Filter Press Price: What Decides the Cost, and How to Get a Quotation
Short answer: a filter press is priced by its configuration, mainly plate size and plate count, membrane or chamber plates, cloth, and the level of automation. We do not publish a price list; send your slurry details and we email a factory quotation for the press that fits.

Why there is no price list
Two presses with the same plate size can differ a lot in price: one may have more plates, membrane squeeze plates, automatic plate shifting and cloth washing, the other a basic manual chamber pack. A single list price would mislead, so every quotation is built for the duty.
Cost factors
- Plate size and number of plates: the filtration area, and so the batch volume, is set by plate size and plate count. It is the biggest single driver.
- Membrane or chamber plates: membrane (squeeze) plates cost more than plain chamber plates but press more water out of the cake. A mixed pack is common.
- Plate and frame materials: plate polymer grade, frame steel and coating, and any stainless parts for corrosive or food-grade duty.
- Filter cloth: cloth type (non-woven or monofilament) is chosen for your particle size and cake release; spare cloth sets add to the order.
- Automation: hydraulic closing, automatic plate shifting, PLC control, and options such as cake washing, cloth washing or a drip tray.
- Ancillaries: feed pump, squeeze-water or air system, platforms and conveyors are quoted separately if you need them.
- Quantity, packing and destination: number of units, export packing and the delivery terms you ask for (factory, port of loading or your port).

Frequently asked questions
What is the price of a filter press?
It depends on plate size and count, membrane or chamber plates, cloth, automation and delivery terms. We do not publish prices; send your slurry details and we email a factory quotation.
What is the filter press price in India?
We quote the press itself, and for India the quotation can include sea freight to Nhava Sheva / Mundra. Import duty, GST and inland transport are added under Indian rules. Send your details for a quotation.
Why does a membrane filter press cost more than a chamber filter press?
Membrane plates have a flexible squeeze membrane and need a squeeze-water or air system, so they cost more than plain chamber plates. In return they press more water out of the cake.
How quickly will I get a quotation?
We email a quotation, usually within 24 hours.
Do you quote filter plates and filter cloth separately?
Yes. Send the plate size, plate type and quantity, or the cloth size and type, and we quote spare plates and cloth by email. See filter press spare parts.
