Important Information On The Filter Press

By Sarah Hill


A filter media is a tool used in the separation process. It mainly separates water from mud. A case in point is that of marble factories. They use the filter to separate the mud from the water and they then the recycle the water and use it during the marble cutting process. The article below provides general information on filter press.

Basically, the filters contain two plates covered with filter media. These sifter media create a seal between the two filter plates. There then is the application of enough force to pump the slurry into the hollows formed between the two closed plates. The purpose of the strainer cloth is to allow the filtrate out through the openings of the filter media with withholding the residue.

You may be wondering, how does the machine rid itself of the residue that has been separated from the filtrate. Letting it occupy space for a long time could lead to its blocking or breaking down. The first step is to stop the feeding pump from supplying the slurry. From there, the pressure holding the seal in place is released. Afterwards, the force of gravity is supposed to pull at the material until it drops.

It is common for people to think that the strainer media the plates in order to help the dewatering process. This is however not true. The feed pump distributor the adequate pressure to remove water from these solids. The two times that there is movement in the sifter is when it opens up to dispose of dried cakes and closes up again for a new cycle.

There is nothing more irritating than a machinery that you need to constantly monitor. The main purpose of machines is to minimize human labor. People tend to prefer automated machines as they save on time and are often effective. The sifter media is able to do a lot on it is own including the effort to select cycle times, feed heaviness, cake wideness among other things.

For a piece of equipment to serve you for the time intended and efficiently, you have to be ready to pay for maintenance as often as the machine needs to. A good example is the over-head beam strainer. As the name suggests the strainer plates hang from overhead ray. Therefore, there are no parts to the side of the machinery making it easier to change the filter cloths.

The side rays are another kind of strainer that is available. In this particular machinery, the strainer plates are held in place by beams running on the side of the media. One of the main advantages of the machinery is that the upfront close is lower. However, maintenance may not be as easy as in the overhead ray. Since the washcloths are harder to reach an automatic wash system is necessary.

With the side ray, the sifter plates are reinforced by ray running on the side of the media. With these, maintenance may not be as easy since it would take a while to get to the plates to change the sifter cloths. With such, an automatic wash system would be the easiest and most suitable form of maintenance. It may also be more affordable.
