Filter Belt for Tower Press — Bolian Filter Belt

In the field of solid-liquid separation, tower press filters are widely used for their high level of automation, continuous operation, and excellent dewatering performance. As the core filtration component, the filter belt (also known as the vertical press filter cloth) directly determines the efficiency and stability of the filtration process.


I. Key Roles of the Filter Belt in Tower Press Filters

The tower press filter cloth is arranged in a “Z” pattern between the filter plates. It performs vital functions throughout the filtration cycle:

Filtration Stage (Sludge Feed): The feed material is pumped in.If the filter cloth is not properly selected, it will be unable to effectively intercept solid particles, reducing filtration efficiency.


Diaphragm Pressing Stage: The filter cloth endures high pressure and therefore must have low elongation and high mechanical strength.


Cake Discharge Stage: After drying, the plate pack opens, and the cloth drive system operates, discharging the filter cake from both sides. The cloth is then cleaned by dual-side washing before starting the next cycle. The surface must be smooth for easy cake release and cleaning efficiency.

II. Balancing Air Permeability and Filtration Performance

Air permeability is a critical parameter affecting both filtration efficiency and particle retention.

High air permeability improves filtration speed but lowers particle retention.


Low air permeability achieves finer separation but extends the filtration cycle.

Bolian provides tailored filter cloth solutions to match customer needs and applications, helping to:


Improve filtration capacity;

Reduce clogging risks;

Enhance overall equipment performance.


III. High-Quality Materials and Precision Manufacturing

Bolian’s filter belts are available in polyester, polypropylene, nonwoven, and modified materials, suitable for various tower press filters such as Larox, Roxia, and Pneumapress.

The filter belt undergoes calendering and heat-setting processes to effectively control shrinkage and elongation, ensuring dimensional stability. The products feature excellent mechanical durability, easy cleaning, and precise filtration up to 3–5 μm.

IV. Typical Application Fields

Bolian tower press filter belts are widely used in:

Mining Industry: Tailings dewatering, copper and nickel mining


Food Processing: Modified starch production


Chemical Production: Alumina, catalyst manufacturing, and acid leaching extraction


V. Conclusion

With superior material properties and advanced manufacturing, Bolian tower press filter belts deliver efficient and stable solid-liquid separation performance. They help customers improve filtration efficiency, reduce energy costs, and ensure long-term equipment reliability—making them the ideal choice for modern tower press filter systems.
