Screen & Filter Belts

Filtering the Future: Advanced Screen and Filter Belt Technology

Engineered for Efficiency and Durability

Screen and Filter Belts are highly specialized conveyor belts designed to meet the needs of applications requiring filtering, screening, and separation of materials. Constructed with a mesh-like structure, these belts allow fluids or smaller particles to pass through while retaining larger solids. This design ensures precision, efficiency, and durability for critical processes in demanding industries.

Features of Screen and Filter Belts

Permeable Design

Mesh construction enables fluid or air flow for dewatering, drying, and filtration applications.

Custom Fabrication

Available in various mesh sizes, materials, and edge reinforcements to suit specific applications.

Durability

Made from high-strength materials like polyester, stainless steel, or specialized polymers, ensuring resistance to harsh environments, high temperatures, and abrasives.

Ease of Maintenance

Clog-resistant design allows for easy cleaning and maintenance, improving longevity and reliability.

We offer a variety of belt types of different designs that are suitable for vacuum, fluff pulp, dewatering, and solid/liquid separation.

  • Different weave styles for optimal combination of strength, air permeability and cake release
  • Some are co-extruded Poly/PTFE for better release characteristics
  • Coated edges for a long and trouble-free service life
  • Woven endless seams or metal clipper for easy installation of the belt
  • Polyester Linear Screen
  • Vacuum Filter, Woven Press, Dryer Fabrics
  • Excellent Stability and Good Wear Resistance
  • Woven Endless Seams or Metal Clipper Laced
