>> Verti-Press Filter
The Verti-Press EF filter, is one of the most advanced pressure dewatering filters on the market today.
It is offered in a variety of sizes to meet the needs of modern industrial processes. New larger machine sizes, combined with a new enclosed chamber design, chamber isolation capability, lowers both initial capital and operating costs. When high cake solids and/or highest wash efficiency are required, along with reliability and maintainability, the Verti-Press EF has no equal.
Features:
- Dry Cake Discharge, up to 94%
- Excellent Cake Washing, Efficiencies to 99+%
- Positive Cake Discharge, Fully Automatic
- Rapid Cycling, Highest Production Rates
- Stationary Chambers, Minimum Moving Parts
- Custom Engineered to Your Specification
- Clear filtrate
- Individual chamber isolation capabilities
- Enclosed filtrate, improved safety
Applications:
- Mineral Concentrate Dewatering
- Liquid Redox Plants-Sulfur Dewatering and Washing
- Pigment/Dye Plants Dewatering & Washing
- Chemical Plants-Calcium Carbonate, Catalysts, Silicate
- Power Plants-FGD Gypsum
- Dewatering Starch Plants- Modified Starch- Dewatering and Washing

EXTREMELY DRY CAKES
Diaphragm squeezing can produce cakes as dry as 94% solids. This is 5-50% drier than conventional vacuum filtration, plate and frame filters or belt presses.
|
 |
HIGH SPEED CYCLING
The Verti-Press can cycle as fast as five minutes - discharge to discharge. Fast cycles mean dramatically increased output per machine. |
 |
FULLY AUTOMATED
The filter cakes are carried from the filter chamber by a fiber belt. This insures that the cakes are positively discharged from the filter at every cycle. All phases of the filter function are controlled by a programmable controller to eliminate the need for a full-time operator and to minimize operating costs. |
 |
VERTICAL DESIGN
Vertical stacking of the horizontal filter chambers allows for maximum use of plant space and leads to improved cake washing efficiency. Horizontal positioning of the filter cakes insures uniformity, constant thickness, homogeneous structure and equal flow resistance.
All of these factors lead to highly efficient cake washing and minimum wash water consumption. |
 |
SINGLE POINT CAKE DISCHARGE
All of the conveyors discharge the filter cakes at one location. This greatly simplifies the cake handling requirement and allows for simpler and lower cost filter installations. |
 |
ENERGY EFFICIENT DESIGN
Filter sealing, diaphragm squeezing and retraction are done hydraulically using water as an operating fluid to minimize energy consumption. The use of costly compressed air is minimized or eliminated completely. |
 |
SIMPLIFIED DESIGN
Unlike conventional pressure filters, which require complex mechanisms to open and close the filter plates, the VERTI-PRESS has few moving parts. The filter chambers are stationary - filter sealing is accomplished simply by pressurizing the seals on each end of the filter chamber.
The only other moving parts in the filter are the diaphragm and the filter belts. All filter belts are individual and can be changed in 10 minutes or less without the need for special tools. |
 |
MINIMUM INSTALLATION COST
All filters are delivered fully assembled, pressure tested and ready for startup. No special foundations are required, reducing installation time and cost. |
 |
EFFICIENT BELT CLEANING
The VERTI-PRESS comes with an efficient belt washing system as a standard feature. All belts can be washed at each cycle, leading to longer belt life and reduced maintenance costs. |
 |
HIGHEST CAKE WASH EFFICIENCY
Due to its unique chamber design and horizontal filter chambers, the Verti-Press Filter can achieve 99% + wash efficiencies while utilizing very little wash water (typically only 3 wash displacements.) |
