Industrial filter cloth used in horizontal vacuum belt filters —— Fluorite Ore Solid-Liquid Separation Solution

In modern mining operations, the efficient and low-energy processing of fluorite ore has consistently been a key focus for enterprises. Fluorite minerals themselves are characterized by fine particle size and high viscosity; therefore, conventional gravity settling or simple centrifugal separation often fail to meet the requirements for efficient separation and low moisture content in the filter cake. Consequently, horizontal vacuum belt filters ( Horizontal Vacuum Belt Filter, HVBF ) has become one of the mainstream devices for solid-liquid separation in fluorite mining. As a core consumable component of the equipment, industrial filter cloth directly determines the filtration efficiency, moisture content of the filter cake, and production stability.

I. Application of Horizontal Vacuum Belt Filter in Fluorite Mining

A horizontal vacuum belt filter is a continuously operating solid-liquid separation device primarily used for the separation of aqueous slurries. Its working principle is:

1. The slurry is evenly distributed. The slurry is evenly spread onto the surface of the filter cloth via the feeding system.
2. Vacuum suction dehydration The filter cloth is drawn by a vacuum system to suck the slurry, causing solid particles to form a filter cake on the filter cloth.
3. Filter cake dewatering and washing The filter cake is detached under the action of a scraper or spray cleaning system, while the surface of the filter cloth is cleaned, preparing it for the next filtration cycle.

For fluorite mines, horizontal vacuum belt filters offer significant advantages:

• Continuous production Avoid downtime and increase throughput;
• Low filter cake moisture content Improve the efficiency of subsequent drying or smelting processes;
• Adapt to fine-particle slurries Ensure the clarity of the filtrate.

However, the selection of filter cloth is crucial. The filter cloth not only has to withstand prolonged vacuum suction and mechanical friction, but also must ensure high air permeability, wear resistance, and chemical corrosion resistance.

II. The Decisive Role of Industrial Filter Cloth in Determining Filtration Performance

Industrial filter cloth is the core consumable material for horizontal vacuum belt filters, and its performance directly affects the efficiency and cost of the entire separation process. The main areas of focus include:

1. Breathability The pore size and structure of the filter cloth determine the rate at which liquid in the slurry passes through; high air permeability can increase the filtration speed.
2. Mechanical strength The filter cloth must withstand the weight of the filter cake, the friction from the scraper, and the tensile forces generated by continuous operation, ensuring long-term stable performance.
3. Wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant The slurry may contain sulfides, acids, alkalis, or grinding particles; therefore, the filter cloth material must be suitable for complex operating conditions.
4. Filter cake release properties The surface design of the filter cloth directly affects the rate at which the filter cake is released and its moisture content, thereby reducing the costs associated with secondary cleaning or manual handling.

Therefore, high-performance filter cloths not only enhance the separation efficiency of fluorite ore but also reduce equipment maintenance frequency and extend service life.

IV. Case Study on Fluorite Mines

Taking a certain fluorite mining enterprise as an example, this enterprise uses a horizontal vacuum belt filter to process the slurry. In the initial stage, when using conventional filter cloths, the following problems arose:

• The filter cake has a high moisture content, leading to increased drying costs downstream.
• Filter cloths are prone to wear and tear, and frequent replacement increases operating costs.
• The filtrate is cloudy, which affects the efficiency of slurry recovery.

By introducing Xiadis Custom Industrial Filter Cloth Afterward, the company achieved significant improvements:

• The moisture content of the filter cake is reduced by approximately. 15% Save drying energy;
• The filter cloth lifespan has been extended to its original length. 1.5 More than doubled, reducing maintenance costs;
• Improved filtrate clarity and higher recovery rate. 10% The above.

This case clearly demonstrates that selecting high-quality filter cloths and customized solutions can directly enhance mining companies’ production efficiency and reduce costs.

V. Future Development Trends of Industrial Filter Fabrics
