The purpose of the automatic plate shifter is to move the filter plates (patented sectional emptying), whether they are moved individually or assembled together as a package in order to empty the filter press. Experience has shown that this is done manually on smaller filter presses. With larger plate formats, however, plate shifting is more difficult and requires a plate transport system. The plate shifter is attached to both side rails, which move the filter plates synchronously by means of toothed belts. The system functions hydraulically and is controlled via the PLC control in the control cabinet. For maximum protection, all functional components are mounted in a closed housing, the plate shifting carriage. For safety reasons, the automated plate movement is protected by a light barrier. When reaching into the danger area, the press switches off in accordance with legal requirements.

The swivel plate / drip tray for filter presses is mainly used in automatic or manual designs in order to catch the filtrate escaping from the filter plates during filtration and thus to ensure controlled drainage of the dripping water into the filtrate drain channel. These prevent droplets from reaching conveyor belts or cake waste containers. The respective drip trays are located underneath the plate pack. In addition, the closed drip trays discharge the cleaning water when cleaning the filter plates and filter cloths in the press. To empty the filter press, the drip trays must be swivelled up (automatically) / removed (manually) to expose the discharge chute for the filter cake.

The industry-leading filter cloth washing system from MSE Filterpressen is a device that uses PLC logic controls to ensure fully automatic cleaning of filter cloths without operator intervention. The cleaning is done using water that is sprayed on the surface of the filter cloths at a high pressure. The washing trolley is a frame construction which moves on track rollers and guide rails and is coupled to the automatic plate shifter.

Spreader Clamp: In this version, a steel retaining bracket for the filter cloth is mounted on the chamber filter plate or membrane filter plate. In its normal state, the filter cloth is pressed against the respective filter plate by a spring. The corresponding „buckling“ of the retaining bracket is effected by the adhering filter cake or its weight when the individual chambers are opened. The buckling movement releases the filter cake from the filter cloth (automatic filter cake release aid). The reduced weight of the retaining bracket/filter cloth combination means that the tension spring can now return to its vertical basic position.

Membrane filter presses have a great influence on the dryness of the solid by using membrane technology in the filter plates. A flexible, impermeable membrane attached to the carrier body compresses the cake in the chamber after the feeding process is complete. The membrane technology not only offers the advantage of an extremely high degree of dewatering. Furthermore, the filtration cycle time is additionally reduced, on average by more than 50 percent, depending on the suspension through the membrane filtration. This results in faster cycle and turnaround times, which lead to an increase in productivity. Even with partially filled filter chambers, excellent dry matter results can be achieved thanks to membrane technologies. Even with abrasive media, for example, pump wear is decreased by reduced feeding pressure (6-8 bar depending on the suspension) without affecting the final result.
