Tube press filter

The tube press is a membrane type filter press designed in cylindrical format and capable of operating at high filtration pressures up to 100 bar. The use of these high pressures enables a higher degree of separation of the liquid and solid phases.

Superior performance

Porosity and cake moisture contents are significantly lower than those obtained with low pressure filters. Consequently, filtrate recovery is high.

Filtration is conducted at a pressure level where the cake is produced as a hard surface dry, lump solid. Available data indicates that Tube Press output rates, in terms of dry solids per unit filter area, are much higher than either vacuum or plate filter presses. Filtrate solids concentrations are generally close to zero, allowing immediate disposal or direct recovery.

Fully automatic

Conventional filtration processes require continuous supervision and maintenance. The Metso Tube Press is fully automatic, thus, yielding big savings in the labor costs.

Variable chamber

The optimum filter cake thickness can be selected to suit operational requirements.

Flexibility

Cake wash and purge options, variable chamber depth, easily expandable plants, fits wide range of applications.
