Caulked and Gasketed Filter Cloth
Caulked and Gasketed recessed chamber filter plates and cloth offer a virtually leak free operation. Caulked and Gasketed filter cloth are an octagon shape with a center feed hole, and double stitched with a caulking cord sewn into the hem (Pictured Above). For instatlation the corded hem is then hammerred into the CGR plate.
Non-Gasketed Filter Cloth
Non-gasketed filter press cloth is rectangular in shape, and extends outside of the plate edges. Non-gasketed filter press cloth is therefore somewhat simpler to install, and replacing is also much easier than C&G cloths. This style of filter cloth is drapped over the plate and fastened with grommets along the outer edge of the plates.
