How does a Filter Press Feed Pump work?

The Filter Press Feed Pump operates on the principle of positive displacement. It creates a steady flow of slurry by using either a reciprocating diaphragm, rotating impeller, or peristaltic action. This pumping action is crucial to maintain the pressure needed to push the slurry into the filter press, promoting efficient filtration.

Types of Filter Press Feed Pumps

Centrifugal Feed Pumps

Centrifugal Feed Pumps use a rotating impeller to increase the pressure and flow of the slurry. They are suitable for applications with low-to-medium viscosity fluids and can handle abrasive materials effectively.

Diaphragm Feed Pumps

Diaphragm Feed Pumps utilize a flexible diaphragm that moves back and forth to displace the slurry. They are known for their reliability, self-priming capability, and ability to handle corrosive and abrasive materials.

Peristaltic Feed Pumps

Peristaltic Feed Pumps work by compressing and relaxing a hose to push the slurry forward. They offer gentle pumping action, making them suitable for shear-sensitive fluids and delicate solids.

Benefits of Using a Filter Press Feed Pump

  • Ensures consistent and uniform slurry feed to the filter press.

  • Improves filtration efficiency by maintaining the required pressure.

  • Reduces downtime and increases productivity.

  • Minimizes filter cloth clogging and extends its lifespan.

  • Allows for easy control and adjustment of the feed rate.
