The Differences Between Membrane and Chamber Filter Presses

Membrane filter presses and chamber filter presses are two common types of solid liquid separation equipment. So, what are the differences between these two types of filter presses? Quanhong Filtration has made a simple summary and would like to share it with you.

Chamber filter presses are composed of neatly arranged filter plates, with each pair of plates forming an independent filter chamber. Their structure is relatively simple. Membrane filter presses, on the other hand, are based on chamber filter presses but add a secondary squeezing function, making their structure more complex. Chamber filter presses are suitable for non-viscous materials and have relatively high efficiency. Membrane filter presses, with their secondary pressing function, are suitable for difficult-to-treat materials and can produce drier filter cakes.

In summary, chamber filter presses have a simple structure and low operating costs, but their filtration effect is relatively low. Membrane filter presses have a high initial investment cost, but they are highly efficient in filtration and have lower operating costs. Chamber filter presses are the preferred choice for basic filtration, while membrane filter presses are a must for specific fields. So, how would you choose between membrane filter press and chamber filter press?
