Manually-operated filter press MACSALAB Filter Press

for sludgefor laboratoryfor wastewater treatment

Overview
MACSALAB Filter Presses are used extensively in mining and metallurgical laboratories for dewatering slurries and separating solids from liquids. In operation the sample is placed in the vessel, the lid clamped shut and compressed air applied at approximately 600 kPa.

Construction
The filter presses consist of a fabricated mild-steel base and swing yoke clamp with a Grade 304 stainless steel vessel as standard. Vessels in Grade 316 stainless steel are available on special order. A quick-release air coupling and a filling/pressure-release valve are supplied as standard. The liquid drains through a discharge nozzle in the base of the vessel, leaving the dry solid inside.

Variations include

• Stands for single or multiple filter presses, with or without piping.
• Worm-gear operated swivel stands for easy discharge.
• Back-tilting swivel stands (for smaller sizes only).
