Filter Cloth

Filter Wire Cloth

Filter wire cloth is a durable material consisting of heavy warp wire that’s much stronger than comparable square weave mesh. Marco Specialty Steel is a trusted supplier of all types of wire cloth as well as a filter cloth supplier. It features highly precise geometrical structures that maintain a uniform porosity that greatly exceeds those found in synthetic or fibrous materials. Our filter wire cloth also includes more wires in the shute direction, as opposed to the warp direction, which makes it much easier to clean and enables it to be woven in a wide variety of patterns. Our assortment of fiber cloth products includes plain Dutch, twilled Dutch and reverse plain Dutch weave.

We are also available to fabricate wire cloth to your specific dimensions. So call us today.

    Plain Dutch Weave Wire Cloth Wire-Cloth_Filter Cloth_Plain Dutch

    Plain Dutch weave consists of smaller wires applied in the shute direction that are woven with a larger warp wire. This results in a coarse, compact, firm mesh of superior strength. The openings slant through the cloth in a diagonal direction and are so small that they are invisible to the naked eye.

    This extremely tight mesh is ideally suited for filtration applications, as well as the separation of slurry and liquid materials.

    Wire-Cloth_Fiber Cloth_Twill DutchTwilled Dutch Weave Wire Cloth

    Twilled Dutch weave offers a significant upgrade in strength over plain Dutch weave wire cloth. Twill Dutch actually combines the Dutch and twill weaving process to produce an extremely fine mesh filtering cloth that is created by passing shute wires over and under two warp wires. This process can pack a greater volume of wires into a given area, resulting in finer mesh counts and lower flow than standard Dutch weaves.

    Twilled Dutch weave is capable of filtering materials as fine as two microns in diameter, making it well-suited for various liquid and gas applications.

    Reverse Plain Dutch Weave Wire Cloth

    Reverse plain Dutch weave wire cloth features a larger number of wires in the warp and a smaller number in the shute, which is the opposite of a plain Dutch Wire-Cloth_Filter-Cloth_Reverse Plain Dutchweave. The shute wires are also heavier and feature an extremely tight weaving process, while the warp wires have a smaller diameter and come in contact with one another.

    Reverse plain Dutch weave is ideally suited for solid filtration applications where maintaining mechanical stability is of primary importance, such as those involving heavy-duty cleaning processes, centrifugal filter cake removal or backwashing.
