Filter Plates
Micronics prides itself
on providing Filter Plates and related accessories for
many industries. Below are some common types of Plates. In addition,
we have links to more Filter Plate literature at the bottom of
the page.
Recess Filter Plates
There are 3 basic types of Recess Plates; Open Filtrate, Closed Filtrate,
and Gasketted. They are available for sidebar or overhead press designs.
Mounting hangers or side handles can accommodate any brand of filter.
Membrane Filter Plates
Membrane Filter Press Plates are used to reduce the cake moisture
content or shorten the filtration cycle time. They may be retrofit
to existing filters. There are two types; fixed and replaceable.
Vacuum
Membrane Filter Plates
Vacuum Filter Plates are similar to membrane filter plates but designed
to operate at elevated temperatures. After filtration the chamber
below the drainage surface is inflated with hot water. A vacuum is
then applied within the filtration chamber and draws out moisture
to produce a "bone
dry" filter cake.
Plate
& Frame
Plate & Frame filter plates are the oldest design and the predecessor
to recessed plates. The chamber is formed by a flat plate on each
side of a frame. Cake is collected in the frame. This type of plate
is usually used for polishing applications when filtration area is
more important than volume.
