How does the filter press work?

A filter press is a device for liquid-solid separation that separates liquids and solids using pressure filtration on a filter medium, where the slurry is pumped into a filter press and dewatered under pressure. Basically every filter press is Designed according to the volume and type of slurry that needs to be dewatered. Hangzhou Weicheng Filter Press Co., Ltd. is a trusted manufacturer in the industry, offering a variety of filter press types and capacities to meet specific application needs for trouble-free, economical dewatering .

The 4 main parts of a filter press include frame, filter plate, manifold and filter cloth, which are the key components in the operation of a filter press. How a filter press works. Simply put, the slurry is pumped into the filter press, and The solids are evenly distributed during the filling cycle, the solids accumulate on the filter cloth, form a filter cake in the void volume of the filter plate, the filtrate exits the filter plate through the port, and the clean water drains out of the sides of the plate.

A filter press is a pressure filtration method, so when the filter press feed pump creates pressure, solids form in the chamber until they are completely filled with solids, forming a filter cake. The cycle is complete and the filter cake is ready to release. In many high volume In the filter press, fast automatic operation is adopted to speed up the cycle time.

Filter presses can be manufactured in various sizes and are widely used in industries such as food and beverage processing, chemical manufacturing, mining, power generation, asphalt and cement production, steel plants and municipal plants. Hangzhou Weicheng Filter Press Co., Ltd. on-site guides the overall design, filtration capacity, number of chambers, filter plate size, structural materials and other functional systems can also be customized and adjusted, cloth cleaning system, drip tray, shield, filter press The design of the filter depends on many factors such as filtration cycle time, desired cake dryness, cloth life, whether manual or automatic switching is required, and many other factors.

Design innovation for reliable, efficient solid-liquid separation. Improve safety and reduce operating costs, with fewer components. Pressure filter equipment lasts longer. Fast separation time improves processing efficiency, with separation cycle times completed within 15 to 20 minutes , Compared with traditional hydraulic presses, the processing time is reduced by up to 10 minutes.
