Filter press

Ahmedabad-based Sachin Filtech manufactures filter press, which is a solid liquid separation device working based on the principle of pressure feeding. It has been used successfully in almost every industrial filtration application over its 150 years of history. It includes a series of filter plates and frames or recessed plates, which are arranged alternately. The filter medium is provided in between the plates. A feeding pump is utilized to force the liquid through the medium leaving the solid trapped inside. Compared to other pressure filters the filter press holds more solids per square feet of filtering surface area then any other. The filter presses are closed manually or by a power operated hydraulic device by pressing the moving head with a ram, sealing the unit for filtration. The filter press is typically less costly to install compared to rotary drum vacuum filters, belt presses or centrifuges. It is significantly less expensive and easier to maintain and operate then the other three, and service life has been proven time and time again to be much longer. The filter press is available in various sizes.
