The filter press is a mechanical solid-liquid separation device that applies pressure through specialized filtration media to extract liquids. First used in chemical production during the early 18th century, it remains widely applied in industries including:
Chemicals
Pharmaceuticals
Metallurgy
Dyes
Food & Beverage
Ceramics
Environmental Protection
Hesaide Chamber Filter Press Environmental Protection Equipment
Key Features:
Stable performance, user-friendly operation
Metal cylinders: Seamless steel tubes

4. Classification & Applications
4.1 Plate-and-Frame Filter Press
Pressure: 0.3–3 MPa
Applications: Compressible/non-compressible slurries (<10% solids).
4.2 Chamber Filter Press
Advantage: Higher pressure (up to 4.5 MPa), no frame required.
4.3 Belt Filter Press
Features: Continuous operation, low energy consumption.
Applications: Municipal sludge dewatering.
4.4 Diaphragm Filter Press
Moisture Reduction: Cake humidity ≤50% after squeezing.
5. Installation & Maintenance
5.1 Installation
Concrete foundation with anchor bolts.
Hydraulic oil: ISO VG 20–40 (operating temperature > -5°C).
5.2 Maintenance
Daily Checks: Lubrication, filter cloth integrity.
Annual: Hydraulic oil replacement + system flush.
Critical Notes:
Never operate with insufficient filter plates.
Avoid overpressure (>4.5 MPa) to prevent plate deformation.
6. Troubleshooting
Issue 1: Misalignment During Operation
Solution: Reverse feed pipe orientation (180°) to counterbalance forces.
Issue 2: Chain Derailment
Solution: Replace 7-link chains with 3-link chains to prevent twisting.
7. Industry Applications
Sludge Treatment: Reduces moisture to 65–80%.
Emerging Tech: Ultra-high-pressure vertical filter presses (residual oil <5%).
Process Flow:
Sludge → Chemical Conditioning → Filter Press → Cake Disposal (Landfill/Incineration)
