Product family
Plate Filtration Equipment
Plate, frame and pressure filtration equipment using cloth, membrane or other non-diatomite mechanisms.
How to use this family page
Choose the operating concept before the model.
This family is intentionally separate from closed-plate diatomite systems. Selection depends on slurry properties, cake objective, cycle time, plate area and cloth compatibility.
Engineering selection system
Select the press from slurry behaviour and the required cake.
Plate area alone does not define a press. Feed solids, compressibility, filtration rate, washing, squeeze requirement and discharge handling determine the architecture and cycle.
Set the separation objective
Prioritize filtrate clarity, solids recovery, cake dryness, washing efficiency or a balanced result.
Characterize the slurry
Record solids concentration, particle distribution, compressibility, abrasiveness, temperature and chemical compatibility.
Build the cycle
Define filling, filtration, washing, air blow, membrane squeeze, plate opening and cake discharge expectations.
Choose automation
Confirm plate size, cloth, hydraulic closure, drip collection, plate shifting and operator access.
Preliminary route matrix
| Process need | Recommended starting route | Selection emphasis |
|---|---|---|
| Flexible batch work and washing access | Plate-and-frame filter | Frame volume, cloth arrangement and cycle flexibility. |
| General pressure filtration with chamber cake formation | Chamber filter press | Chamber volume, filtration area and discharge cycle. |
| Drier cake or shorter final dewatering stage | Diaphragm filter press | Membrane squeeze pressure and cake compressibility. |
| Diatomite filter aid without cloth/membrane media | Closed-plate diatomite route | Different mechanism; classified under diatomite filtration. |
RFQ readiness
A meaningful press RFQ describes the whole cycle.
If cake test data are unavailable, provide current equipment performance or a representative sample report.
- Slurry composition and solids concentration
- Particle size and cake compressibility
- Batch volume or feed rate
- Target filtrate clarity and cake moisture
- Washing, squeeze and air-blow requirements
- Material, utilities and automation level
Final plate area, chamber volume, cycle time and cake moisture depend on slurry test behaviour. Published descriptions are route guidance, not guaranteed process performance.
