Selecting the wrong filter press costs 2-5x in lifetime operating expense. This guide walks through the four key decisions: chamber vs plate-and-frame vs membrane, plate size, automation level, and material.
Reverse osmosis (RO) systems produce 99%+ pure water for filter cloth washing, laboratory dilution, and process makeup. System design, membrane selection, and water recovery explained.
Multi-disc screw presses dewater municipal and industrial sludge continuously to 18-25% dry solids, using 90% less energy than a centrifuge. Operating principle, capacity selection, and limits explained.
Ceramic plunger pumps deliver the 1.6-3.0 MPa pressure required by membrane filter presses, with abrasion resistance that beats steel by 10x. When and how to specify them.
Heavy-duty centrifugal slurry pumps handle the abrasive, high-solids feed conditions of mining filter presses. Hard metal vs rubber-lined construction, wear rates, and selection criteria explained.
Progressing cavity (PC) pumps are the gold standard for moving high-viscosity sludge, shear-sensitive fluids, and high-solids feed into filter presses. Here is how they work and when to specify them.
