Recessed Filter Plate (Zero Leakage)

The recessed chamber filter plate made from polypropylene is a development of the plate and frame filter plate and has the same functionality.

The chamber plate frame is however integrated within the chamber filter plate thus significantly enhancing the plate's stability. This enables chamber filter plates to be used at much higher filtration pressure levels. Optional cake and plate thicknesses are available depending on the specific filtration conditions and application. Amar Plastics chamber filter plates can also be supplied in caulked and gasketed design (CGR). The chamber filter plates are made of plastic and feature excellent chemical resistance and simple handling.

Advantages of chamber filter plates

Single element and therefore cheaper than separate plates and frames
Filtration pressures of up to 50 bar
Suitable for high filtration temperatures
Robust design with reinforced edges
The recessed filter has a special pipped surface to protect the filter cloth and ensure excellent filtration

Chamber filter plate HR Design

The design and manufacturing method for the HR gives a low-cost alternative to standard chamber filter plates. It is available in sizes 470mm, 500mm, 630mm, 800mm and 1000mm, and up to a maximum filter cake thickness size of 32mm.

Technology

In a conventional chamber filter press, filter cake is formed in layers until the chamber is full with solid matter. As the filter cake forms, its permeability and flow rate decrease as the solid content increases within the chamber and the cake becomes increasingly drier.

Compressible products reduce cake permeability to a disproportionate degree, which can lead to longer filtration cycles and thus higher operating costs. Inefficient filtration cycle times can be avoided by using membrane filter plates.
