Filter fabrics and services for filtration in mechanical pulping
Enhanced filter capacity
The filtration challenges that the modern wood-processing industry is facing require sophisticated solutions. With state-of-the-art materials, advanced sustainable production methods and thorough quality control, Valmet is committed to helping its customers to find those solutions.
Operational reliability
Long lifetime
Excellent drainage
An absolutely perfect fit for disc filters
All Valmet Disc Filter Bags – regardless of the material – are designed and made to fit perfectly in demanding applications. To ensure absolute precision we use a computer-controlled laser cutter with coded dimensions. In addition to tight and hardwearing stitches, the fabric edges are non-fraying. These fabrics incorporate everything from a perfect fit to the best materials and a long lifetime – everything you need in a disc filter bag to increase filter capacity.
Corrugated Valmet Disc Filter Bag
The bag developed for all kinds of disc filter sectors. The secret lies in its unique fabric corrugation. This solution increases the sector surface area by 29%, enhancing capacity by 10 to 25%. The corrugation also facilitates filter cake removal.
Key benefits
- high capacity
- high pulp discharge consistency
- improved filtrate quality
- cost effective retrofit
- easy maintenance and service
Corrugated Valmet Disc Filter Bag is suitable for new filters and upgrading. It suits all filter sectors on the market. Either a single segment or several segments can be combined with conventional flat-surface segments in a disc filter, depending on the desired capacity increase.
