Filter Cloth by Machine — Machines & OEM Reference
We supply replacement filter cloth for two machine families: rubber-belt horizontal vacuum belt filters, and vertical pressure (tower press) filters. Find your family below, then send us the dimensions.
Independent replacement cloth — not an OEM spare part. Dimensions and construction are confirmed per enquiry. Brand names are used only to identify machine models; whether a cloth fits a machine is confirmed in writing for each enquiry.
Two machine families
Which machine are you running?
Pick the family, not the model. The model matters at quoting time, not at reading time.
Rubber-belt horizontal vacuum belt filter
The cloth rides on a grooved rubber transporter belt and runs continuously, so it is a consumable. Widths in this family commonly reach 4.5–4.8 m; joints are clipper, PAD or spiral with an edge seal.

Vertical pressure filter / tower press
One endless cloth is threaded through the whole plate stack in a zigzag and indexes forward every cycle. Elongation control matters more here than belt width.

Honest boundary
Machines we do not supply cloth for
"Belt filter" is not one machine. Getting this wrong costs you a shutdown, so we say it plainly.
Indexing and tray vacuum filters — BHS BF and Metso Larox RT / Pannevis — work on different cloth mechanics. They are not mapped to our belt range and we do not supply cloth for them.
Alumina plants typically run drum, disc, leaf / Kelly and chamber press filters. Horizontal vacuum belt filtration is not the default route on that flowsheet.

Your machine is not listed?
Brands not listed here can still be enquired about. A cloth is defined by the dimensions and the duty — the nameplate is only the shortcut to them.
