Introduction of plate filter press

The plate filter press, also called chamber filter press, plate and frame filter press is some industries’ most commonly used pressure filter machine. By applying a certain pressure between filter plates, this batch-operated filter makes it possible to produce filter cakes that reach the desired moisture.

It is an intermittent solid-liquid separation equipment. It is commonly used for concentrate dehydration, tailings dry discharge, and sludge treatment. It is especially suitable for processing sticky and fine materials, such as kaolin, activated sludge, etc. It can dehydrate slurry with a moisture content of 80%-95% to 30%-60%, and the moisture content of the finished filter cake can reach the dry pile standard. The plate and frame filter press achieves efficient solid-liquid separation through high-pressure mechanical extrusion. It has the advantages of thorough dehydration, strong adaptability, and low cost. It is a key dehydration equipment in the mining, chemical, and environmental protection fields.
When your investment is limited and while can’t afford a more expensive continuous pressure or vacuum filter, or your filter capacity is rather small, the filter press could be the best choice when choosing a filter.

Working principle of Plate Filter Press

The plate and frame filter press consists of chambers arranged alternately with filter plates and frames. The feed pump hydraulically pumps the suspension into the filter chamber, and the filter residue is formed on the filter cloth until the filter chamber is filled to form a filter cake. The filtrate passes through the filter cloth and flows along the groove of the filter plate to the channel of the outlet hole below, where it is discharged in a concentrated manner. After the filtration, the filter residue can be washed with clean water. After washing, sometimes compressed air is introduced to remove the remaining washing liquid. Then open the filter press to remove the filter residue and clean the filter cloth. Press the plate and frame again to start the next working cycle.
