Filter press

The filter press is built with a robust steel frame and is equipped with all the components required to ensure efficient and reliable operation:

  • Hydraulic power unit for operating the cylinder that closes the filter plate pack.
  • Electrical control panel with PLC logic for the automatic management of the entire filtration process.
  • Polypropylene plates complete with filter cloths and backing cloths, selected according to the characteristics of the sludge to be treated. Under normal operating conditions and with proper maintenance, the filter cloths ensure an average service life of more than 1,500 operating cycles.

The time required for filter cake formation is automatically monitored by dedicated devices and varies according to the characteristics of the material being treated. In particular, as the percentage of dry solids in the incoming sludge increases, the time required for cake formation decreases.
The filter press normally achieves a dry solids content of between 70% and 90%, ensuring high dewatering performance.
Routine maintenance requirements are extremely limited and mainly consist of periodically washing the filter cloths with medium- or high-pressure water jets. This operation helps preserve the drainage capacity of the cloths over time and maintain consistent system performance.
Thanks to its simple and functional design, extraordinary maintenance operations are also quick and easy to carry out. The robust construction and high quality of the materials used ensure a long service life, while the modular design allows components to be replaced quickly and easily, minimizing machine downtime.
