Plate and Frame Filter Presses are the most basic and oldest type of Filter Press. A metal skeleton holds and locks the filter plates together to build a pressure chamber in the formation. Clamping is accomplished with either an old-fashioned wheel crank or, more recently, a hydraulic pump and cylinder (either manual or automatic). The plates are made of a variety of metals, including cast iron, aluminum, and polymers, the most popular of which is polypro. Before being filtered through the cloth, the slurry is pushed into one or more corner holes and then into each frame. The filtered clean water runs through the solid plate’s drainage system and into one or more corner holes that aren’t used for slurry feed. This clean solution makes its way to the customer’s tanks, drain, or process via discharge pipes. No more slurry can be fed into the filter press once these hollow frames are full with solids, so it’s time to open the press and knock out the solids.

Filter Presses have been the priority of Met-Chem Manufacturing for several years. Filter presses (AKA Plate and Frame) have various advantages. One, specifically, is that such a huge piece of machinery has fewer parts to it.

The 21st century is well equipped with technologies and automation industries. The use of technologies and automation had drastically changed the scenario and performance of the next-generation filter press. The membrane filter press is the most trusted dewatering equipment. The main purpose for this treatment is wastewater applications from industries. A filter paper extracts the liquid from the solid by removing various impurities. A filter press consists of a frame, filter plates, piping and valves, and filter cloth. The filter press will make the separation with the help of technology and applications which is convenient and economical in case of dewatering.
