Recessed Plate
Recessed Plates are very important in modern filtration systems, which are designed to replace traditional filter plate and frame systems. These plates are employed in chamber filter elements working on the principles of pressure filtration aimed at efficient separation of solids from liquids. Recessed Plates come in two main versions: Open Discharge and Close Discharge; both having chamber depths between 15mm-50mm able to handle a wide range of slurries. Because of their flexibility, these features make them ideal for several industrial applications where proper filtration is necessary with good cake formation.
Features and Advantages
- 100% Virgin Polypropylene: Having been made from pure polypropylene; recessed plates have great strength as well as resistance to high temperatures during filtration.
- High Machining Accuracy: These plates are created with precision resulting in high machining accuracy and a smooth finish thereby prolonging their useful life span.
- Extended Life:The long-lasting nature of these plates whose edges have been strengthened means that they do not need frequent replacement unlike other types with weaker designs.
- Low Operation and Maintenance Cost:Unitary mold design used here means an absence of problems such as cracking, leakage or corrosions lowering costs associated with maintenance and operations respectively.
- Customizable Design: Recessed Plates are easily made to fit specific industrial needs, which makes them able to serve just about any customer segment.
- High Temperature Design: Special High Temperature Heat Stabilized materials / Glass Filled Added raw material used to make P.P. Plates which can withstand Temp. up to 100 Deg. C.
Filtration Process
The recessed plates work on the principle of pressure filtration as the chambers slowly fill up with slurry and the filter cake builds up layer by layer on the surface. The cake gets dewatered efficiently through increases in pressure inside this chamber while filtrate is captured separately. This ensures that a well-formed homogeneous filter cake is obtained which also guarantees better washing results. To increase efficiency and reduce filtration time for compressible products requiring longer filtration time, it is recommended to incorporate membrane filter elements into a mixed pack.
Applications
Recessed Plates are used in multiple industries such as; chemical processing, food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, waste water treatment, etc. They are best for cooling fluids that have high temperatures and possess a strong model of making changes whenever need arises. Whether they are solely employed or used with other membrane filter elements, recessed plates guarantee stronger filtrations that lead to top notch products at lower costs of operation.
