Built-in filter cloth washing systems
Multotec’s Seprotech filter press system features a unique cloth washing system. This design features spray bars that are permanently installed at the top of every plate. The bomb-bay doors are also designed with steep angles and a sealing lip that hooks into position. This removes drippage beneath the press and accommodates the full flow during the wash cycle.
