Washing robot

The cloths oft he filter press are automatically cleaned off by a high-pressure water yet. The spaying beam fitted to the moving washing robot is moved up and down between the filter plates to clean the cloths. This ensures that the cleaning is done carefully and reliably by the spray nozzles.

Drip Tray

A drip tray fitted under the filter press collects the filtrate and washing water and returns it back to the closed water circuit. While the cakes are being emptied, the drip tray is automatically opened and then closed again.

Core blow unit

Prior to opening the filter plates at the end of the filtration cycle, compressed air blows the remaining liquid sludge out of the centrals filling channel and back into the sludge pipe, thus preventing the dry, semisolid filter cake from being contaminated with remains of liquid sludge.

Membrane compression

An additional compression and the resulting additional drying of the filter cake is carried out by a membrane embedded in the filter plate. Membranes up to a size of 1000 mm are filled with air while membranes over 1200 mm in size are filled with water.

Filter cake washing

In applications where the filter cakes might be contaminated or substances, which can be reclaimed might be lost, there is the possibility of rinsing out the filter cakes during the pressing process with liquid media.

Filter cake washing

Filter cakes of sludges, which are difficult to press can be exposed to air after the pressing process. It streams from one side to the other. Liquid which has accumulated in the pores is extracted.
