A filter press is a batch operation, fixed volume piece of equipment ranging from .01-600 ft3 that separates liquids and solids using pressure filtration. A slurry is pumped into the filter press and dewatered under pressure. A filter press can be used for process, water and wastewater treatment in a variety of different industries and applications.
A filter press has four main components:
Frame: The steel frame acts as a clamping device for the filter plates. (A)
Filter Plates: A filter cake forms in the chambers between filter plates. (B)
Manifold: Our standard manifold consists of piping and valves which control the slurry inlet and connect the four corner filtrate discharge ports into a common discharge pipe. (C)
Filter Cloth: A cloth filter that is attached to both sides of a filter plate. Solids build up on cloth to form a filter cake, separating liquids from solids.
