A manual filter press is the simplest and most cost-effective option for solid-liquid separation, ideal for small-scale or low-volume operations such as laboratory use or batch processing. It operates entirely through human effort, using a manual screw or handwheel mechanism to tighten the plates. Despite its basic design, it delivers consistent results, is easy to operate and maintain, and requires no external power—making it a reliable, portable, and budget-friendly choice, especially in remote or temporary setups.
A Filter Press is one of the most trusted and widely used machines for solid-liquid separation across industries. It works on the principle of pressure filtration and is capable of producing clear filtrate along with dry, compact filter cakes.
The Manual Filter Press has been engineered with advanced technology and robust materials to ensure high efficiency, low energy consumption, and long-term durability. Whether used for wastewater treatment, chemical processing, food and beverage industries, pharmaceuticals, mining, or metallurgy, our filter press delivers unmatched performance and consistency.
We offer manual, hydraulic, and fully automatic filter press systems to meet different industrial requirements. With customizable plate sizes, filtration areas, and automation levels, our filter presses are adaptable for small-scale operations as well as large-scale industrial plants.
The working principle of a filter press is straightforward yet highly effective. Here’s the step-by-step process:
This process ensures maximum liquid recovery, reduced waste volume, and effective separation even for slurries with fine particles.
When investing in filtration equipment, reliability, efficiency, and support matter the most. Here’s why industries around the world trust Ultrafiltech:
