We offer a broad array of filter press sizes to meet your needs.
Plate and frame filter press simple diagram.
A plate and frame filter press is the most fundamental design and may be referred to as a membrane plate filter this type of filter press consists of many alternating plates and frames assembled with the supports of a pair of rails with filter membranes inserted between each plate frame pair.

A filter press consists of a series of chambers containing square or rectangular filter plates supported in a frame.
Filter press is simply a kind of machine which performs filtration separation during its press operation.
The filter cake chambers are formed in either of two ways.
The plate and frame press is the most fundamental design and the oldest type of filter press the design is a skeleton made of metal that holds and clamps the filter plates together to form a pressure chamber.
Filter presses can be built in a wide range of sizes from small lab scale 150 mm presses to those with much larger capacities such as those with 1500 and 2000 mm filter plates.
By mating two recessed chamber plates or by two flush plates with a cake frame much like a picture frame sandwiched in between.
This clamping is done by either an old style wheel crank or more modernly with a hydraulic pump and cylinder either manual or automatic.
The filter is free standing the plate pack being completely clear of the ground and is completely encased in stainless steel sheet.

From our small 250mm 0 2 cuft 5 5l portable pilot filter press all the way to 2000mm 600 cuft 17000l our selection provides the right size filter press for your specific project.
Plate and frame filter press design overview.
The two faces of the filter plate have a drainage surface in the form of ribs grooves or pips to allow filtrate to drain behind the cloth to the drainage.
Once the filter chambers are loaded with slurry the plates are forced together with hydraulic rams that generate.
A metal skeleton holds and clamps the filter plates together to create a chamber which is formed by the flush plate on each side of a frame.

The plate and frame design utilizes a flat solid plate known as a flush plate covered by a filter press cloth with a hollow frame between each plate.
