RF-PLF Series — Pressure Leaf Filter Fabrics

Custom-fabricated filter cloths and leaf bags for vertical and horizontal pressure leaf filters. Precision retention for edible oil dewaxing, chemical clarification, and catalyst recovery.

Series Overview

Pressure leaf filters use stacked filter elements (“leaves”) immersed in a pressure vessel. The filter cloth or bag covers each leaf, capturing solids as liquid passes through under pressure. This design is widely used for polishing, clarification, and pre-coat filtration where clear filtrate and consistent retention are essential.

The RF-PLF Series provides precision-tailored cloths and bags that fit your specific leaf dimensions, OEM model, and application requirements. We match material, weave, and retention rating to your process chemistry and target particle size.

Key Features

Defined Pore Size

Controlled weave structures deliver consistent particle retention from leaf to leaf and batch to batch. No bypass, no turbidity spikes.

Exact Leaf Fit

Every bag or cloth is cut and sewn to your specific leaf dimensions and frame type. Tight fit eliminates wrinkles and bypass channels.

Pre-Coat Compatible

Smooth fabric surfaces support pre-coat (DE, perlite, cellulose) build-up for polishing filtration. Uniform cake formation across the leaf.

Clean Discharge

Easy-release surfaces and monofilament constructions ensure spent pre-coat or cake releases cleanly during blow-down or vibration.

Reinforced Edges

High-stress areas around the manifold connection and leaf frame are reinforced to prevent premature failure and extend cloth life.

OEM Compatibility

We supply leaf bags and cloths for all major PLF manufacturers including Filtration Group, Sparkler, Eaton, and others.
