Sewing Department

Met-Chem sewing department is a custom cut and sew shop. We have a large sewing factory on our premises to make any type of filter bag, Filter Press Cloths or Filter Media, to your specifications. Applications include liquid, air or gas. Our deliveries are always within a few days since we stock many of the textiles required for these applications.

With having an in-house sewing department, this allows us to ship smaller orders in 1 day. We keep part of our plant available to handle these orders from start to finish.  This includes laying out the fabric, cutting the bags from patterns, sewing and shipping the finished product.  By having trained people in this area to “do the whole job”, we can avoid the production line requirement that large orders face. This enables us to make and ship all of our smaller to medium size bag orders the day they are received or very soon afterward.

Please contact sales to discuss your specific needs.

Let Met-Chem Change Your Filter Press Cloths

Met-Chem understands the time constraints put onto manufacturing facilities and there is often not enough time in the day or enough manpower available to perform maintenance such as Replacing the Filter Press Cloths in your filter press.  If you do not have the time or manpower to change your filter press cloths, there are several options available to help with this issue

Option 1

First, a set of plates, as small as 2, can be purchased from Met-Chem. This will allow you to swap out old plates with these new plates 2 at a time.  This will allow you to take your time to change these two cloths.  Once these two are done they can be swapped out for the next two that need done.  This is performed until all the plates have been reclothed.

Option 2

A second option is to send the filter press plates to Met-Chem to have them professionally changed be our Met-Chem Installation Team.  The filter press plates will have their old cloths and gaskets removed.  The plates will be given a thorough acid wash and then power washed.  We will then install the new cloths and new gaskets.  If you are able to have your filter press shutdown for a few days we can quickly perform the work on your plates and get them back ASAP.  If you are not able to be down for a few days then we can provide you with either a full set of new plates or a partial set of filter press plates.  As with option one, we will provide new plates with cloths and gaskets in the quantity that works for your timeline and budget.  Once the new plates are installed in your filter press you will send your old plates to Met-Chem and we will perform the work on your current plates and send back once completed.

Whatever your needs are regarding filter presses Met-Chem has an option that can help.  Please Contact Our Sales Team for assistance

Frazier Permeability Testing

We are also very proud of our testing lab that helps to determine the right fabric for your specific requirements.  We have a Frazier Permeability Tester. This is the industrial method for true testing of a fabric’s porosity to determine it’s filtering characteristics. It enables us to determine the permeability of any filter fabric.  This tests the CFM which is the cubic foot per minute of air permeability at a .5” pressure drop.
