  • Waste water treatment

A filter press is used to separate liquids and solids. Slurry (a combination of solids and liquids) is fed into the machine,

after which a moving plate clamps a series of filter plates together, most commonly via a hydraulic system.

The filters are usually made from cloth, though some separation applications use paper.

The liquid contained in the slurry passes through the cloth and discharges through pipework, leaving the solids behind.

The solids form “filter cakes” in between the plates, which can then be discarded, further processed using wash liquors,

heating, vacuum,or air, leaving you with your filtered product. In some cases the filter cake is the end product,

in other cases the filtrate and it can be both filtrate and filter cake.

Medium / high capacity filter press

We manufacture sidebar, single and twin beam overhead design frameworks.

Sidebar and single beam models may have manual plate movement.

Sidebar and twin beam overhead frameworks are available with hydraulic plate shifters.

Special filter presses

Fully automatic filter presses operated by a local PLC or customers DCS close / filter and discharge cake without

operator intervention. The filters are available with a variety of protection including, polypropylene, stainless steel,

titanium cladding, full enclosure with or without venting systems. Many custom designs can be accomodated to

suit our customers’ needs. For special conditions consult with a micronics representatives.

The Rollbar filter is designed for fully automatic and unattended operation. On completion of the filtration cycle the filter automatically opens all of the filter chambers and mechanically discharges the filter cakes. Fixed guards are provided to fully enclose the machine. Contact us for your particular application.

Small to medium capacity filter presses

We produce various types of smaller filter presses to suit particular applications. These filter presses range in size

from 250mm to 930mm and can filter from 0.5 to 50cubic ft(14 to 1415liters).

Manual plate movement machines are the least expensive.

Low capacity filter presses.

Low capacity filters are available from 250mm(10") to 930mm (36") plate sizes.

These machines are an effective, inexpensive choice for handling smaller quantities of material.

Cake handling systems may be via cake carts, drum disposal systems or elevated platforms,

which allow cake to discharge over "roll off" hoppers.

These filters are available with stainless steel clad side rails with either spring return or double acting cylinders.

The closing system may be by simple hand pump, air driven/spring return or air driven close with air retract.

Smaller filters may be inexpensively clad with polypropylene or stainless steel for corrosion resistance.

Models manufactured in 100% stainless are available for food or laboratory grade applications.

Optional equipment

Automated valves, drip trays, chutes, splash guards, feed pumps and light guards are some of the many options available.

Filter press components and filter press expansion pieces.

Micronics designs and produces optional equipment for hundreds of filters. Each component is precisely engineered to fit a particular model for optimal performance and durability. Expansion pieces may be supplied with original equipment, for removal later to allow easy installation of additional plates.

Squeeze Water Skid
Membrane squeeze water skid is designed to operate with our fixed or replaceable mixed pack membrane filter presses and

provide the required squeeze pressure within the designed cycle time. The units are operated from the main control panel and

contain all the necessary interlocks for fully automatic operation.

Pneumatic Plate Shifter
Semi automatic plate shifters allow one operator to handle larger filter plates. They may be retrofit to rectangular sidebar filters or supplied with original equipment.

“Bomb Bay” drip tray doors
Supplied with filters when filtrate drips need to be contained and/or washing down of the filter cloth is expected to be part of the process.

Automatic cloth washing machines
May be installed on both sidebar and overhead model filters. PLC logic controls allow automatic plate movement and cloth washing without operator intervention.

Hydraulic Plate Shifter
Hydraulically driven plate shifter systems are available from Micronics for installation on any make of filter press,

whether overhead or side-bar design. These self contained units may be installed using a customer’s existing control and

power pack or the shifter may be purchased with a replacement power pack and/or control. Power packs can be sized to

run only the shifter system or to run the filter press, the shifter and any ancillary systems such as drip trays as well.

Filter Cake Carts
These carts can be rolled under the press during the filtration process to collect the accumulated waste (cake) for

easy disposal.
