Standard Industrial Equipment Pharmaceutical Filter Plates
Product Description
Plate and Frame Filter Press
A Pharmaceutical Filter Plate and frame Filter Press is the most fundamental design, and may be referred to as a "membrane plate filter." This type of filter press consists of many alternating plates and frames assembled with the supports of a pair of rails, with filter membranes inserted between each plate-frame pair.
- Plates provide support to the Filter plates under pressure, and have narrow slots to allow the Filter Plate to flow through the membrane into the plate, then out into a collection system.
- Frames provide a chamber between the membranes and plates into which the is pumped and the filter cake accumulates.
The stack is compressed with sufficient force to provide a liquid-tight seal between each plate and frame, the filter membrane may have an integrated seal around the edge or the filter material itself may act as a gasket when compressed.
As the slurry is pumped through the membranes, the filter cake accumulates and becomes thicker. The filter resistance increases as well, and the process is stopped when the pressure differential reaches a point where the plates are considered full enough.
To remove the filter cake and clear the filters, the stack of plates and frames are separated and the cake either falls off or is scraped from the membranes to be collected in a tray below.The filter membranes are then cleaned using wash liquid and the stack is re-compressed ready to start the next cycle.
