Plate and Frame Filter Press: Case Studies and Applications
Overview of Plate and Frame Filter Press
Plate and frame filter press is an efficient solid-liquid separation equipment, widely used in chemical, food, pharmaceutical and wastewater treatment industries. It separates the solid particles from the liquid by pressing the combination of filter plate and filter frame to ensure the quality and safety of the product.
Case Study
Case 1: Application in chemical industry
In a chemical plant, a large amount of suspension was generated during the production process, affecting the subsequent reaction and product quality. The plant introduced a plate and frame filter press set up to separate the liquid after the reaction. By operating at high pressure, the equipment effectively removed suspended matter and solid particles, separating the clear liquid, allowing for a smoother subsequent reaction and a 15 per cent improvement in the purity of the final product. In addition, the introduction of the equipment has led to an increase in wastewater treatment efficiency and a reduction in discharge costs.
Case 2: Application in food industry
A fruit juice producer uses plate and frame filter presses to treat fruit pulp. The traditional separation method was inefficient and the product often contained impurities that affected the taste. After introducing the plate and frame filter press, the enterprise was able to complete solid-liquid separation in a short period of time, ensuring that the juice was clear and pure, and the taste was significantly improved. After customer feedback, product sales increased by 20% and gained higher market recognition.
Case 3: Application in Pharmaceutical Industry
In a pharmaceutical company, solid-liquid separation of pharmaceutical raw materials is required in the production process. With the use of plate and frame filter presses, the separation efficiency of the drugs was improved and the high purity of the finished products was ensured. By optimising the operating parameters of the equipment, the company achieved an increase in the output of each batch, and at the same time reduced the loss of drugs in production, with obvious economic benefits.
Application Fields
Chemical industry: used for solid-liquid separation after chemical reaction to improve product purity.
Food industry: solid-liquid separation in the production of fruit juices, wine and dairy products to ensure product quality.
Pharmaceutical industry: solid-liquid separation in the production of drugs to ensure the safety and effectiveness of products.
Environmental protection field: used in the process of sewage treatment to remove solid particles and pollutants and improve water quality.
With its high efficiency and reliability, plate and frame filter presses provide high-quality solid-liquid separation solutions for various industries and meet the growing market demand.
