Plate and frame filter presses use an alternating arrangement of solid filter plates and hollow frames to form chambers for solid-liquid separation. The slurry is pumped into the cavities created by the frames, where filter cake builds up while filtrate passes through the filter cloth and exits via channels within the plates. This simple open-chamber design allows for flexible cake formation and easy adaptation to a wide range of filtration duties.
