There are four main basic types of filter presses: plate and frame filter presses, recessed plate and frame filter presses, membrane filter presses and (fully) automatic filter presses. A plate and frame filter press is the most fundamental design, and may be referred to …

The four main components of a filter press include the frame, filter plates, manifold (piping and valves), and filter cloth, a key ingredient for optimizing filter press operations.

A plate Filter Press is composed of a frame holding a series of recessed plates lined with filter cloths. The plates are held tightly together, creating a seal around their perimeters using hydraulic pressure.

Filter presses are comprised of five key elements: filter cloths (a key component for optimal performance), filter plates, steel frames, hydraulic systems, and manifolds. A filter press is designed to efficiently process large batches of pressurized slurry.

Plate and frame filter press functions based on the surface filtration mechanism. The slurry to be filtered is pumped under pressure into the plate and filter press following which the panicles are retained on the filter medium, while the filtrate is collected at the outlet.
