Filter press, solid-liquid mixed sludge fed by high pressure pumps filtered through filter cloths dressed on filter press plates and thus solid particles accumulate between the filter plates, sludge dewatering process has been carried out and the liquids are removed from the equipment by percolation.
Cloths used in filter press equipment can be made of polypropylene, cotton, chopped fiber or other raw materials according to the physico-chemical properties of the solid-liquid mixture to be filtered. High pressure pumps, air diaphragm pumps and mono pumps feeding material to the filter press can be selected.
The dewatering rate in filter press equipment operates at a higher efficiency than other equipment. Sludge is pumped to the plates by a pump from the sludge inlet. Mud cakes form inside the plates, which gradually solidify.
Empty distances between the plates gradually begin to stick to each other. 7-8 bar max on pressure gauge. reaches, the plates perform the tightening process. Cake unloading can be designed manually or automatically according to system requirements and customer preferences.
Filter press cloths (filter cloth) play an important role in the filtering process. Therefore, fabric selection should be designed in accordance with the relevant sector. In order to prolong the expected life of filter press cloths, they must be washed with pressurized water at regular intervals.
Advantages of Filterpress;
» Fewer parts for easy maintenance.
» Chemical, physical and thermal durability
» Provides high amount of solid matter removal.
» Large processing capacity.
» Long lifetime.
» Low energy consumption.
