RF-B-FP-SW17-36 Filter Belt: High-Flow Dewatering for Wastewater Treatment and Juice Production

Versatile Filtration for Both Municipal Sludge and Food Processing

The RF-B-FP-SW17-36 filter belt is a versatile technical textile designed for two demanding applications: municipal wastewater treatment and juice production in the food industry. Engineered for use on industrial belt filter presses, this belt offers high mechanical resistance and optimized drainage characteristics. Whether processing biological sludge or fruit mash, the RF-B-FP-SW17-36 ensures efficient thickening, reliable filtration and consistent filtrate clarity.

Key Features and Benefits of the RF-B-FP-SW17-36 Filter Belt

• Precise Twill Weave for Balanced Filtration:
  The Twill weave (Köperbindung) provides a stable surface with effective particle retention while supporting high drainage rates. This makes the belt suitable for fine suspended solids in municipal sludge as well as pulp and fiber residues in juice production.

• High Flow Rate for Efficient Operation:
  With an air permeability of 3,200 l/m²/s, this belt is optimized for strong water removal and fast cycle times. This is especially beneficial for juice production, where continuous throughput and product clarity are essential.

• Robust PET Construction for Long Service Life:
  Made from high-quality Polyester (PET) filaments in both warp and weft, the RF-B-FP-SW17-36 withstands mechanical stress, moisture exposure and the variable conditions found in both wastewater treatment and food processing plants.

• Suitable for Organic Media and Fibrous Materials:
  The belt’s structure makes it particularly suitable for:
  • biological sludge in municipal facilities
  • fruit mash, pulp and fiber separation in juice production
  • filtration of organic-rich wastewater streams

• Multiple Seam Options for Flexible Installation:
  The RF-B-FP-SW17-36 is available with different seam types to match your equipment:
  • Stainless steel Clipper
  • Pin seam
  • Woven endless seam
  These options ensure compatibility with a wide range of belt filter presses in water treatment and food processing environments.

Why Choose the RF-B-FP-SW17-36 for Your Plant?

If your facility requires a filter belt that can perform reliably across different materials — from municipal sludge to organic fruit mash — the RF-B-FP-SW17-36 offers the ideal balance of flow rate, strength and filtration precision. Its Twill construction ensures high filtrate clarity, while its mechanical robustness supports long-term operation with minimal maintenance.
