Filter Press Plate Manufacturing

Filter Plates Backed by Over 150 Years of Experience

Plate configuration--the selection of the correct filter element--is absolutely critical to filtration applications. Among determinant factors in plate configuration are cake thickness and filtration area, the temperature of the filtrate, the need (or lack of need) for temperature control, volatility of the filtrate, viscosity, and so on. The particular combination of these factors in any application will determine compatible materials of construction. Cost is also a consideration here. The multiplicity of factors inherent in any application makes flexibility of plate construction material a real advantage to anyone designing a filtration system.

At D.R. Sperry, we pride ourselves on our competitive pricing, 5-year framework warranties, superior customer service, and well-established team. We even offer fast response times and flexibility for our custom, made-to-order products perfectly tailored to your needs.

Flush Plate

Lug Plate

A special type of flush plate and frame is the lug style plate. Lug style plates are used when the application demands frequent changes of filter media (e.g. the processing of shellac), and minimize labor in that they eliminate problems of media alignment.

Recessed Plate

Leakproof Plate

A special gasketed type of recessed plate. Imperative in the filtration of volatile or hazardous materials, they are often used to reduce product loss or simply to effect a cleaner environment.

PRESSURE/TEMPERATURE CHART

The pressure chart is a guideline for filtration or wash pressures at certain temperatures.

Temperature differentials during a cycle of more than 20 degrees F can induce thermal shock and plate failure.

Chemical composition of the slurry can reduce operating parameters of filter plates. Contact the factory for chemical resistance guidance.
