Eimco rotary vacuum filters have a long track record in mining, mineral processing, and industrial solid-liquid separation. Since Eimco merged with Dorr-Oliver and is now part of FLSmidth, securing replacement filter cloths through the original channel has become slower and more expensive for many operators. R+F FilterElements manufactures compatible filter media for Eimco disc filters and drum filters — engineered to match your sector geometry and drum specifications.
🔑 Key Takeaways
- R+F FilterElements supplies compatible replacement cloths for Eimco rotary vacuum disc filters and drum filters.
- Sector cloths are manufactured to your existing geometry — snap ring, rope, or sewn attachment.
- Drum covers are available in full-width or segmented formats for all common discharge types.
- The same polymer families as the original equipment: monofilament PET and PP, multifilament options for fine retention.
🏭 Eimco Disc Filters — Aftermarket Cloth Supply
Eimco disc filters are still widely installed in coal, mineral concentrate, and chemical plants. The filter sectors on these machines follow standard vacuum disc filter geometry, but the exact dimensions and fastening details vary between models and installation years. That is why a replacement cloth must be manufactured to the specific sector — not to a generic template.
We supply Eimco-compatible disc filter sectors in monofilament PET and PP, with weave constructions ranging from plain weave (maximum permeability) to twill and satin (improved retention and cake release). Each sector cloth is cut and finished to your exact specifications.
🔧 Eimco Drum Filters — Full Replacement Covers
Eimco drum filters operate across a range of discharge configurations — scraper, string, belt, and roll discharge. The drum cover must match the drum’s circumference, width, and support-grid layout precisely. We manufacture drum covers as continuous wraps or segmented panels, depending on the machine design.
| Filter type | R+F product range | Materials | Fastening options |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eimco disc filter sectors | RF-RD Series | Monofilament PET, PP | Snap ring, caulking rope, sewn |
| Eimco drum filter covers | RF-BF Series | Mono-/multifilament PET, PP, PA | Lacing, clamping bar, overlap |
Rule of thumb: If you have the old cloth, even if it is damaged, keep it as a template — it carries the geometry, seam positions, and fastening details that are hardest to reconstruct from machine drawings alone.
