Ceramic Slip Press Filtration Solutions
Slip press cloths for even, easy-release body cake, in tile, tableware and sanitaryware plants.
Every Plate,
Every Cycle, the Same.
Ceramic body preparation dewaters clay, feldspar and quartz slip into a plastic cake whose moisture must be the same across every plate and every cycle, because every variation shows up later as a reject at pugging, pressing or firing. DFR Technical Textiles weaves heavy-duty slip press cloths that drain evenly, release the cake cleanly and stand up to daily high-pressure cycles.
Even Moisture Across Plates
Cake Peels Off Cleanly
Resists Tearing on Large Plates
Long Life Under Daily Cycles
Three Problems
We Are Asked to Fix.
Uneven cake moisture
How our cloth helps
Uniform, heat-set weaves drain evenly across the whole plate, so every cake leaves the press at the same moisture, with fewer rejects at pugging and pressing.
Cake sticking to the cloth
How our cloth helps
A smooth, calendered face lets the plastic body cake peel off cleanly on opening: faster discharge, and no cake left to dry on the cloth.
Cloth tearing under repeated pressing
How our cloth helps
High-tenacity polyester and PP yarns, with reinforced necks and edges, stand up to daily high-pressure cycles on large plates.
Where DFR
Adds Value.
Our cloths work at the slip press, where body moisture, and the reject rate downstream, is decided.
Ball Milling
Clay, feldspar and quartz are milled to slip.
Slip Storage
Slip is aged and blunged to a stable suspension.
DFR cloth
Slip Press Dewatering
DFR cloths drain evenly for uniform body cake moisture.
Body Cake to Shaping
Cake released cleanly from every plate goes on to the pug mill, casting or pressing.
