Chamber Filter Plate, Chamber Plate

Chamber filter plate is a modification of filter plate and frame. Two compacted plates create an individual chamber; filter cake produces on the plates in layer form. As the thickness of the cake increases, the permeability and flow rate decreases causing longer filtration cycles and higher operation costs.
during the later stage of filter cycle, high feed pressure is employed to dry the filter cake and this dewatering period is quite long. This period is usually called non-productive phase.
chamber filter plates used alone are suitable for general applications where strict requirement of cake dewatering is not high.
however, combination of chamber plate and membrane plate will effectively shorten the filter cycle and save operation cost.
features
conical pips in recessed area not only support the filter cloths but also provide a drain path for the filtrate.
Diverse feeding methods satisfy different purposes, such as center feed, head feed, foot feed, corner feed and external feed. Other special feed arrangements can be customized for practical purposes.
High pressure filtration makes the percentage of moisture of the cake far lower.
Maximum filtration pressure is rated at 7 bar (101 psi) or 16 bar (232 psi).
Maximum working temperature is up to 120°c。
construction
chamber recessed filter plate is a solid plate. It typically consists of feeding hole, filtering area, drain hole, sealing edge, and hard-point. The number of hard points depends on the thickness of the plate. Feed position is not fixed. Five types of feed position – central, corner, external, head and foot. The sealing edge is machined parallel to seal when the plates are pressurized.
material
polypropylene or pp is a frequent raw material of filter plate. It has chemical inertness, high resistance against oxidation, corrosive media and high temperature, light weight and high strength.
