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

High-pressure round filter press is a kind of intermitted filtration equipment, which can be used for wastewater treatment or suspension separation. During filtration process, solid materials become filter cakes, which are easy for treatment and transportation. Liquid can be reused or discharged. It consists of rack section, filter plates, compression part and electrical control system. During working process, slurry or suspension is sent to filter chamber by pump, and the filter press will achieve solid liquid separation by pressure difference from two sides of filter cloth. Solid materials are left between each two filter plates, and liquid discharges from drain valves. When filtration process is over, you should pull round filter plates to unload filter cakes. Filter cakes are more convenient for transportation and treatment. The round filter press is easy-to-operate, therefore, two person is enough to operate it. You can apply it to chemical industry, kaolin, ceramic industry, coal washing, papermaking and so on.

Chamber filter press with automatic plate shifter mainly consists of filter plates and hydraulic system. The filter plate is made up of reinforced polypropylene, which has stable chemical property and strong corrosion resistance. During filtration process, filter plates and filter cloth can achieve solid liquid separation. The solid materials will be left between each two filter plates and become filter cakes. The hydraulic system is mainly used for pressing and loosening filter plates. At the beginning of filter process, the hydraulic system will tightly press filter plates to form multiple filter chamber for placing solid materials. Then it will keep filter chamber in stable pressure, so as to realize dehydration. After filtration finish, the hydraulic system will loosen filter plates, automatic plate shifter will orderly pull filter plates and the filter cakes will fall down and be collected. In addition to automatic plate shifter, you can also equip chamber filter press with automatic drip tray, filter cloth washing system and automatic inclining system.

In a word, round filter press can bear higher pressure and is suitable for dealing with viscous materials. While chamber filter press is common filtering equipment, and it is widely used for wastewater treatment in various industries.
