Filter Press Operation - How to Operate a Filter Press

Filter Press Stages

1 - Filling Stage

Filter Press - Filling

Filling Stage: The Slurry enters and fills the chambers through a feed pump. 

2 - Filtration Stage

Filter Press - Filtration

Filtration Stage: Once the chambers are filled with the slurry, the pressure from the feed pump will force the liquid filtrate out from the chambers. The Filter Plates and Filter Cloths will capture the solid particles creating sludge.

3 - Air Blowdown Stage

Filter Press - Air Blow Down Stage

Air Blowdown Stage: The Air Blowdown Procedure allows the remaining free liquid in the filter press to be purged before the filter chambers are opened. Air is entered through a filtrate port, and the remaining liquid is forced out. This improves cake dryness.

4 - Cake Discharge Stage

Filter Press - Cake Discharge

Cake Discharge Stage: Each chamber is opened for cleaning. The sludge is removed and the filter cloths are cleaned if needed.
