What Determines the capacity of a filter press
value="
The capacity of a Filter Press is determined by the following items:
*Type and preparation of feed material
*Volume of the chambers of each Filter Press
*Specific gravity of the solids being dewatered
*Percent moisture of the filter cake
*Number of filter plates
*Number of cycles per hour the Filter Press can discharge
The number of cycles is depending on the:
*Fill time
*Dewatering time
*Cake/Wash/Blow when used
*Core/Wash/Blow when used
*Open and closing time of the Filter Press
*Pump capacity (flow and pressure capabilities of the feed system)
*Feed characteristics of the material
*Size gradation, permeability, chemicals used
