Membrane Filter Press Plates have a chamber below the drainage surface that can be inflated. The common method used is water pressure, which is generated by pumping into the squeeze cavity to inflate the face of the plate against the filter cake. Membrane Plates are used to reduce the cake moisture content & shorten the filtration cycle time.
Mix Pack Membrane are the most common configuration (one recessed plate then one membrane plate alternate in the press plate pack). Membrane Plates usually operate at a feed pressure of up to 7 bar and squeeze pressure up to 15 bar. Special plates can be designed for higher feed & squeeze pressure. |
