Filter Plate Selection Guide for Filter Press: Polypropylene, Cast Iron, and Membrane Plate Materials and Configurations

Home » News » Filter Plate Selection Guide for Filter Press: Polypropylene, Cast Iron, and Membrane Plate Materials and Configurations

The filter plate is the heart of any filter press. Plate material selection directly determines chemical compatibility, temperature range, and filtration performance.

Polypropylene (PP) Plates

Polypropylene plates dominate industrial filtration with pH 1-14 resistance and 80°C capability. The PP Membrane Filter Press uses membrane plates with flexible PP diaphragm that squeezes cake, achieving 30-50% lower moisture than conventional chamber plates.

Cast Iron Plates

Cast iron plates provide durability for high-temperature (150°C), high-pressure (16 bar) applications. The High Pressure Filter Press employs cast iron plates for mining and chemical processing.

Plate Design and Automation

Plate design includes gasketed and non-gasketed configurations. The Automatic Filter Press System integrates automated plate shifting. Filter cloth must match plate type. The Oil Filter Press uses specialized plates for oil purification.
