Filterpress

 

 

Filterpresses have been around for many years and are used mainly for dewatering waste sludge. Filterpresses consist of a head and follower contained between a pack of vertical rectangular plates supported by side or overhead beams. The follower moves along the beams and presses the plates into the stationary head via a hydraulic or mechanical mechanism. Feed and filtrate pipes are connected to the head. Each plate has a filter cloth on each side and form chambers when pressed together. The feed port passes through the center of the entire press. They are constructed of shuttle shifters that separate the plates one after another for cake discharge, shakers that vibrate the plates to assist in cake discharge, and cloth showers for cloth washing
