The difference between plate and frame oil filter and filter press

Plate and frame oil filter press


Plate and frame oil filter press is suitable for the purification of turbine oil, hydraulic oil, lubricating oil, insulating oil and other oil products. It can remove mechanical impurities and trace moisture in the oil and improve the various properties of the oil. This machine is particularly suitable for filtering and purifying oil products containing powder-type impurities.

The equipment consists of a filter bed, filter plate, filter frame, filter paper, oil pump motor, etc. The filter plate and the frame are sandwiched with paper to filter the lubricating oil. Impurities remain on the filter paper, and the filtered solution flows out from the oil outlet. It mainly depends on the accuracy of the filter paper to achieve the purpose of filtering impurities. This machine is a small oil filter equipment.

Filter press


Filter press is mainly used for solid-liquid separation, filtering materials by pressure, and is widely used in the chemical and pharmaceutical fields. The principle is that the mixed liquid passes through the filter cloth, the solid remains on the filter cloth, and gradually accumulates on the filter cloth to form a filter cake, and the clear liquid is discharged.

Filter press can be set to slurry dehydration, extrusion dehydration, wind dehydration or single-sided or double-sided dehydration, the purpose is to minimize the water content of the filter cake. Filter press was used in the chemical industry in the early 18th century, and is still widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, metallurgical, dye, food, brewing, ceramics and environmental protection industries.


FAQ:


1. Which one is more suitable for large-scale treatment, a plate and frame oil filter or a filter press?

A filter press is more suitable for large-scale treatment because it can handle larger volumes and provide higher separation efficiency.

2. Can a plate and frame oil filter treat wastewater?

Typically, a plate and frame oil filter is mainly used for grease treatment, and has limited effect on wastewater treatment. It is recommended to use a dedicated filter press.

3. How difficult is it to maintain a filter press?

The maintenance of a filter press is relatively complex because it involves pressure control and filter cloth replacement, but its treatment efficiency and wide range of applications make it a commonly used device in industrial treatment.

4. How efficient is a plate and frame oil filter?

A plate and frame oil filter is suitable for small-scale grease treatment, and has relatively low working efficiency, but performs well in treating grease.

5. What is the cost difference between the two?

Typically, the initial investment and maintenance costs of a plate and frame oil filter are lower, while the cost of a filter press is relatively high due to its treatment capacity and complexity.

Understanding the different features and application scenarios of these two devices can help choose the most appropriate device to meet specific processing needs.

Generally speaking, both devices are used for purification by pressure, but they differ in size, specification, applicable media and application areas. Customers need to select the appropriate device according to their needs and the characteristics of the media to be treated.
