Description & Usage

The filter press uses pressure to force liquid through a series of stacked plates covered in filter cloth. It is ideal for solid-liquid separation where a high-solids content “filter cake” must be recovered. The cloth must be selected based on the chemical compatibility of the slurry and the desired particle retention size.
