How does a filter press system work?
It mechanically separates the liquid from the solid sludges/slurries/sewages. The filter press consists of metallic plates coated covered with paper, felt medium or synthetic woven material and these plates are supported by a mechanical structure.
A closure mechanism keeps sealed the plates’ faces to counteract the force of filtration (squeezing): this reduces the liquid content in the waste slurry or the solid contents in the industrial processes.

Why ARGALAIR pneumatic pumps are the ideal solutions for this process?

• They reach pressure up to 20 bar
• Low maintenance cost thanks to their few components (especially if compared to mechanical seals or packing costs)
• Simple and compact design
• The pulsating flow produces pressure peaks that keep constantly cleaned the filter screens
• Flow and pressure continuously change during the filtration process and the ARGALAIR AODD pumps are extremely versatile and able to adapt to the changing working parameters.
• ARGALAIR AODD pumps are self-priming and can run dry: a perfect solution when the filter press is blocked (often) due to the viscosities of the liquid being pumped

PUMP MATERIALS 

We offer various solutions ideal for the filter press process requirements, depending on the liquid pumped (abrasion, density, atmosphere): 


1. Stainless steel solution ensures a good mechanical strength
