What a plate filter presses is and how it works?

A plate filter presses is a device used to separate solids from liquids through a filtration process. It is commonly employed in various industrial sectors and production processes to separate solid particles from liquid suspensions.

The filter presses consists of a series of concave plates, a support frame, a network of pipes and channels for mud and water transport, and a range of optional features to optimize its operation.

Thanks to the pressure exerted by a feed pump, the filter press can squeeze the liquid through the filter cloths covering the plates, retaining solid particles inside the chambers, and discharging this dried sludge at the end of the process.

The filtration process in a filter press typically involves the following steps:

1. Feeding the material containing solids and liquids into the filter press.
2. Applying pressure to force the liquid through the filter cloths, thus separating solid particles from the liquid.
3. Collecting clean water through an external channel.
4. Discharging and collecting the dried sludge in cakes.

Filter presses are used in various sectors, such as wastewater treatment, chemical production, the food and pharmaceutical industries, and many other contexts where it is necessary to separate solids from liquids.There are different types of filter presses, including plate and frame filter presses, chamber filter presses, and membrane filter presses, each with its own characteristics.

Dewatered filter cake completely fills each chamber by the end of the filtration cycle. Clamping two filter plates together creates each chamber, with filter cloth encasing the entirety of this cavity. The steel frame aligns and holds the plates which form an interconnected system of chambers, and they each contribute to the overall capacity of the fixed-volume filter press.

Once the liquid makes it beyond the cloth barrier, the plates feature an inner porting system that delivers filtrate to the manifold. Once the even-fill process has concluded, the operator changes the valve configuration on the manifold to end the feed cycle and allow filtrate to exit the press through a single point: the filtrate outlet.
