Metal cloth

Metal cloth is the traditional filter medium. It is robust, corrosion and heat resistant and is readily processable. It is characterised by constant openings and pores.

Square weaves offer filter media favourable flow characteristics and are available from 20 µm.

In general, filter cloths are described as cloths with a dutch weave. These are available from a micron rating of 2 µm.

But also atlas weave (flat, easily back-flushable surface) can be a suitable filter medium.

In connection with other filter media, metal cloth is also used as support cloth or for a better flow control as a drainage layer.
