Filter Cloth
What is filter cloth?
At Newark Wire Cloth, we provide superior filter wire cloth with features that make it the right choice for your next filtration project. Filter wire cloth is a versatile material used in filtration applications. It is made by weaving metal wires together to form a mesh pattern with precise openings. The size of the openings can vary widely, depending on the desired level of filtration. Filter wire cloth is an essential component in a vast array of applications ranging from chemical and food processing to aeronautics and military defense.
Newark filter wire cloth is suited for a number of applications including as filtration, straining, separation of solids, and clear filtration of liquids. Other liquid filtration uses include water treatment, cleaning of fuels and hydraulic fluids, and many other liquid filtration processes.
Our filter wire cloth is engineered with a heavy warp wire, enhancing strength and durability. The geometric precision of our manufacturing process results in a uniform porosity that surpasses synthetic filters. With more wires in the shute direction, our mesh patterns facilitate easy cleaning and are customizable in various materials.
Adhering to strict certifications and standards, Newark Wire Cloth ensures that all products meet the highest benchmarks of quality and are compliant with industry-specific regulations.
Newark Wire Cloth’s commitment to quality and innovation is reflected in our advanced weaving techniques, ensuring that every product not only meets but exceeds the rigorous demands of modern industry. We take pride in our ability to provide superior filter wire cloth, boasting features that position it as the go-to choice for your next filtration project.
Types of Weaves
- Filter Cloth
- Filter Cloth
Plain Dutch Weave
Similar interlacing as in Plain Weave, except the warp wires are larger diameter than the shute wires. The lighter shute wires are driven up close thus forming a dense filtering medium. This weave displays a tapered or wedge-shaped opening.
Twill Dutch
This filter cloth specification technically combines the Twill Weave and Dutch Weave described above. The larger diameter warp wires successively pass over and under the lighter diameter shute wires. Each pass of the shute wires shifts the over and under movement one wire. The shute wires are driven up close, resulting in a tightly woven filter cloth with tapered or wedge shaped openings.
Twill Dutch Double
Very similar to Twill Dutch Weave, but by proper selection of the wire sizes, the shute wires actually overlap each other when driven up tight into position. This permits double the wires per inch in the shute direction. This type of wire cloth is usually considered a Micronic Grade filter cloth.
Stranded
In this type of weave, both the warp and shute wires are made up of separate wires, rather than a single wire. This weave is woven in the twill pattern, producing an exceptionally strong and tight mesh.
