Membrane Filter Plates

Membrane filter press plates utilize an impermeable, flexible member attached to the filter press plate core. This terminology should not be confused with sub micron "membranes" used in ultra filtration or reverse osmosis. In filter presses, a membrane, also called a diaphragm, is designed to inflate by compressed air or pressurized water to squeeze residual moisture out of the formed filter cake. Polypropylene membrane plates supplied in FILTER PRESS INDIA Filter Presses have been in use for more than ten years with significant success. Theses plates are currently in many severe applications - some operating two cycles per hour, 24 hours per day for two years - tens of thousand of cycles without failure.
