If
you’re working in an industry where wastewater is a
byproduct, you’ll need an effective method to treat the
slurry water. A filter press is the perfect solution,
but it isn’t just one size fits all.
When
choosing a filter press, you have countless options and setups
to choose from to fit your needs. Choose from fully
integrated components designed to match your needs and
specifications as well as optional automated flush valves,
fully customizable control panels, screens and mixers, and
automated pH or disinfectant feed systems.
It’s
important to consider size before investing in a filter
press. It’s easy to simply choose the biggest option
and assume the filtration process will go smoothly as long as
it isn’t overloaded. Bigger is not always better, so
you should choose a filter press after carefully considering
your needs and the application you are using it for.
In
certain applications, cake and water quality can drop if the
press is oversized. Additionally, a filter press than is
too large can make your costs rise, not only with the initial
purchase but when running the machine. Thoughtful design
and pairing with other technologies can reduce the size and
overall cost of your purchase.
To
determine what size filter press you need, two main factors
are considered:
---
The quantity of solids
being filtered and the gallons per minute flow
---
If
you only need to filter a few gallons per minute, a smaller
filter press plant should do the trick. If your gallons
per minute flow is much higher — for instance, 100 gallons
of water per minute — you’ll want to go with a large
filter press.

additional components you may need, call USA Dust Guard ---
