In filter presses, three different types of filter plates are used: solid-empty plates, membrane plates, and chamber plates. These plates are known to create the filtration unit where solid-liquid separation is carried out in many filtration applications. The choice of filter press plates varies based on the need, the advantages they offer, and the specific industry.
Eksen Arıtma plates undergo various durability tests depending on usage conditions before they are presented to customers. Chamber plates are used in easy applications, while frame + plates and membrane plates are preferred for rapid and dry cake collection. Eksen Arıtma plates are made of 100% polypropylene material, making them sturdy, long-lasting, and resistant to wear. They also provide easy operation and maintenance.
Filter Press Plates
In a filter press system, plates are necessary for the dewatering process, reducing the water content in solid material. During this process, chemicals are added to the slurry. Through this substance, the water content in the slurry is reduced, and the solid content is increased while reducing the volume it occupies.
Utilized in the filtration process, filter press plates create the filtration section where solid-liquid separations are carried out. Filtration occurs as the solid-liquid mixture is separated through cloths on the filter press plates. It operates based on expelling the liquid material from the mechanism. If necessary, minor adjustments can be made to the filter press plates, allowing for modifications in separation and dewatering processes.
Filter press plates find frequent application in various industries. The usage areas of filter press plates include the chemical industry, businesses involved in oil filtration, solid-liquid treatment facilities, the food sector, marble production factories, paper, and recycling industries, among others.
Chamber Plate Features
Among the various types of filter press plates, the chamber-type press plate is the most commonly used variety. It utilizes hydraulic power to fill the volumetric void created between the other plates, taking advantage of the pumping force to separate the liquid material from the solid. Chamber-type filter press plates are frequently employed in facilities such as marble processing, treatment plants, and zinc phosphate-coating mining facilities in their filter press compartments.
