Quick answer: An automatic concentrate filter press dewaters gold, copper, iron and other mineral concentrates to a transportable cake — typically 8–12% moisture — with large plates, membrane squeeze, automatic plate shifting and cake discharge so it can run many short cycles a day. Because the cake is the product, cloth release, low moisture and minimal solids loss to filtrate are the design priorities.
Concentrate Filter Press – Efficient Solution for Mineral Solid-Liquid Separation
- High Dewatering Performance: Optimized plate design and high filtration pressure ensure filter cake moisture content as low as 12–18%, facilitating subsequent transportation and smelting.
- Automated Operation: PLC control enables automatic feeding, compression, plate shifting, cake discharge, and filter cloth cleaning, greatly reducing manual intervention.
- Robust and Durable Structure: The frame is made of thickened carbon steel or stainless steel with multi-layer anti-corrosion treatment for harsh mining environments; filter plate materials are acid and alkali-resistant, and wear-resistant.
- High Adaptability: Widely used for dewatering concentrates of copper, lead-zinc, gold, iron, phosphorus, and other non-ferrous and non-metallic minerals; also suitable for tailings dewatering and industrial wastewater treatment.
- Energy Saving and Consumption Reduction: Optimized hydraulic system and feeding process reduce energy consumption and enhance operational stability and production efficiency.
- Plate Size: 800/1000/1250/1500mm (customizable)
- Filtration Pressure: 0.8–2.0MPa
- Plate Material: Polypropylene / Polymer / Stainless Steel
- Processing Capacity: 2–50 m³/h
- Control Mode: Fully automatic PLC / Hydraulic / Manual
- Introducing a concentrate filter press can significantly reduce concentrate moisture, lower drying and transportation costs, and help enterprises improve metal recovery rates, achieving green production and environmental compliance.

Buyer FAQ
What moisture can a concentrate filter press reach?
Roughly 8–12% for copper and iron concentrate with membrane squeeze and air blow-down, lower for coarse concentrates and higher for very fine or clay-rich ones. A test on your concentrate gives the real number.
How many cycles per day can it run?
Automatic presses with fast plate shifters run 10–30 cycles a day depending on plate count and filtration rate; the number of plates and plate size are chosen to meet your tonnes per day at that cycle rate.
What automation is included?
PLC/HMI control, automatic plate shifting, cake discharge assistance (shakers or drip trays) and optional automatic cloth washing; the level is chosen to match plant staffing and cycle rate.
