Filter Press Plates

  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.
