2800 L Filter Press For Wastewater Treatment Sludge Separation

Product introduction of 2800 L Filter Press

The 2800 L plate and frame filter press is an industrial filtration equipment used for separating suspended solids from liquids under controlled pressure conditions. It consists of a frame structure with thrust plate, pressing plate, crossbeam, and multiple alternating filter plates and frames. Filter cloths are installed between each chamber to retain solids while allowing filtrate to pass through. This system is suitable for suspensions with low solid concentration and is widely used in wastewater treatment, chemical processing, and mineral industries. It provides stable operation, adaptable pressure control, and efficient sludge volume reduction for industrial applications.

Working principle

Slurry is pumped into the filter press chambers formed between alternating plates and frames. Under hydraulic pressure, liquid passes through filter cloths and exits as filtrate through internal channels, while solids are retained inside the chambers. As filtration continues, solids accumulate and form a filter cake. Once chambers are fully filled, the system stops feeding, pressure is released, and the plates are separated for cake discharge before the next cycle begins.
