TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
Following will be common features of filter press.

1 Filter press will be horizontal plate type. The filter press will be hydraulically opened
and closed. Filter press will be designed to efficiently dewater the slurry for handling
dry cake and will include all components necessary for complete the operation.
Plates will be mounted on tie bar located on both sides of the press. Plate will slide
smoothly on tie bar

2. The press will be fitted with a plate transport mechanism which moves the plates in
turn automatically once the moving end is retracted to its fully open position. Each plate is
moved individually without the use of interconnecting chains or cables. The plate shifting
mechanism will be fully supported and guided in a fabricated steel structure mounted
along each side of the filter press side bars. Replaceable wear strips will be provided on
side bars. Chain sprockets will run in oiltight bushings and chain tension will be fully
adjustable from one end of the mechanism. A removable fabricated steel guard on each
side will enclose the plate moving mechanism. Material of construction of shifter will be
SS304. For one man operation of the Filter Press during the emptying operation execution;

3. Plate will be rigid in construction so as to withstand fluid pressure and

hydraulic oil pressure for tightening during operation of press.

4. All the battery limit flanges will be drilled as per ANSI B16.5.

FILTER PRESS STRUCTURE

1 The Filter press frame will be designed to maintain the filter pack in a
closed position against closing force applied by hydraulic cylinder.

2 The filter press structure will consist of feed head, moving plate, end plate and tie
bars. The structure will be fabricated of structural steel IS-2062. The moving plate will be
mounted on the tie bars with the help of rollers.

3. The moving plate will be attached to the hydraulic cylinder by means of a

coupling such that the combination permits minimum misalignment between the
movable head and ram.

4 The tie bars will be constructed of IS-2062 with MS . Tie bars will be straight and rigid.
Tie bars will be keyed to the feed head and end plate.

5 The structure of the press will be fabricated of heavy duty web sections to
 8

provide adequate distribution of static loads. Bomb door drip tray will be made up
of MS and will be hydraulically operated.

6 Filtrate tray will be mounted on one side of filter press and will be constructed in
MS with suitable flanges for outlet.

FILTER PLATES
1 Filter plates will be of the center feed, four- cornered discharge
designed for operation at 15kg/cm² pressure at ambient temperature. Handles
provided on the side of the plates will support it on tie bars.

2 Recessed plates will be molded from polypropylene and will contain no

blowholes. Plates will have pips on the drainage surface so as to support the
filter cloths and will have at least four integrally molded stay bosses equally spaced on the
drain field.
FILTER CLOTH

1 Filter cloth - The filter cloths will be of polypropylene. Butterfly type.

PAINTING

Painting will be as per SAE 2 ½ standard with two coats of zinc phosphate primer
and single coat of Epoxy paint .

AIR BLOW DOWN MANIFOLD

The manifold will be designed to allow air to be blown through the press to
remove any residual moisture at the end of the filtration cycle. The filtrate
collection header will be equipped with individual manual control valves for each of the
corner discharge port. A common discharge header shall be built to collect filtrate and give
filtrate outlet at single point.

HYDRAULIC CLOSURE SYSTEM

1. The hydraulic opening and closing system will include one double acting
hydraulic cylinder and one hydraulic power pack. The system will be designed
to automatically compensate for any thermal expansion or contraction of the
plate stack as well as maintain the proper clamping force throughout the
process cycle.

2. The hydraulic cylinder will be capable of producing sufficient clamping pressure.

The cylinder will be of the tie rod design. The piston rod will be covered by
a flexible bellow to protect the rod from contamination and corrosion.

3. The hydraulic closure system will consist of an electric motor driven

hydraulic pump, control valve, hydraulic pressure relief valve, hydraulic reservoir,
and hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic closure system will be of a closed loop style.
Pressure switches will automatically control press closing pressure.

CONTROLS
1. Control Panel will be provided at closing end of filter press.

2. The Hard-ware control panel will provide manual control selector switch in whether
proof enclosure. This control panel will be suitable to IP 65. The panel will include
necessary starter, control relays, timers. All components will be prewired to a main
numbered terminal strip with wiring run neatly.

3. The Aut o Mode Sequence is as follows :

¾ Aft er sensing from lim it swit ch ( of forward) m ain cylinder, feed pum p will st art t o
feed int o t he filt er press.
¾ At preset pressure t he feed pum p will st op.
