The basic components of a filter press are the frame, filter plate pack, closing device and optional additional features. The construction of the filter press frame is available in two versions: the side bar and the overhead beam design.
The size of the filter press is defined by the dimensions of the filter plate. We manufacture filter presses in sizes 250x250 up to 2600x2600 mm and filtration pressures up to 60 bar.

Our frame designs provide unlimited flexibility in size and material selection for the filter plate system. It is our philosophy to offer the most suitable filter plate for a particular application. In making this selection the operating conditions, required cycle times and of course price and reliability are taken into consideration.

We are able to supply standard polypropylene plates from reputable manufacturers or to draw on proprietary designs in various materials, developed through many years experience in chemical production and sludge dewatering applications.

Side Bar Design From simple manual to fully automated equipment designs Max. degree of automation also with extremely sticky filter cake Comparatively low construction weight Pressures up to 50 bar Available in sizes up to 2000x2000 mm
Overhead Beam Design Free access to the plate pack Special design for the chemical industry (max. degree of corrosion protection), - also suitable for very aggressive media Massive and solid construction for severe operating conditions
Compression closed design: Pressures up to 60 bar Available in sizes up to 2000x2000 mm Tension closed design: Pressures up to 50 bar Available in sizes up to 2600x2600 mm
