Our filter press has been designed to be the most energy efficient and cost effective method of producing high-dry solids in cake form, with an extremely high degree of clarity in the liquid effluent. |
| Whether it is a large 1500mm filter press, or a small 250mm pilot press, the J-Press is a fully contained unit that is as easy and safe to operate as it is to adapt to different processes. The filtration process is essentially one of separating suspended solids from a pretreated mixture of liquids and solids called slurry. A standard J-Press consists of a ruggedly build fabricated steel frame; a series of durable filter plates; filter cloths, usually woven polypropylene or other material and a pneumatically actuated hydraulic closing mechanism. |
| The press is simple to operate from a readily accessible control panel containing all switches and gauges for checking the air and hydraulic pressure. The press is made ready for operation by activating the air supply to "on" and the selector switch to "close". The hydraulic pump is turned "on" which clamps the plates tightly together. Starting the feed pump begins the cycle by forcing the slurry into the feed inlet for even dispersion of material to each chamber. This slurry, which is under increasing pressure, deposits and builds up particles on the surface of the filter cloth. The filtrate passes through this build-up of particles and the filter cloth and is channeled to discharge ports. When the chambers are filled with solids and the clear filtrate flow becomes minimal the feed pump turns off. The press is now ready for opening and plate shifting in order to separate the dried filter cake from the chamber recesses. |  |
