Filter Cloth for Filter Press 10 µm – F-TEX Compact+ (3L) for Ultra-Fine Pressure Filtration

Ultra-Fine PP Filter Cloth for Maximum Filtrate Clarity in the Filter Press

The WINKLER F-TEX Compact+ (3L) Filter Cloth is an ultra-fine filter cloth for filter presses, developed for processes where filtrate purity and secure particle retention are the priority. With a 10 µm micron rating, it addresses applications where standard fabrics lead to cloudy filtrate, unstable cycles or extra post-cleaning effort.

The fabric combines very high density with industrial robustness for reproducible results, stable pressure filtration and controlled solid-liquid separation in demanding suspensions.

When Is 10 µm the Right Choice?

F-TEX Compact+ (3L) is especially valuable when one or more of these goals matter most:

• Very clear filtrate with fine solids (high turbidity reduction).
• Maximum particle retention in processes with critical quality requirements.
• Stable filtration despite varying loads or fine particle fractions.
• Minimised solids carryover into downstream systems (pipes, pumps, membranes).

This fine filtration cloth complements our range of filter press accessories. It secures high-purity filtrate in the chemicals & raw materials sector and protects downstream processes from the finest solid particles.

Process Benefit: Dense Fabric, Controlled Permeability

In pressure filtration, the fabric structure determines how reliably fine particles are retained and how stable the filtration resistance stays across the cycle. The F-TEX Compact+ (3L) is extremely densely woven and engineered for controlled air and liquid permeability. This delivers a visibly clearer filtrate while the filter cake builds up in a defined way.

Calendered Surface: Better Cake Release, Less Downtime

Manual cleaning and the time needed for complete cake release are frequent cost drivers in filter press operation. The F-TEX Compact+ is calendered (thermally smoothed). The refined surface reduces the filter cake's tendency to stick and improves cleanability – particularly with fine, pasty or strongly adhesive cakes.

• Faster emptying: The filter cake releases more easily and evenly.
• Less cleaning effort: Shorter interventions, less downtime.
• More consistent cycles: More stable performance over the filter cloth's service life.

Mechanical Stability for Demanding Pressure Filtration

At 620 g/m² fabric weight, the F-TEX Compact+ is among the most robust filter cloths in the ultra-fine segment. Its high fabric weight supports dimensional stability and reduces the risk of fabric fatigue over repeated press cycles – an important factor for process reliability and predictable maintenance intervals.

Your Benefits for B2B Use

• Ultra-fine filtration: 10 µm for the highest filtrate clarity requirements.
• Extremely dense fabric: Very low permeability for fine particle fractions.
• Calendered: Smooth surface for better cake release and less downtime.
• Very robust: 620 g/m² for high mechanical loads in the filter press.
• Chemically resistant: Polypropylene (PP) suited to many industrial media (acid/alkali resistance depending on process).
• Custom sizing available: Matched to your press's plate format, fitting and openings.
