Amafilter — historically known as LFC Lochem — is a well-established manufacturer of vertical and horizontal pressure leaf filter systems, now part of the Filtration Group. Many operators running Amafilter Versis® and other models need replacement filter bags or re-screened leaves at regular intervals. R+F FilterElements manufactures compatible filter media for Amafilter pressure leaf filters: sewn as bags or envelopes to your leaf dimensions, ready for installation.
🔑 Key Takeaways
- R+F FilterElements manufactures compatible replacement filter bags for Amafilter / LFC Lochem pressure leaf filter systems.
- Bags are sewn to your exact leaf dimensions — round, rectangular, or custom profile.
- Materials include monofilament PP and PET for clarity filtration, and multifilament for pre-coat applications.
- Compatible with all common Amafilter models including the Versis® vertical pressure leaf filter range.
🏭 Why Aftermarket Bags for Amafilter Systems?
Amafilter pressure leaf filters are designed for long service life, but the filter bags themselves are consumables that require periodic replacement. When the original supplier’s lead times or pricing do not meet your maintenance schedule, an independent manufacturer can deliver the same fit and performance — often faster and at a better price.
We manufacture filter bags to the exact leaf geometry of your Amafilter unit: diameter, collar dimensions, neck length, and sealing profile. Whether your system uses dry cake discharge, wet cake discharge, or a pre-coat cycle, we match the fabric specification to the process.
