Filter presses to separate solids from liquids in slurries, producing a filter cake and clear filtrate. Latham International produce membrane filter presses, recessed plate presses, and plate and frame presses. Membrane filter presses use inflatable membranes for higher dryness, achieving dry matter contents from 30% to over 80%. Recessed plate presses form cakes within plate recesses, while plate and frame presses use alternating solid and hollow plates to create chambers for filtration.

  • Industrial filtration equipment for solid-liquid separation

  • Membrane filter presses achieve higher dry solids content using inflatable membranes

  • Recessed plate presses allow for individual cake thicknesses and high temperature filtration

  • Plate and frame presses use alternating plates and frames to form filter chambers

  • Shorter filtration cycles and reduced water and air consumption with membrane presses

  • Uniform cake thickness and efficient cake washing with membrane technology

  • Customisable for different applications and cake thickness requirements

Applications

  • Sewage sludge dewatering
