FilterPress Filters

Filtration Process

FilterPress filters The filtration process with filter presses is a filtration within the scope of sediment filtration.

It works with the principle of separating the clean liquid by keeping the solid parts in the filter press cloths, in the separation of the solid and liquid parts in the fluids of different densities and viscosities, which are generally formed by liquid and solid components.

Depending on the nature of the process, the main product that will result from the filtration process may be liquid or solid part.

As is known, Cartridge and Bag type filters also work for the same purposes.

Filterpresses are mostly used in fluids with high solids content, that is, in fluids with high solids load, and in fluids with high density and viscosity. The reason for this is to extend the change period of the filters by obtaining a higher filtration area with filter presses.

When a cartridge filter or a bag filter is used in fluids with the same solids %, that is, with a high solids load, even if the capacity of the filter housing and the cartridges and bags it is placed in is sufficient in terms of flow rate, the container (house) in which the filters are placed will be lost in a short time due to the solid matter height. requires frequent replacement.

Since this is an undesirable situation, the replacement periods are extended by using larger volume cartridge filters or bag filter housings by increasing the volume of the cartridge filter or bag filter housings.

For this reason, in some processes, filterpresses, belt filters or vacuum rotary drum filters are used for fluids with more than % solid matter and high density and viscosity.

Since belt filters and vacuum rotary drum filters are filters with movable mechanical parts, they may malfunction from time to time or create some operating difficulties. In addition, the solid product coming out of these filters is in the form of wet cake. It contains some process fluid.

Filterpresses do not have continuously moving mechanical parts. After the first cloths are attached, they are used by compressing with the hydraulic compression mechanism. When it is time to change the clothes, the liquid inside is emptied by blowing with pressurized nitrogen or air or in another way, depending on the process. Plates are opened by operating the hydraulic mechanism, dirty cloths are removed and new filters are attached. By operating the hydraulic mechanism again, the plates and filters are compressed and the filterpress is activated.

Because of their ease of use, operation and change, filter presses are more practical and useful than belt filters and rotary drum filters.

Specially manufactured filters called “filterpress cloth” or “filterpress filter” are used in filterpresses. Filterpress filters are in a wide variety of types, shapes, sizes and micron properties that vary according to the structure and characteristics of the process used.

In our company, all types of filter press filters are produced with the features required by the process you need.
