Parts of Filter Press Prone to Rust and Preventive Measures

The filter press is a device used for solid-liquid separation. Since it often works in a humid environment, its metal parts are extremely prone to rust. This article will introduce the parts of the filter press that are prone to rust and provide corresponding preventive measures.

Parts of Filter Press that are Prone to Rust

Filter Press Frame
Frame and frame are the main structural parts of the filter press, usually made of carbon steel or other metal materials that are prone to rust. Filter presses usually work in a humid environment, and moisture easily forms rust spots on the surface of the frame and frame. If not properly treated with anti-corrosion or coated, the frame and frame are prone to rust in a humid environment. If not cleaned and maintained regularly, water and dust easily accumulate on the metal surface, accelerating rust.

Compression system
The compression system includes hydraulic cylinders, screws, and related metal parts. These parts may be exposed to moisture and chemicals during operation and are susceptible to rust. With regular lubrication and maintenance, the metal components of the compression system are resistant to rust.

Bolts and fasteners
The bolts, nuts, and other fasteners on the filter press are usually made of metal and are often exposed to moisture and corrosive substances. If they are not galvanized or stainless steel, they will rust in a humid environment. If ordinary steel fasteners are used, they are prone to rust in a humid environment.

Pipes and valves
The metal pipes and valves connecting the feed, discharge, and washing systems of the filter press are also prone to rust if they are exposed to a wet and corrosive environment for a long time without taking anti-rust measures. Pipes and valves are often in contact with liquids and corrosive chemicals and are prone to rust. If they are not cleaned and maintained regularly, corrosive substances can easily accumulate on the inner and outer surfaces of pipes and valves.

The chain of the automatic plate-pulling system
The chain of the automatic plate pulling system is also a part of the filter press that is prone to rust. The chain plays an important transmission task in the operation of the filter press. If it rusts, it will affect its normal operation and even cause equipment failure. The filter press usually operates in a humid environment. Water and humidity will accelerate the oxidation process of the metal chain and cause rust. At the same time, the materials processed by the filter press may contain acids, alkalis, or other corrosive chemicals, which will cause corrosion after contacting the chain. If the chain is not cleaned and lubricated in time, the oil film on the surface will be destroyed, and the metal will be more likely to rust when exposed to the air.

Preventive Measures for Rusting of Filter Press Parts

Use stainless steel or other corrosion-resistant metal materials to manufacture the frame. Apply anti-corrosion paint or anti-rust oil on the surface of the frame to form a protective layer. Clean the frame regularly to ensure that the surface is dry, and repair the damaged anti-corrosion layer in time.
Use corrosion-resistant metal materials to manufacture hydraulic cylinders and screws. Lubricate the hydraulic cylinders and screws regularly to form a protective film to prevent rust. Check each component of the clamping system regularly, and clean and maintain them in time.
Use galvanized bolts or stainless steel fasteners. Galvanize bolts and fasteners or apply anti-rust paint. Check the condition of fasteners regularly and replace rusted parts in time.
Choose stainless steel or anti-corrosion-treated metal pipes and valves. Clean pipes and valves regularly and apply anti-rust oil or anti-corrosion coating. Keep the working environment of pipes and valves dry to reduce the influence of moisture and corrosive substances.
Use chains made of stainless steel, which have strong corrosion resistance. Improve the corrosion resistance of the chain through zinc plating or chrome plating. Special chain lubricants are used to form a protective film to prevent moisture and corrosive substances from directly contacting the metal surface. Clean the dirt and residue on the chain regularly to prevent the accumulation of corrosive substances. Use rust inhibitors to clean the chain to further enhance the anti-corrosion effect.

Conclusion

In short, the problem of rust on the filter press is inevitable. However, by taking the above protective measures, the rust problem of various parts of the filter press can be effectively reduced, the service life of the equipment can be extended, and its normal operation can be ensured.
