FILTER PRESS
STANDARD DESIGN AND OPTIONS FOR SHORT LEAD TIME
Operating principleThe plate pack is located between two rigid plates and is opened plate by plate with the plate-shifting device and closed by a hydraulic cylinder.
In the closed position the plates form a solid pack of sealed chambers with two filter cloths between each pair of plates.
The process liquid enters through slurry distribution channels that are formed when the plate pack is closed. The slurry is pumped into all chambers simultaneously to form a filter cake on both sides of the chamber. After filtration is complete, the plate pack opens and the cake is discharged.
The modular design enables customization of standard equipment with optional accessories to meet the specific requirements of each application.
Side bar designThe side bar consist of 800/1000/1250/1500/2000 mm series bars for both chamber filter and membrane filter. The overhead beam is recommended for applications in harsh conditions.
Plate shifter for side barA plastic anti-corrosion chain cover protects the chain against slurry residue and corrosive mater, as well as reduces noise. The variable-speed drive enables the shifter speed and torque to be adjusted.
Plate shifter for overhead beamThe top single-point shifting device helps prevent non-synchronous movement of the side-bar shifter. Using the torque in the overhead beam to control plate shifting helps to prevent corrosion caused by contact with slurry residue. The shifting movement is precise, smooth, and easy to adjust, with reduced wear resulting in longer component lifetime.
Hydraulic power unit (HPU)The hydraulic power unit (HPU) is the main power system of the filter press, and can be either standardized or customized according to requirements. The HPU is reliable and easy to maintain.
