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.
