Plate & Frame Filter Press
How It Works
Pressurized slurry enters alternating plate-and-frame chambers lined with high-performance filter cloth. Under hydraulic force (6–8 bar), water passes through the cloth and exits via filtrate channels, while solids form a compact cake against the cloth. Once the cycle completes, the press opens automatically, and the cake is discharged for continuous operation.
