Filter press - Efficient separation of liquid and solid material

Filter presses - efficient and reliable separation method

Filter presses are used when liquids need to be separated from solids - for example, in the chemical, metallurgical, water treatment and mining industries. The result is a dry filter cake and a liquid phase.

At Lyma we offer filter presses that combine reliability, easy handling and high filtration efficiency.

How it works

The process is simple: a pump feeds the mixture/slurry into the filter chamber of the press. The liquid passes through the filter cloths and is removed, while the solid particles remain and form the filter cake.
When the cycle is complete, the press opens and the cake is removed - either manually or automatically depending on the model.

Chamber filter presses

A proven and cost-effective solution with robust construction.
Chamber filter presses are ideal for many industrial applications thanks to their high reliability and low maintenance costs.

Membrane filter presses

For processes where extra low residual moisture is required, membrane filter presses are the right choice.
They have flexible membranes that, after filtration, press the cake mechanically with compressed air or water. The result is a more compact and dry filter cake - which increases efficiency and reduces subsequent drying.

Advantages of our filter presses

• High separation efficiency and low residual moisture
• Adaptable to different media and processes
• Possibility of fully automated operation
• Long lifetime and low energy consumption
