Plate and Frame Filter Press
Plate and Frame Filter Press is a historical term for modern day industrial filter presses used in mineral processing. Plate and frame filter press from Multotec, therefore, while based on the reliable and time-honoured design of the original plate and frame filter press, are designed to suit the 21st century environment and mineral processing applications. Filter presses from Multotec contribute to lowering your overall cost per ton processed.
Plate and frame filter presses are designed so that the separating chambers consist of one hollow filter frame separated from two filter plates by filter clothes. Filter cloth for plate and frame filter presses from Multotec are stronger, more durable, high-performing cloths that can be customised for your exact application requirements.
