Advantages
The Plate and Frame Filter Press offers several significant advantages. Firstly, it provides high filtration efficiency, enabling effective separation of solids and liquids in various slurries. This results in a high solid content in the filtered cake, which is beneficial for reducing waste volume and facilitating subsequent disposal or utilization. Secondly, it has a wide range of adaptability, capable of handling different types of materials, from municipal sewage sludge to industrial slurries with various viscosities and particle sizes. Moreover, the operation is relatively simple; with automated control options available, it can be easily operated and monitored, reducing the need for extensive manual intervention. Additionally, it is durable, with robust construction that ensures a long service life even under continuous operation in demanding industrial environments.
Detailed Features
In terms of detailed features, the machine consists of a series of plates and frames alternately arranged. The plates have filter surfaces, and when pressed together, they form chambers for filtration. The filter cloth, placed between the plates and frames, acts as the medium for solid - liquid separation. It is equipped with a hydraulic pressing system that ensures a tight seal between the plates and frames, preventing leakage during the filtration process. The machine also has a convenient cake discharge mechanism; after filtration, the plates can be easily opened to remove the solid cake. Some models come with advanced control systems that allow for precise adjustment of filtration pressure and cycle time, optimizing the filtration process for different materials.
Application Range
This filter press has a broad application range. In the municipal sector, it is widely used in sewage treatment plants to dewater sewage sludge, reducing the sludge volume for landfill or further treatment. In industry, it is essential in sectors such as mining, where it processes ore slurries to recover valuable solids and clarify liquids. It is also used in the chemical industry for filtering various chemical slurries, in the food and beverage industry for processing products like fruit juices and vegetable oils, and in the pharmaceutical industry for purifying pharmaceutical solutions. Additionally, it finds use in environmental protection projects for treating industrial wastewater to meet discharge standards
