Filter press & its working principles | Filter Machines
What is a Filter Press?
A filter press is a piece of equipment used in liquid/solid separation. Specifically, the filter press separates the liquids and solids using pressure filtration, wherein a slurry is pumped into the filter press and is dewatered under pressure. EachĀ filter pressĀ is designed based on the volume and type of slurry that needs to be dewatered.Ā Filter Machines Pvt ltdĀ is a trusted expert in liquid/solid separation and offers a wide range of filter press types and capacities to suit specific application needs for trouble-free, economical dewatering. These include configurations - sidebar automatic, manual overhead, automatic dual overhead beam, stainless steel clad, explosion-proof filter presses, vacuum filter presses, and hand filter presses.
The four main components of a filter press include the frame, filter plates, manifold (piping and valves), andĀ filter cloth, a key ingredient for optimizing filter press operations.
How Does a Filter Press Work?
The working principle of filter presses is that slurry is pumped into the machine such that solids are distributed evenly during the filling cycle. Solids build up on the filter cloth, forming the filter cake; the filtrate exits the filter plates through the corner ports into the manifold, yielding clean filtered water.
Filter presses are a pressure filtration method and as such, as the filter press feed pump builds pressure, solids build within the chambers until they are completely chock-full of solids, forming the cake. Once the chambers are full, the cycle is complete and the filter cakes are ready to be released. At many higher capacity filter presses, fast-action automatic plate shifters are employed, speeding cycle time. Some filter presses are specifically designed for fully automatic, 24-hour operation in harsh environments such as mines or chemical manufacturing plants.
Filter Press Applications
Filter presses can be built in a wide range of sizes, from small, lab-scale 630 MM X 630 MM presses, to those with much larger capacities, such as those with 2000 MM X 2000 MM filter plates. Filter presses are used for liquid/solid separation in an extensive range of industries and applications including:
Food and beverage processing
Chemical manufacturing
Mining
CLAY & MARBLE AND TILES production
