1200 L Plate and Frame Filter Press for Sludge Treatment


The Plate and Frame Filter Press is a solid-liquid separation system designed for dewatering industrial slurries through pressure filtration. It works by forcing slurry into sealed chambers formed by filter plates, where solids are retained and liquids pass through filter cloth. It is widely used in coal washing, chemical processing, and wastewater treatment industries. The system supports efficient sludge dewatering, reducing moisture content and improving handling for downstream disposal or reuse processes.

Product introduction of Plate and Frame Filter Press

The Plate and Frame Filter Press is a batch-operated dewatering machine designed for separating solids and liquids in industrial slurry processes. It consists of multiple filter plates and frames that form closed chambers, where slurry is pumped under pressure. Solids are captured by filter cloth while filtrate is discharged through drainage channels. This equipment is suitable for industries such as metallurgy, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and textile wastewater treatment. It is commonly used in applications requiring high-efficiency sludge dewatering and solid-liquid separation in both industrial and municipal treatment systems.

Working Principle

The Plate and Frame Filter Press operates by feeding slurry into closed filter chambers formed by alternating plates and frames. Under pressure from a feed pump, liquid passes through filter cloth while solid particles are trapped inside the chamber. The filtrate is discharged through drainage channels on the plates. Once filtration is complete, the plates are separated, and the dewatered filter cake is removed. This cycle enables efficient solid-liquid separation and sludge volume reduction.
