How to choose suitable filter press type?

There are various types of filter presses, which are suitable for municipal sewage treatment, mining, tailings treatment, and other occasions. Different types of filter press need to be selected for different occasions. Selecting the right filter press for your specific application is crucial for efficiency and effectiveness. The following content will tell you how to choose suitable filter press type for your slurry.

Factors to consider when selecting a filter press

Type of Slurry: The property of the material you are processing is a primary consideration. Different slurry characteristics like pH, abrasiveness, and particle size will affect the choice of the filter press. For example, some pharmaceutical and chemical industries require the use of stainless steel filter presses due to the particularity of their materials.

Capacity and Size: The size of the filter press should be compatible with the required throughput. A larger capacity press is preferable for high-volume operations.

Pressure Requirements: Different filter presses operate at different pressures. High-pressure presses can achieve drier filter cakes, which might be necessary depending on your requirements.

Operation Method: There are manual and automatic filter presses. In a small laboratory environment, a manual filter press is sufficient. In contrast, large industries should use automatic filter presses to save time and labor.

Temperature Requirements: For temperatures below 100 degrees Celsius, an ordinary filter press can be used. For high-temperature materials above 100 degrees Celsius, a cast iron filter press is required.

To sum up, the selection of a filter press depends on your specific requirements. Combining the factors mentioned above, you can choose a suitable filter press. If you are not sure, please contact us; Uniwin can provide you with professional suggestions.
