Filtration components for manufacturers of water and wastewater equipment
Pile cloth media, filter plates and custom filter media for builders of disc filters, cloth filters and sludge dewatering systems.
Manufacturers of water and wastewater treatment equipment need filtration components that perform reliably over long operating periods — with changing loads, biological activity and regular backwashing. R+F FilterElements develops and supplies filter media and components for these systems: from pile cloth media for disc and drum filters to filter plates for sludge dewatering — as standard or developed specifically for your machine.
Typical OEM applications
Where our components are used in water and wastewater equipment.
Disc and drum filters
Pile cloth media for tertiary filtration and effluent polishing.
Cloth filtration systems
Filter cloths and media matched to the backwash concept of the system.
Sludge dewatering
Filter plates and frames for chamber filter presses.
Process water treatment
Filter cartridges and elements for process and service water.
What matters in water and wastewater equipment
- Stable separation performance with fluctuating solids loads.
- Effective backwashing and regeneration over long periods.
- Resistance to biological activity and cleaning chemicals.
- Mechanical durability of the medium under continuous operation.
- Reproducible quality for series supply to your installed base.
Custom media for your system
Pile height, fibre fineness, backing and fastening can be developed to suit your filter design and backwash system. Our anonymised case study shows how a custom-developed pile cloth medium became an integral component of a filtration system.
Scope
Development, prototypes and series production are handled per project. Minimum quantities are clarified on request.
Frequently asked questions
Can you develop pile cloth media for our filter design?
Yes. Pile structure, fibre, backing and fastening can be developed for your filter design and backwash concept.
Do you also supply filter plates to manufacturers of dewatering systems?
Yes. Filter plates and frames for chamber filter presses are available in the dimensions of your press.
Can you supply replacement media for our installed base?
Yes. Series supply of approved media and components, including for your service and spare-parts business, is agreed per project.
