It is a filtration system that helps separate solid materials formed due to filter press, industrial wastewater treatment plants and other manufacturing processes, their routine removal, and the separation of solids and liquids by means of cloths. Filter press plates are used in filter presses, that is, in filtration processes. So, what is the filter press plate, what does it do?
What is Filter Press Plate?
Filter press plates used in filtration processes form the filtering unit where solid – liquid separation is performed. The aim is to separate the materials such as sand and sludge, which occur in the waste water treatment systems, from the facilities with the filter press. Filter presses, known as sludge treatment mechanism or dewatering machine, have a wide range of uses. The filter press used in fabrication is used in environmental engineering.
The filter press plates used in the filtration processes form the filtration chamber where solid and liquid separation is carried out. Filter press plates perform belt-liquid separation both smoothly and quickly even at high pressure and flow rates.
Filter press plates undergo many changes. These changes allow filter press plates to become what they are today. Filter press plates were used in the form of full and empty plates in the 1800s. Chamber type filter plates were manufactured by German engineers in the 1900s, following the filter press plates that are used in sludge dewatering areas.
What Does a Filter Press Plate Do?
As a result of the compression of the filter press plate with hydraulic pressure, solid and liquid materials are separated. The solid materials that are located between the plates and accumulated are thrown out by opening the chamber.
Features of Filter Press Plate
The filter press plate made of 100% polypropylene, with its high chemical resistance and durability up to 16 bar pressure, offers its users long-lasting use and unmatched filtration.
Starting from 250×250 millimeters, filter press plates and plate accessories with every feature in 500×500 millimeters, 630×630 millimeters, 800×800 millimeters and 1000×1000 millimeters are offered to customers in the fastest way. Eksen Arıtma meets all kinds of user demands such as open or closed discharge plate, fed from the center, corner or from above, with its modern manufacturing facilities.
In standard applications, filter press plates are produced from polypropylene material. They are mid-fed and side-discharged plates. Plates with different materials and cake thicknesses are also produced upon request.
Filter Press Plate Types
There are varieties of filter press plates according to their strength and privileges. The filter press is divided into 3 sections depending on the plate operation feature. These sections are as follows
Automatic Filter Press
They are the easiest filter presses in terms of use. It performs plate transport or cake discharge processes automatically.
Semi-Automatic Filter Press
These are the systems in which the plates are transported by the operator, but the hydraulic pistons are driven by electric motors.
Manual Filter Press
Plate transport and hydraulic piston are carried by the operator.
