FILTER PRESS
Filter presses consist of a series of either vertically or horizontally designed chambers arranged in parallel produced by either stacking
flush plates of belts with distance frames separating them, or stacking a series of recessed plates, each plate or belt carrying a filter
cloth or other suitable filter medium. The stack of plates is generally compressed by a hand wheel, positive electromechanical or
electro hydraulic pressure, the filter cloth serving as a gasket between individual chambers.

Filter presses of this design have proved very successful for dewatering applications in such diverse industries as concentrate
processing, industrial minerals, metallurgical processing, chemicals processing, food and pharmaceutical industries and in waste
processing and effluent treatment.

TYPICAL OPERATION
In operation, when the process of filtration is started, all the chambers in the system close simultaneously.

Slurry is then pumped into all chambers and cakes are formed as filtrate begins to flow through.
High pressure water is then pumped behind the diaphragms in the chambers causing the cake to be squeezed further.
If washing is required the diaphragms can be drained of high pressure water and wash water pumped in on top of the cake.
High pressure water then fills all the diaphragms again squeezing the wash water through the cake that lies flat in the chambers.
Compressed air is then blown through cakes in all chambers at the same time for air drying.
Pumping pressure progressively builds up to compensate for the loss of flow rate until eventually the cake is fully formed and filtrate
flow is negligible.
The press is then ready to discharge, which is performed by separating the plates and allowing the cake to drop out.
If necessary, cake removal may be initiated by mechanical scrapers.
The press is then re-closed ready for the next cycle.
For drainage the filter plates may be formed with vertical grooves, corrugations, pyramid surfaces, and other configurations.
