Engineered for Speed. Designed for Safety. Built for Efficiency.

McLanahan Corporation, in partnership with its sister company Diefenbach, proudly introduces the QUICKCHANGE™ Rapid Filter Cloth Changeout System—a patents-pending innovation set to redefine filter press maintenance across industries. Engineered with speed, simplicity and safety in mind, the QUICKCHANGE™ reduces downtime, mitigates safety risks and delivers measurable cost savings through an intuitive design that transforms how filter cloths are replaced and filter plates inspected.

McLanahan’s QUICKCHANGE

Launched in 2025, the system is available through McLanahan, Diefenbach and Eagle Iron Works.

Innovation That Moves Operations Forward
Filter cloth replacement has been a major source of downtime in filter press operations taking 10–20 minutes per cloth using traditional methods. The QUICKCHANGE™ system cuts that time down to just 1–2 minutes, offering:

  • 90% decrease in time spent changing filter cloths
  • 4–6% increase in overall equipment uptime
  • 60–80 hours of downtime saved every three months
  • 30–50% reduction in cloth replacement costs

This system allows filter cloths to glide effortlessly in and out for changeouts, eliminating the need for cranes, overhead lifting systems or labor-intensive manual work.

Engineered for Safety and Simplicity in Mind
By enabling eye-level maintenance, the system eliminates the need for personnel to climb onto or inside the filter press. This reduces risks associated with working at heights or in confined spaces. Operators can now inspect cloths and plates at eye level, streamlining both preventive maintenance and emergency repairs. Since the QUICKCHANGE™ allows for eye-level maintenance it eliminates the need for specialized lifting equipment and reduces the need for permitting and structural infrastructure for overhead cranes.

Built for Durability and Lower Operating Costs
Unlike traditional systems where cloths must be replaced on both sides of the plate when one side is damaged, QUICKCHANGE™ allows for replacement of only the affected side, significantly reducing cloth waste and cost. A specially engineered feed shoe protects high-wear areas around the feed hole, extending filter cloth lifespan and ensuring long-term filtration performance.

Ideal for Multiple Industries
QUICKCHANGE™ is designed for high-efficiency operation across a wide range of applications, including mining and minerals processing, aggregates and quarry operations, C&D recycling, and water treatment and chemical processing.
