Side-beam filter press APF

automatic

This model of filter press automatically manages the filtration cycle. The presence of probes and sensors that measure the fundamental values of the filtration cycle allows total automation of the filtration. It is also possible to change and customize the operating parameters in order to obtain the best filtration cycle for the type of sludge being processed: the PLC together with the HMI allows rapid modification of the process variables. The opening of each filtering plate at the end of the cycle is also automatic and takes place by means of a special pair of carriages with hooks. The two carriages pick up a single plate at a time (one by one) and bring it to the open position. As an optional extra, the carriage can be equipped with a system for shaking the plates once they have been picked up. This type of machine is particularly suitable for sludges that are difficult to filter, with long filtering times and that have the tendency to stick during opening. The automatic plate shaking system allows the sludge that has remained attached to the cloths to fall off and detach.
