Woven Filter Cloth – Plain Dutch, Twill Dutch & Reverse Dutch Weave Cloth

Woven filter cloth, also known as industrial metal filter cloth, generally is manufactured with closely spaced wires to offer enhanced mechanical strength for industrial filtration. We offer a full range of industrial metal filter cloth in plain dutch, twill dutch and reverse dutch weave. With filter rating ranges from 5 μm to 400 μm, our woven filter clothes are produced in a wide combinations of materials, wire diameters and opening sizes to adapt to different filtration demands. It is widely used in various filtration applications, such as filter elements, melt & polymer filters and extruder filters.

Weave Types

Plain Dutch Weave

This simple dutch weave is the most common filter cloth. Generally, the diameter of warp wire is larger than the weft wire. Warp and weft wires are interwoven closely together at set intervals. It is ideally suited for filtration applications, as well as the separation of slurry and liquid materials.

Twill Dutch Weave

This weave type offers a significant upgrade in strength over plain dutch weave wire cloth. It actually combines the Dutch and twill weaving process to produce an extremely fine mesh filtering cloth that is created by passing weft wires over and under two warp wires. As a result, it is suitable for various liquid and gas filtration applications.

Reverse Dutch Weave

This weave type is in a reverse of the plain dutch weave wire arrangement. The diameter of warp wire is smaller than the weft wire. Warp and weft wires are interwoven closely together at set intervals. It is well-suited for high pressure vertical and horizontal filter leaf applications where backwashing and filter cake removal are important.

3-Heddle Twill Dutch Weave

Similar like 3-heddle weave, this type of weave has a larger diameter of warp wire than the weft wire. Besides, weft wires are closely arranged, leaving no gaps between weft wires. As a result, it is suitable for filtration applications that require high filtration accuracy and heavy load bearing capacity.

Glossary
  • Filter cloth – Wire mesh used for filtering and straining
  • Filter media – A porous material for separating suspended particulate matter from fluid.
  • Filter rating – The diameter of the largest hard spherical particle that will pass through a filter under specified test conditions.
  • Cloth thickness – Overall thickness of the filter cloth, nominally estimated by adding the wrap wire diameter plus two times the weft wire diameter.
  • Filtration – The process of clarifying a fluid or gaseous liquid by the removal of solid particles.
  • Filter cake – Material that is retained on the filter cloth during processing.
  • Mesh – The number of openings per lineal inch.
  • Diameter – The thickness of the wire before weaving
  • Warp – All wires running lengthwise of the cloth as woven
  • Weft – All wires running across the cloth as woven
  • Type of weave – Way in which the warp and weft wires cross each other.
  • Dutch weave – Wire mesh or wire cloth with wrap wires larger than the weft wires.
  • Twill dutch weave – Similar to plain dutch weave, except that the weave pattern is twill, that is a double layer of weft wires.
  • Reverse dutch weave – The same weave as plain dutch, except that the warp and weft wires are reversed, that is, the warp wires have a smaller diameter than the weft wires.
