How It Works

The JWI J-Press Filter Press is simple to operate. A single switch activates the pneumatic actuated hydraulic system. The plate stack forms a series of chambers, each covered with a filter cloth. With the plate stack clamped tightly in place, a solids-laden slurry is pumped, under pressure, into the plate chambers through a central feed connection. 

The plate chambers fill uniformly with solids while the pump pressure and flow keep the solids deposited on the vertical surfaces of the plate chambers. Liquid passes through the filter cloths as clean filtrate flows to the end of the press where it is collected at a common manifold. 

The solids continue to fill the plate chambers and are compacted in the press by the feed pump until the chambers are completely full. The feed cycle is discontinued and an air blow down is initiated for 5-15 minutes to remove any freestanding water within the cake and the press. The hydraulic closure of the press is then retracted, the individual filter elements are separated and the solids are discharged as "dry" filter cake to an appropriate receptacle or conveyance system.
