The invention relates to a vertical cyclic tape filter. The vertical cyclic tape filter comprises a shell, a net chain, a paper pressing disk, a liquid inlet channel, a driving motor, a net chain driving unit, a net chain tensioning mechanism and a cyclic filter tape, wherein the net chain, the paper pressing disk, the liquid inlet channel, the driving motor, the net chain driving unit and the net chain tensioning mechanism are arranged in the shell; the cyclic filter tape is arranged on an outer ring of the net chain in a sleeving manner, is tensioned by a cyclic filter tape tensioning mechanism and is driven by the net chain to move cyclically; a clean liquid cavity is formed in the bottom of the shell and is positioned inside the net chain; the opening size of the clean liquid cavity is matched with the width of a circular arc formed by the net chain. The vertical cycle tape filter is simpler and more convenient to use, and more reasonable in structure; manpower and resources can be effectively saved, and cleaner and pollution-free filter liquid is obtained.
