
Rigid structure with good particle retention; prone to blinding.
Twill Weave
Diagonal pattern for better abrasion resistance and flow rates.
Satin Weave
Smooth surface for excellent cleanability, high flow, and easy cake discharge; lower attention.
REINFORCEMENTS
Edge Sealing with Glue
Prevents leaks and fraying along cloth edges.
Seeding Reinforcement
Options include fabric/ plastic rings, and glued reinforcements, among other solutions to resist high pressure and abrasion.
Bottom Fold Protection
Reinforced stitching, velcro securing, or protective strips to prevent cuts and wear on folds.
Double Cloth Neck Design
Added protection against pressure spikes during dewatering.
FINISHINGS
Calendering
Smooths surface for better premeability and cake release.
Heat Setting
Stabilizes fabric for dimensional accuracy and durability.

CHALLENGE.
Improve the service life of filter press cloths under demanding operating conditions while maintaining reliable filtration efficiency and reducing replacement frequency.
SOLUTION.
By carefully assessing the customer’s filtration application and operating conditions, we engineered a filter cloth specifically tailored to their needs. The solution was developed by selecting the optimal yarn, weave structure, and permeability to achieve the required performance.
RESULTS.
- The trial reached 2,255 cycles, exceeding OEM filter cloth performance;
- Reduced replacement frequency and improved operational stability;
- Customer qualified Element as an approved supplier and placed a follow-up order.
