While
the numerous styles of filter presses work in different ways, they all function
under similar principles. Slurries of water assorted with solids are pumped
into the press by the use of a feeding pump. Once inside the press, pressure
from a centrifugal pump or comparable device pushes the slurry through chambers
that are made of filter plates. This eliminates impurities from the water as the
filter cakes of solids are built up on the machine’s filters. Once the chambers
of a Vacuum disc
filter are full, its filtration cycle is whole, and the machine starts
to release the filter cakes. These cakes are simply removed, allowing you to
filter the water at high efficiency. In filter presses, fast-action automatic
plate shifters are used to help with cake removal and cycle time. In harsh
environments where nonstop operation is required like mining procedures or
chemical manufacturing plants, a fully automatic filter press design is wanted
to handle the full workload. To get the finest performance out of the filter
press, the cloth of that filter should be exactly designed for your application
and for the types of solids which you are filtering.
The
following can be modified to fit your discrete needs:
·
The Machine designs
·
Best Filtration capacity
·
The Plate size and the number of chambers
In
addition to these, you can also use extra systems such as cloth washing schemes,
and cake shields to increase filter press performance & functionality. Eventually,
each filter press should be calculated based on the expected volume and the type
of slurry that it will be handling on. Since all the filter presses work using high
pressure, the equipment that increases the pressure through the means of high-pressure
technology is great for enhancing your filter press system.
