Specification Of Plate And Frame Filter Press 

Edutek Instrumentation Is Manufacturer, Exporter & Supplier Of Plate And Frame Filter Press.

Technical Description :

1. Plate And Frame Filter Presses Are Used In The Beverage Industry, For Example, To Clarify Intermediate Products.
2. A Suspension Of Diatomite And Water (Recommended) Is Prepared In A Stirred Tank. The Stirrer Ensures That The Solid Remains Suspended And Does Not Settle. A Pump Delivers The Suspension Into The Individual Separating Chambers Of The Plate And Frame Filter Press. A Separating Chamber Is Formed By One Filter Frame And Two Filter Plates. The Filter Plates Are Grooved And Covered Over With Filter Cloths. The Filtrate Passes Through The Filter Cloth And Flows Via The Grooves In The Plates Into A Collecting Pipe. The Filtrate Exits The Plate And Frame Filter Press Through The Collecting Pipe And Is Collected In The Filtrate Tank. The Solid Material Is Separated Off At The Filter Cloth, Where It Forms A Growing Filter Cake. As The Filter Cake Becomes Thicker, Its Flow Resistance Also Increases. When The Separating Chamber Is Full, Or A Maximum Pressure Difference Has Been Reached, The Filtration Process Is Ended. The Plates And Frames Of The Plate And Frame Filter Press Are Pulled Apart. The Filter Cake Can Be Removed. For The Next Filtration The Plates And Frames Must Be Pushed Back Together. A Spindle Is Used To Press Them Together. The Press Forces Ensure That The Suspension Does Not Leak From The Contact Points Between The Plates And The Frames, But Is Forced Through The Filter Cloth.
3. The Flow Rate Through The Plate And Frame Filter Press Is Adjusted By A Valve. The Pressure Occurring During Filtration Is Indicated On A Manometer. The Filtrate Tank Is Scaled. This Means A Stopwatch Can Be Used To Measure The Flow Rate. An Included Opacimeter Allows The Solid Concentration Of The Filtrate To Be Determined. A Drying Chamber Is Recommended For Evaluation Of The Experiments.

 

Robust Construction for Diverse Applications

Engineered for durability, the plate and frame filter press features a stable mild steel or stainless steel frame with corrosion-resistant paint, making it suitable for aggressive industrial environments. The selection of polypropylene or cast iron plates ensures longevity, while the robust closure (manual or hydraulic) delivers reliable sealing during filtration.


Efficient Solid-Liquid Separation Process

This filter press is designed for solid-liquid separation in a wide range of industries. Slurry is pumped into the press, where filter cloths and plates efficiently retain solids, producing clear filtrate and a compact filter cake. The thoughtful design ensures easy disassembly, cleaning, and leak-proof operation for maximum productivity.


Flexible Configurations and User-Friendly Features

Available in various models with 1050 plates and filter areas from 540 m, the filter press addresses different processing volumes and applications. Intuitive manual or automatic controls, straightforward maintenance, and a user-focused interface provide convenience and precision in daily operations, whether in food, chemical, or wastewater processing.
