Optimization of the filtration process using a filter cloth cleaning station

Contaminated filter cloth are causing many problems in the operation of a chamber filter press, like:

• long filtration times with moderate results
• high stream stress causes destruction of the filter cloth 
• unplanned downtime of the equipment and even
• damage at the press construction caused by differential pressure

Finally each filtration with filter cloth in bad shape costs hard cash.

The use of an automatic filter cloth cleaning station solves these problems.
The chamber filter press, using filter cloth in unchanging good shape, operates more efficiently with reduced stress for the operator.

The cleaning of the filter cloth is carried out automatically without supervision, e.g. at the weekend or in the night during downtime.

In a concrete case two chamber filter presses have been cleaned manually within 12-14 hours using high-pressure cleaner.
This day the chamber filter presses are cleaned automatically within only 3 hours per filter press.

Besides reducing the labour cost the working conditions for the operators have improved considerably.

Also it is possible to add a filter cloth cleaning stations to existing filter-, chamber filter press of all make.

There are different variants of filter cloth cleaning stations. The choice depends on available headroom, required splashguard and the desired level of automatization

We would be pleased to advise you in the choice of a suitable variant for your application.
