A filter press is equipment used for filtration / separation
processes, specifically in solid/liquid separation using the
principle of pressurisation driven by a feed pump. The filter press is used in
fixed-volume and batch operations, which
means that the operation must be stopped to discharge the filter cake before the next batch can be started. The major
components of a filter press are the structure, filter plates and a closing
device. The structure holds the filter plates pack together while pressure is
being developed inside the filtration chamber. The chamber however can only hold a
specific volume of solids.
Filter presses are highly
efficient, require little maintenance and operational expense and are a cost
effective solution for many filtration projects.
