Filter Press

a filter consisting usually of a series of rigid corrugated plates with intervening filter medium (as cloth) assembled in a framework so that the suspension to be filtered can be forced under pressure into the assembled press and the solids can collect as cake between the plates see plate-and-frame filter.A filter press is a piece of equipment used in liquid/solid separation. Specifically, the filter press separates the liquids and solids using pressure filtration, wherein a slurry is pumped into the filter press and is dewatered under pressure.The filtration process in a filter Press machine gives a high level of purity to its products. In the Pharma Industry, it is mainly used to produce vaccines, plasma, and serum. Low-shear pumps can reduce the shear denaturation of goods in ultrafiltration. The membranes used in this process are asymmetric in shape.
