Caulked and Gasketed recessed chamber filter plates and filter 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 installation the corded hem is then hammerred into the CGR plate.
Non-gasketed filter press cloth is rectangular in shape, and extends outside of the plate edges. Non-gasketed filter press filter cloth is therefore somewhat simpler to install, and replacing is also much easier than Caulk & Gasketed cloths. This style of filter cloth is drapped over the plate and fastened with grommets along the outer edge of the plates.
