Filter Press

Shreyans Water Engineers offers Filter Press. An industrial filter press is a tool used in separation processes, specifically to separate solids and liquids. The process uses the principle of pressure drive,[clarification needed] as provided by a slurry pump. Among other uses, filter presses are utilized in marble factories in order to separate water from mud in order to reuse the water during the marble cutting process. Generally, the slurry that will be separated is injected into the center of the press and each chamber of the press is filled. Optimal filling time will ensure the last chamber of the press is loaded before the mud in the first chamber begins to cake. As the chambers fill, pressure inside the system will increase due to the formation of thick sludge. Then, the liquid is strained through filter cloths by force using compressed air or water. Pressurized water requires more time to pass through the chambers compared to pressurized air, but the use of water is more cost efficient.
