MO 06 PLATE & FRAME FILTER PRESS

DESCRIPTION

A filter press contains a set of plates designed to provide a series of chambers or compartments in which solids may collect. The plates are covered with a filter medium such as canvas cloth. Slurry is admitted to each compartment under pressure; liquor passes through the canvas cloth and out to a discharge pipe, leaving a wet cake of solids behind. Plates and frames settled vertically in a metal rack, with cloth covering the face of each plate, and are squeezed tightly together by, screw. Slurry enters at one end of the assembly of plates and frame. It passes through a channel running lengthwise through one corner of assembly. The set up consists of 7 plates and 6 frames. Frames are covered with filter cloth. Feed is fed by gear pump at the top and filtrate collected at the bottom from each plate by operating the valve. After removing cake, washing and cleaning can be done by water provided by overhead tank. Inlet & outlet pressures are measured by pressure gauges. Rate of filtrate removals is measure by measuring cylinder provided.
