Filter plates
For liquid filtration applications that require optimal separation of liquids and solids, top-quality filter plates team up with the right filter press cloth to provide you with the improved means to achieve top performance. Like the accompanying filter press cloth, a filter plate is not one size fits all. The ideal design and construction depends on factors such as your filter press and the liquid filtration application. It is critical to keep your filter press in optimal working condition to maximize your filter press performance.
Let the filter media specialists at Markert collaborate with you on the ideal filter plate for your application. Our team’s combined years of expertise in optimal design and materials along with working with a wide range of industries and applications will help you get the best materials for your specific filtration system.
Filter Plate Design
The foundation of Markert’s design process is laid during our on-site evaluation of your filter press. During the onsite evaluation, our experts will examine the condition of your plates and determine the design, material, and construction necessary to achieve proper cake washing, air blowing, cake release, and better cake solids. When plates are in good working condition, the proper design will also maximize the performance of your filter press cloth getting you better filtrate clarity, improved dewatering, and faster cycle times.
CGR/Gasketed Filter Plates
Gasketed plates are ideal for applications where potential wicking and leakage are unacceptable. Certain applications require a tighter and more precise fit which a gasketed plate style deliver.
Plate & Frame Filter Plates
Plate & Frame designs utilize a Drape Over cloth and are ideal for polishing applications.
Membrane Filter Plates
A membrane filter plate is equipped with an inflatable squeeze system utilizing water or air. Designs include fixed or replaceable membranes in non-mixed pack or mixed pack configurations that alternate chamber and membrane plates.
Mixed pack configurations are commonly recommended for yielding improved cake solids, cake washing, and increasing cycle times for faster output and energy cost savings
Filter Plate Materials
The majority of filter plates consist of 100% virgin polypropylene. Homopolymer and Copolymer resins are both available depending on your operation conditions. Markert’s material inventory allows us to design your filter press plate with the correct materials based on your filtration requirements.
Filter Plate Sizes
No matter the size or specifications of your filter press, Markert can get you the the filter plates you need. Our filter press plates are available in all possible sizes. Common plate sizes are 470mm, 630mm, 800mm, 1000mm, 1200mm, 1500mm, 1.5m x 2m, and 2m x 2m.
