Plate And Frame Filter Press

Plate and frame Filter Press is mainly composed of many filter plates and filter frames arranged at intervals. The plate and frame of the plate and frame filter press are mostly made into a square, with small holes at the corner ends, which form channels for the filtration slurry or washing water to circulate after being assembled and pressed. Both sides of the frame are covered with filter cloth, and the empty frame and filter cloth form a space to accommodate the filter slurry and filter cake, and the Filter Plate is used to support the filter cloth and provide a channel for the filtrate to flow out. Grooves are made on both sides of the filter plate, which communicate with the washing water channel and the filter outlet respectively. The filter plate is divided into washing plate and non-washing plate, and its structure and function are different. Each plate and frame filter press has a total number of frames, the number is determined by the production capacity and the solid concentration of the suspension, up to 60. When the number of frames is small, a blind plate can be inserted to cut off the channel for the filter slurry to flow.
