Other Details

The highly efficient Automated Advanced Filter Press we manufacture is equipped with features that make the range excellent for ETP-Plants, Granites, Marble & Ceramic Industries, Gypsum, Bentoite, Crystalline Salts, Pigments, Dry precipitates, Sludge generated from Galvanizing Plants containing Chromium, Zinc, Aluminum, Copper, Nickel or Cadmium, and many other applications.

Automatic Filter Press has the following components:

• Plate Shifting & Plate Shaker for Auto cake Discharge

• PLC Based Electrical Control Panel

• Pneumatically Operated Control Valves

• Flow Sensor and Hydraulically Operated Bomb Door Drip Tray

How it works:

• A push button initiates the filtration process. Slurry is pumped into all chambers and cakes are formed as filtration begins to flow

• The end of filtration phase is automated by flow meter which is located on filtrate discharge pipe

• The flow meter indicates the minimum flow rate of filtrate which is strictly related to the end of a cycle, the opening of filter press and the discharging phase

• A plate vibrating device during the discharge phase ensures 100 PCT release of the cake

• A PLC controls the phases and cycle times for all the filter press functions including operation of the ancillary equipment

• Use of the most modern and advanced systems for operator protection and safety
