Plate frame filter press is a kind of intermittent solid-liquid separation equipment, which is composed of filter plate and filter frame to form a filter chamber. Under the pressure of the feed pump, the material liquid is sent to each filter chamber and the solid and liquid are separated by the filter medium.
Compared with other solid-liquid separation equipment, the mud cake filtered by the plate and frame filter press has a higher solid content and excellent separation effect.
The equipment is widely used in chemical industry, dyestuff, petroleum, ceramics, pharmaceutical, sugar, starch, paint, metallurgy and sewage treatment, etc. It has the advantages of good separation effect, wide application range, simple operation and low investment, etc. In particular, the separation of sticky and fine materials has incomparable advantages.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q
How does a plate and frame filter press operate?
Under the pressure of a feeding pump, the mixed liquid is forced into the filter chambers formed by the filter plates and frames. The solids are captured by the filter medium (filter cloth) to form filter cakes, while the clear liquid passes through as filtrate.
Q
What material is used for the filter plates?
The filter plates and frames are molded from reinforced polypropylene using patented technology. This gives them high strength, low weight, excellent corrosion resistance against acids/alkalis, and makes them non-toxic and odorless.
Q
What is the maximum pressure capability of this machine?
The system utilizes a hydraulic clamping mechanism with a maximum locking pressure of 25MPa. The maximum working filtration pressure is 0.6MPa, which optimalizes the cake formation and separation speed.
Q
Which industries are these filter presses suitable for?
They are highly versatile and widely used in chemical processing, petroleum, ceramics, pharmaceuticals, wastewater treatment, metallurgy, food starch, sugar, paint, and dyestuff manufacturing.
Q
Does the system offer custom sizing configurations?
Yes, our production accommodates different sizing scopes, offering a total filtration area ranging from 0.4 square meters up to 100 square meters depending on the application needs.
Q
Why choose a plate and frame filter press over other solid-liquid separators?
Compared to other solutions, this configuration achieves much higher solid concentration in the filtered cakes. It has significant performance advantages when processing sticky, high-viscosity, and ultra-fine raw materials.
