A Plate and Frame Filter Press Machine , also known as a pressure filter machine, is a type of mechanical solid and liquid separation device commonly used in the filtration process of wastewater and water treatment. It is used to reduce the volume of waste or to separate solids and liquids.
Plate and Frame Filter Press Machine working principle
The working principle of the filter press machine is to feed a suspension into the press and apply hydraulic pressure to the suspension in order to press the liquid and solids apart. The liquid is forced through the filter, leaving the solids behind. The filter press machine consists of a frame, filter plates, a filter cloth, a hydraulic cylinder, and a sludge hopper. The filter plates are arranged in an open frame and form a chamber when closed. The filter cloth is placed on the surface of the filter plates and the sludge hopper is placed below the filter plates. The hydraulic cylinder is used to press the filter plates together in order to squeeze water out of the sludge. The filtered water is then discharged from the outlet port.
Plate and Frame Filter Press Machine Advantages
The filter press machine is simple to operate and has a compact structure, making it easy to install. It is also highly efficient in water treatment and can reduce the concentration of suspended particles and soluble constituents, such as organic matter, suspended solids and total organic carbon. The filter press has many advantages over other kinds of filtration systems. It can filter large volumes of liquid in a short period of time, leaving very clean filtrate with minimal loss of product. Additionally, it is well-suited for automated operation and can reduce the amount of manpower required for the filtration process.
Plate and Frame Filter Press Machine industrial separation applications
The filter press machine can be used in a variety of industries, such as food and beverage, pharmaceutical, paper and pulp. It is suitable for applications such as filtering high temperature liquids, treating process waters, pretreating effluents for chemical recovery and reuse, and so on.
