Features
Designed to demonstrate operation of Press & Frame Filter Press.
The unit is suitable for laboratory application, it is robust and versatile.

Tesca Plate & Frame Filter Press consists of the filter, feed pump & pipe work mounted on a floor standing stainless steel frame along with a stainless steel drip tray. The small stainless steel plate pack allows ease of handling, making teaching demonstrations more convenient. The filter pack between the end castings is made up of one end and three intermediate thick turbid frames, and one end and three intermediate filter plates. The slurry to be filtered is connected by hose to the pump suction. A hose fitted to the filter outlet takes the clear filtrate to a suitable receiving vessel. The plate pack has been designed to allow washing of the filter cake when filtering is complete. A pressure gauge situated at the filter inlet is used to monitor the filtering process. Detailed Operation & Maintenance Manual is provided along with the trainer.
