Filter Press Options

Longer Legs and Sludge Disposal Chute for Filter Presses

Met-Chem can provide longer legs and a disposal chute on your new filter press. This is especially useful if you are releasing the sludge from the press into a sludge bag or a drum. The chute will direct the sludge directly into your container. If you plan to use a sludge disposal bag, we can add hooks to the chute so that the sludge bag can be hung from the frame of the press.

Filter Press Plate Shifters

Our standard filter presses can be operated manually. However, Met-Chem manufactures four types of filter press plate shifters to make operating your filter press easier, safer and more efficient. Manual filter presses require more time and attention than the same filter press with an automatic plate shifter.

• Semi-Automatic
• Pendant
• Fully Automatic
• Super Shifter

Phases of Membrane Filter Press Cycle

1 - Filling Stage

Filling Stage: The Mash enters the chambers through a feed pump.

2 - Filtration Stage

Filtration Stage: Once the chambers are full, the Mash that is being pushed by the feed pump will force the Wort out from the chambers. The Filter Plates and Filter Cloths will capture the Mash Grains.

3 - Compression Stage

Compression Stage: Once the feed pressure has cycled out, the system will be closed and the membrane squeeze will begin. Water or Air is pumped behind the membrane bladders. This compress the mash grains inside the chambers and forces out more Wort.

4 - Draining Stage

Draining Stage: Once the compression stage is complete. The Water or Air will drain from the Mash Filter.

5 - Discharge Stage

Grain / Cake Discharge Stage: Each chamber is opened up for cleaning and the grain is discharged.
