Filtration is a separation
procedure which separates the solid and liquid phases of a suspension.
The suspension which has to be filtered is normally pumped into
the filter press from a nearby collector vessel. The filling procedure
and suspension pre-treatment which are used in the filtration
process are selected as required by the specific application.
In a chamber filter press, throughput
through the filter is high at the geginning and then decreases when
the filter cake begins to form. When a certain filter cake thickness
is attained, the throughput drops off to a very low level.
At the membrane filtration, both
the filling process and the duration of pressure application are
fundamentally different from those used at chamber filter presses.
In membrane filter presses, filling is stopped when a defined inlet
pressure level is attained. Pressure is then applied by membranes
to effect solid/liquid separation. Different design versions and
filter plates sizes are available as described in our Technical
Data Sheets.

KFP with Reaction Container
Compact units are facilities at
which the pump is direct connected with the press as an unit. This
kind of facilities are very customer-oriented and easy to handle.
They are mostly used in smaller Enterprises were is less space.
