Filter Plates: Recess Plates
Recessed
Plates are designed for 7, 15, and 20 bar operation
(100/225/300psi). They are available for sidebar or overhead
press designs. Mounting hangers or side handles can accommodate
any brand of filter.
Recess Plate - Open
Filtrate:
An Open Filtrate recess plate, discharges filtrate to
either a "bib" located on one side of the
plate or via vertical holes along the underside of the
filter plate. Visible filtrate discharge from each chamber
can identify holed filter cloth or retention problems.
Recess Plate - Closed
Filtrate:
Virtually identical to the open filtrate but with the
addition of corner pads. Holes in these corners form
a pipe or tube and collect the filtrate which is discharged
to a manifold at the feed end of the filter press. Spigots
may be used to examine the filtrate externally.
Gasketted Recess Plate:
Filter cloth is installed in grooves within the plate.
Grooves containing 'O' ring around the sealing edge
and filtrate holes form a tight seal when the plate
pack is closed.
Cloth Support Patterns come in 3 distinct drainage patterns; pipped, elongated pip and grooved. Grooved drainage is more common on plate & frame installations. The higher filtration pressures used with recessed or membrane plates make a pipped design more desirable. This design provides better support for filter cloth, allowing filtrate to discharge along the base of the plate with the least resistance.
