What’s the difference between chamber filter press and membrane filter press?

Chamber filter press and membrane filter press are common filtering equipment. Both of them are widely used in wastewater treatment of different industries. Chamber filter press is suitable for various industries, such as mining, coal-washing industries, chemical industry and so on. Membrane filter press is popular in industries that have strict or higher requirements on moisture of filter cakes, such as municipal wastewater treatment.

Differences between chamber filter press and membrane filter press

1. Filter cakes: chamber filter press adopts chamber filter plates, while membrane filter press uses both chamber filter plates and membrane filter press. And they are alternate arrangement.
2. Membrane filter press has “the secondary filtration”, while chamber filter press haven’t. After filtration, the membrane filter plates will be aerated, and plates will expand to press filter cakes again, so as to reduce moisture of filter cakes.

That is to say, if you want to get better dehydration effect, membrane filter press will your best choice. At the same time, chamber filter press can meet common requirements in different industries.
