Filter Press Machine

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.Filtration equipment is used to filter, thicken, or clarify a mixture of different elements. There are several different ways to classify products. Examples include: Driving force (gravity, pressure, vacuum centrifuge)Filter presses are used in the final phase of the Merrill-Crowe process to extract precious metals, e.g. in gold and silver mines. This is a separation technique used to remove and recover gold, silver and copper from a cyanide solution using zinc dust.
