Membran Filtre Presi
Kısaca: Membran filtre presi (diyafram filtre presi) ikinci bir sıkma aşaması ekler: filtrasyondan sonra her plakanın arkasındaki membranlar 0,8–1,6 MPa'ya kadar şişirilir ve keki %15–30 neme kadar sıkar; bu döngü hazneli prese göre %30–50 daha kısadır. Senjie, konsantre ve atık dewatering, kimya, gıda ve ilaç filtrasyonu için 10–800 m² alana sahip 800–2000 mm membran presleri tedarik eder.

Hızlı yanıt: A membrane filter press is a chamber filter press whose plates carry a flexible membrane on each face. After the normal filtration stage, water or compressed air is pumped behind the membranes so they inflate and squeeze the cake, driving out water that filtration pressure alone cannot remove. Compared with a plain chamber press on the same slurry it typically cuts cake moisture by a further 5–15 percentage points and shortens the cycle, at a higher plate cost. Choose it when disposal, drying, transport or product-recovery cost makes every point of moisture worth money.
Öne çıkan rakamlar

- Operation: manual, semi-automatic, or PLC-automatic with plate shifter, cake-drop shaker and cloth washing
How a Membrane Filter Press Works
- Closing. The hydraulic cylinder presses the plate pack together so the cloth edges seal each chamber.
- Feed and filtration. The feed pump fills the chambers at 0.6–1.0 MPa; filtrate passes through the cloth and drains away while the cake builds up on both cloth faces.
- Squeeze. Feeding stops and water or air is pumped behind the membranes at 0.8–1.6 MPa. The membranes inflate, compress the cake evenly over its whole face and press out most of the remaining pore water. Squeeze usually lasts 5–20 minutes.
- Optional core blow and cake wash. Compressed air clears the feed core; wash water can be pushed through the cake while it is held under squeeze, which gives a much more uniform wash than in a plain chamber press.
- Opening and discharge. The squeeze medium is released, the press opens and the plate shifter moves the plates one by one so the cakes drop.
Because the cake is compressed mechanically instead of relying on ever-longer filtration, the press can be opened earlier: the same tonnage needs fewer or smaller presses, or the existing press handles more batches a day.
Membrane vs Chamber vs Plate and Frame Filter Press
| Tip | Cake moisture on the same slurry | Döngü | Plaka maliyeti | Choose when |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Membran | Lowest: typically 5–15 points below a chamber press | Shortest; squeeze replaces the slow tail of filtration | En yüksek | Disposal, drying or freight cost is high; cake must be handled, stored or sold dry; cake washing must be uniform |
| Chamber (recessed plate) | Standart | Longer, filtration only | Standart | General sludge and slurry dewatering where a 60–75% moisture sludge cake or 15–30% mineral cake is acceptable; see the odacıklı filtre presi |
| Plate and frame | Standard, thin cake | Long, manual | En düşük | Small batches, clarification, intact cake removal; see the plakalı ve çerçeveli filtre presi |

Typical Configurations by Plate Size
| Plaka boyutu | Oda başına filtre alanı (yaklaşık) | Tipik oda sayısı | 30 mm'de hazne başına kek hacmi | Tipik görev |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 630 mm | 0,6 m² | 10–40 | yaklaşık 0,01 m³ | Pilot plants, small chemical and food lines |
| 800 mm | 1,0 m² | 15–60 | yaklaşık 0,015 m³ | Plating, dye and pigment sludge, kaolin |
| 1000 mm | 1,6 m² | 20–80 | yaklaşık 0,025 m³ | Municipal and industrial sludge, stone and sand slurry |
| 1250 mm | 2,5 m² | 30–100 | yaklaşık 0,04 m³ | Mineral concentrates, larger wastewater plants |
| 1500 mm | 3,7 m² | 40–120 | yaklaşık 0,055 m³ | Coal slurry, tailings, ceramic plants |
| 2000 mm | 6,5 m² | 60–150 | yaklaşık 0,1 m³ | Large mine concentrate and tailings duty |
These are engineering ranges, not fixed models: each press is configured from your daily dry solids, target cake moisture and cycles per day. A mixed pack (membrane plate, chamber plate, membrane plate…) gives most of the squeeze benefit at lower cost and is the usual starting proposal. Sizing help: filtre pres kapasitesi nasıl hesaplanır.
Where a Membrane Filter Press Pays Back
Madencilik konsantresi ve atıkları
Copper, gold, lead-zinc and iron concentrates need low transport moisture; tailings need a stackable dry cake. See madencilik atık barajı susuzlaştırma filtre presi ve artık ve konsantre susuzlaştırma.
Belediye ve endüstriyel çamur
Lower cake moisture cuts landfill weight and lets cake go to drying or incineration with less fuel. See atıksu çamuru susuzlaştırma ve reducing cake moisture below 30%.
Kaolin, ceramic, stone and sand washing
Fast-filtering mineral slurries where a short cycle matters more than a few points of moisture; the squeeze also gives a firmer cake for handling. See taş ve yapı malzemeleri.
Chemical, dye, pigment and food by-products
Where the cake is a product or an intermediate, uniform squeeze washing removes mother liquor and salts more completely; PP or stainless construction and food-contact cloth are available. See chemical industry filter presses ve food and beverage filtration.

Typical Membrane Filter Press Applications
Four duties where customers most often choose the membrane press over a chamber press, and what the squeeze stage does in each. Project-specific figures are given in the quotation for your slurry, not as generic claims.
Automotive parts and metal-finishing plant
Phosphating, painting and plating wastewater produce a hydroxide sludge that is expensive to dispose of by weight. A membrane press squeezes the gelatinous cake to a drier, firmer slab, so fewer skips leave the site and cake can be stored without seepage.
Edible oil refinery
Spent bleaching earth and filter aid hold a lot of oil. Stainless-steel or PP membrane plates with food-contact cloth press the cake hard, recovering more oil into the filtrate and leaving a drier, safer cake for disposal.
Municipal wastewater treatment plant
Thickened biological sludge of 2–4% solids is conditioned with polymer and dewatered; the squeeze stage takes the cake past what a chamber press reaches, cutting the tonnage hauled to landfill or the fuel needed for drying. See sizing a municipal sludge filter press.
Pharmaceutical and fine-chemical manufacturer
Enclosed presses with drip trays and cake washing under squeeze remove mother liquor uniformly and keep the product contained; PP or stainless construction and validated cloth are chosen for the process.
Published reference figures for these duties
The figures below come from public technical sources, not from Senjie projects. They show the order of magnitude to expect; your own result is set by the slurry and is confirmed by a filtration test.
| Görev | Chamber (recessed-plate) press | Membrane press / effect of squeeze | Ne anlama gelir | Kaynak |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Metal-finishing and plating hydroxide sludge | Cake of 25–30% solids | Cake of 35–40% solids | About a quarter less cake weight to haul for the same dry solids (calculated at mid-range: 3.6 t vs 2.7 t of cake per tonne of dry solids) | Products Finishing, “Looking For A Better Way To Dewater Sludge?”, 1999 |
| Municipal sludge, lime and ferric conditioning | Cake of 35–50% solids from 3–8% feed solids; cycle 1.5–3 h | Squeeze adds 4–5 points of dry solids; 30–40% more output on mineral, hydrophobic sludge | Drier cake and more batches per day from the same press frame | US EPA Biosolids Technology Fact Sheet EPA 832-F-00-058 (2000); SUEZ Water Handbook, membrane plate filter press |
| Municipal sludge, polymer conditioning | About 35% total solids on mixed primary and activated sludge | Squeeze adds 2–3 points of dry solids | Smaller gain than with mineral conditioning; test before choosing membrane plates | US EPA EPA 832-F-00-058; SUEZ Water Handbook |
| Membrane squeeze stage, any sludge | — | Squeeze pressure about 15 bar after feeding at 6–7 bar; membranes held inflated 15–45 minutes | Size the frame and hydraulics for squeeze pressure, not feed pressure | SUEZ Water Handbook |
| Edible oil refinery, spent bleaching earth | Spent bleaching earth leaves the filter holding about 20–40% oil by weight | The oil left in the cake is the loss a harder squeeze and air blow are meant to cut | Shekarchizadeh, Goli and Daghighi, 20th National Congress on Food Technology, 2011 | |

Membrane Filter Press FAQ
What is the difference between a membrane filter press and a chamber filter press?
Both form the cake in chambers between recessed plates. A membrane press adds a flexible membrane on each plate face and a squeeze stage after filtration, which compresses the cake and removes water that feed pressure alone cannot. The result is a drier cake and a shorter cycle at a higher plate cost.
How much drier is the cake from a membrane filter press?
On most slurries the squeeze stage removes a further 5–15 percentage points of moisture compared with a chamber press on the same material. The exact figure depends on particle size, cake compressibility and conditioning, which is why we test your sample before quoting a moisture figure.
Water or air squeeze: which should I choose?
Water squeeze is the standard: it is incompressible, so pressure is held steadily and safely, and the system is simple. Air squeeze avoids water in the plate pack and suits sites with a large compressed-air supply or where freezing is a concern, but it needs a larger air system and more care with pressure release.
Can I mix membrane plates and chamber plates?
Yes. A mixed pack alternates one membrane plate with one chamber plate, so every chamber is squeezed from one side. It gives most of the moisture benefit at roughly half the membrane-plate cost and is the usual first proposal; a full membrane pack is used when the lowest possible moisture is required.
Can an existing chamber filter press be converted to a membrane press?
Often, if the frame, hydraulic closing force and plate size match the squeeze pressure. The chamber plates are replaced by membrane plates (or a mixed pack) and a squeeze pump or air system with control valves is added. Send us the press make, plate size, plate count and closing pressure and we check it.
What squeeze pressure do membrane plates use?
Standard membrane plates squeeze at about 0.8–1.6 MPa; higher-pressure plates are available for very compressible cakes. Feed pressure stays at 0.6–1.0 MPa. The frame and hydraulic system are sized for the squeeze pressure, not just the feed pressure.
