AES - Chamber Filter Presses

The modem filter presses use recessed plates because of the advantages of dryer operations and the ability to feed the larger center hole. When these plates are pushed together, they form the cavity for solids to collect in. These recessed plates are normally manufactured out of polypropylene and come in gasketed and non-gasketed types. The gasketed plate is normally center feed with rubber gaskets around the corner holes and the solids cavity. The feed slurry is fed through the center feed and the solids collect in the plate cavity, while the filtered liquid passes through the cloth to the drainage surface. From the drainage surface, the liquid flows to the corner holes where it goes into the discharge piping and then to the process tank or drain. The recessed plates and it`s application are the same as a gasketed plate, except that it has no gaskets.
