Filterpresses

What is a filter press?

An industrial filter press is a type of equipment that is used to separate solids and liquids through a filtration process. It works by applying pressure to a slurry, a mixture of solid particles suspended in a liquid, which forces the liquid to pass through a series of filter plates, leaving the solid particles behind. The purified liquid is then collected, while the solid particles, or cake, are retained within the filter press.

Industrial filter presses are used in a variety of industries, including mining, chemical, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and wastewater treatment. They are particularly useful for applications where large volumes of slurry need to be processed, and for separating solids with a high degree of accuracy.

At Foeth we offer a wide range of filter press types/brands. They all have different capacities to suit specific application needs.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of filter presses?

There are several advantages to using an industrial filter press. One of the main benefits is their high efficiency and capacity, which makes them well-suited to large-scale operations. They are also relatively simple to operate, requiring minimal operator intervention. Additionally, filter presses are able to produce a high-quality filter cake, which can be further processed or sold as a byproduct.

However, there are also some potential drawbacks to using an industrial filter press. One of the main limitations is the initial cost of purchasing a new filter press and installing the equipment, which can be high. When buying a second-hand filter press the costs are significantly lower.

Let us inform you about all the pros and cons and what the few key things are to keep in mind. Like the quality of our second-hand machines. You are not purchasing just a filter press, you are purchasing a Foeth process machine, which is in good working order and will be fully mechanically tested prior to delivery!
