Fully Automatic Filter press

Fully Automatic Filter press

A PLC-based fully automatic filter press is designed to handle the entire filtration cycle with minimal human involvement. From plate shifting and cake discharge to cloth washing and cycle control, every step is managed by an advanced PLC control system. This automation ensures consistent plate pressure, smooth operation, and faster cycle times, which in turn improve productivity and reduce operating costs. Since the process runs automatically, labor requirements are greatly reduced, and downtime is minimized. These presses are especially suited for large-scale, continuous operations such as wastewater treatment plants, mining operations, and chemical processing, where high throughput and consistent results are essential. In addition to delivering reliable and high-quality filtration, the fully automatic design also enhances safety for operators and ensures long-term cost efficiency.

Product Description

An Automatic Filter Press is the most advanced solution for solid-liquid separation, designed to minimize manual intervention and maximize efficiency. It is widely used in industries with large-scale, continuous filtration requirements such as wastewater treatment, chemical manufacturing, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, metallurgy, and mining.

The Automatic Filter Press integrates a hydraulic closing system, automatic plate shifting device, drip tray system, and PLC control for fully automated operation. This ensures high throughput, reduced labor costs, and consistent filtration results.

By eliminating manual operations such as plate shifting and cake discharge, the automatic filter press is the ideal choice for industries requiring 24/7 operation, high productivity, and reliable performance.

How Does an Automatic Filter Press Work?

The working principle of an automatic filter press is similar to manual and semi-automatic models but with advanced automation for minimal operator involvement:

  1. Slurry Feeding
    • Slurry is pumped into the chambers formed between filter plates lined with filter cloth.
  2. Filtration Process
    • Under hydraulic pressure, the liquid passes through the filter cloth and exits via filtrate channels, while solids are trapped, forming a filter cake.
  3. Cake Formation
    • Cakes are compressed under high pressure until chambers are filled.
  4. Automatic Plate Shifting & Cake Discharge
    • Once filtration is complete, the PLC-controlled system automatically opens the filter plates one by one, discharging the cakes without operator assistance.
  5. Cleaning & Continuous Operation
    • Automatic cloth washing and plate closing systems enable the press to restart quickly, ensuring continuous, high-capacity operation.

This automation not only reduces labor costs but also ensures consistent quality and faster cycle times.
