FrameTrak™
At Clear Edge, we continue to introduce innovative technologies to help optimise your separation process and ensure it is performing at its maximum potential. With FrameTrak™, our team of specialists deliver a step change in technology. Our unique product not only helps to lengthen service life, but also lowers plant operating costs by vastly reducing filter downtime, reducing caustic wash and increasing production output.
FrameTrak™ is an advancement in technology for the removal and re-clothing of traditional caulked and clamped filter cloth panels, suitable for rotary vacuum drum, disc and pan filters. Exclusive to Clear Edge, FrameTrak™ allows a safer and easier method of attaching the filter media to the equipment without the need for caulking rope and tooling that bring with them OH&S concerns.
Traditional caulking methods result in fabric overlap and a reduced filtration surface area. This can lead to higher cake moisture and reduced operational life as a consequence of increased scale build-up. FrameTrak™ panels are custom designed to fit the exact measurements of your equipment, meaning your filtration surface is increased.
Additional Benefits of FrameTrak™

We designed the FrameTrak™ fixing system so that cloth trimming is eliminated, meaning your installation time is vastly reduced.
With standard panels, the process of placing rope into its grove with specialist tools can be frustrating for maintenance staff. Concerns over employee health and safety whilst installing the panels are regularly associated with pan filter re-clothing so Clear Edge have pioneered the solution.
Thanks to the structure of FrameTrak™, there no need to descale between panels with a caustic wash. The panels can be simply washed with water or condensate to remove high pH residue from the cloth.
Unlike conventional filter panels, FrameTrak™ reduces the potential for premature cloth wear by eliminating cloth damage during re-clothing. Long operation life is paramount whilst maintaining a smoother, trouble free filtration process.
