400x400 mm Filter Press

400x400 mm Filter Press is designed for separating solid particles from liquids and forming filter cake in various production and process applications.

During filtration, the liquid phase passes through the filter cloths and leaves the system, while solid particles are retained between the filter plates. The number of plates and machine capacity can be determined according to the characteristics of the product to be filtered and the process requirements of the plant.

400x400 mm Filter Press Construction

The machine frame is manufactured as standard from ST37 steel, while the feed section is made of AISI 304 stainless steel.

The filtration section is equipped with 400x400 mm PP (Polypropylene) filter press plates. Depending on process requirements, Chamber filter press plates or a Full-Empty filter press plate system can be used.

The filter plates are compressed by a hydraulic system. The number of plates can be determined according to the processing volume and required capacity.

How Does Filtration Take Place?

The product to be filtered is fed into the filtration section of the filter press by a pump. The filter cloths allow the liquid phase to pass through while retaining solid particles between the plates.

As filtration continues, solid particles accumulate between the plates and form a filter cake. When the filtration cycle is completed, the hydraulic system is released, the plates are separated and the resulting filter cakes are discharged from the machine.

The filtrate passing through the filter cloths can then be directed to a suitable point according to the existing process configuration of the plant.

System and Capacity Selection

Filter press selection should not be based only on plate size. The solids content, particle structure, processing volume, filtration time and operating conditions should be evaluated together.

400x400 mm filter presses can be manufactured with different numbers of plates according to process and capacity requirements.

The appropriate plate type, number of plates and machine capacity can be determined by evaluating the characteristics of the product to be filtered and the production capacity of the plant.

Filter Cloth and Sample Testing

Since the characteristics of the products and their particle structures may vary, selecting the correct filter cloth plays an important role in filtration performance.

Whenever possible, a filtration test is carried out using a product sample supplied by the customer. During the test, filtration behaviour, filter cake structure and filtrate quality are evaluated.

Based on the test results, suitable filter cloth, plate system and filter press specifications can be determined.
