Product Definition

What Is a Filter Press Machine? How Does It Work?

A filter press machine is an industrial solid-liquid separation unit that filters liquid-solid suspensions under high pressure, separating the solid phase (filter cake) from the liquid phase. The suspension compressed between interlocking filter plates is filtered through the filter cloths on the plates; the cake remains between the plates while the filtrate is discharged.

HK Makine filter press machines are delivered as fully integrated units featuring an S355 high-strength steel frame, PP or cast iron filter plates, automatic plate clamping unit, filter cloth tensioning system and PLC automation panel.

Key advantage of filter presses: Compared to alternatives such as centrifuges and belt filters, filter presses deliver the driest cake (lowest moisture content), highest filtrate clarity and the greatest process flexibility. With membrane type presses, cake moisture can be reduced to as low as 15%.

Filter Press Types

Chamber, Membrane and Special Filter Press Types

HK Makine produces three different filter press constructions. The most appropriate type is selected based on your suspension's characteristics, target cake moisture and process flow.

Chamber (Recessed Plate) Filter Press

  • Filter chamber formed between two opposing plates
  • 6–16 bar filtration pressure applied by feed pump
  • Cake moisture 25–35%
  • Most common filter press type; wide sector use
  • PP or cast iron plate option
  • Low capital cost, high efficiency
  • Plate size: 400×400 – 1500×1500 mm

Special Sediment / Custom Design

  • Pre-sedimentation chamber for high-solid-load fluids
  • Reduces feed pump load and extends plate life
  • Lime slurry, cement, aggressive chemical applications
  • Special side or bottom-discharge plate design
  • Fully sealed gasket system for enclosed operation
  • ATEX compliant explosion-protected version available
Technical Components

Filter Press Technical Specifications & Components

Frame and Structural Body

HK Makine filter press frames are manufactured from S355 high-strength structural steel with an epoxy primer + industrial paint system for corrosion protection. Upper and lower tie rods (traverses) are sized according to the hydro-pneumatic clamping force required.

Filter Plates: PP and Cast Iron

PP (Polypropylene) Plates: Lightweight (1/5 of cast iron weight), broad chemical resistance (pH 1–14), operating range -10°C to +90°C. Recommended for most chemical and food applications.
Cast Iron Plates: Higher mechanical strength for high-pressure (16+ bar) and high-temperature (+120°C) applications.

Hydraulic Clamping Unit

The plate pack is locked by hydraulic cylinder or screw system. Automatic models include PLC-controlled pressure measurement and a safe clamping lock. Clamping force ranges from 100 to 4,000 kN.

Filter Cloth Selection

Filter cloth selection is determined by suspension particle size, pH, temperature and filtrate clarity target. PP, PE, polyester and cotton monofilament/multifilament cloth options are available. Wrong cloth selection directly affects filter performance.

PLC Automation and HMI Panel

Fully automatic models include Siemens/Mitsubishi PLC, touchscreen HMI panel, automatic plate-shifting mechanism and cake drop system as standard. Modbus/Profibus integration support for SCADA and factory automation systems.

Membrane Inflation System (Membrane Type)

In membrane presses, after cake formation membranes are inflated with compressed air (4–10 bar) or water. Membrane material options: EPDM, rubber or PP-coated PP. Typical membrane life: 200,000–500,000 cycles.

Automation Levels

Manual, Semi-Automatic and Fully Automatic Filter Press

Manual Filter Press

  • Plate clamping and opening: by hand or simple hydraulic hand pump
  • Cake discharge: plate by plate by operator
  • Low capital cost — economical for small-capacity facilities
  • No electrical panel or PLC required — simple maintenance

Fully Automatic Filter Press

  • Feed, filtration, membrane squeezing, plate opening and cake discharge — all fully automatic
  • PLC + HMI touchscreen with fully programmable cycle
  • Automatic plate-shifting and cake cutting blade system
  • SCADA integration and remote monitoring
  • 24/7 continuous operation — minimum human intervention
