How the PT-FP-1500R works

  1. Press: the twin 320 mm hydraulic cylinders clamp the 120 round plates together and seal the chambers. The hydraulic station presses, holds and re-presses automatically.
  2. Feed: a high-pressure pump feeds the slurry into the chambers at up to 2.0 MPa. The filtrate passes the filter cloth and leaves through hoses on both sides (open flow), while the solids build up as cake.
  3. Open and discharge: the press opens and the plate shifter pulls the plates one by one, so the cake drops out.
  4. Repeat: the press closes for the next cycle. Feeding, plate shifting, discharge and filtrate collection are PLC-controlled.

Design features

  • Enclosed plate shifter: the plate-shifting system (motor, plate puller, sprockets, chain, chain trough and guard) is enclosed, so cake residue cannot fall into it. It stays clean and runs smoothly during discharge.
  • Variable-speed plate shifting: a 1.1 kW cycloidal geared motor on a variable-frequency drive runs a multi-speed sequence: slow approach, fast pull, slow stop, with overload detection. The drive monitors motor current and speed.
  • Protected control cabinet: PLC, breakers, contactors and relays, with power protection against current surges and voltage fluctuation to protect the PLC.
  • Round high-pressure plates: Ø1500×75 mm plates made of new high-pressure engineering plastic with no filler added.
  • Frame: thrust plate, pressing plate, base, cylinder body and main beams on a Q235 steel frame; stainless steel plate-shifting trolley track.

Warranty, installation and training

  • Warranty: main unit and filter plates, 12 months from delivery. Wear parts and damage caused by misuse or incorrect operation are not covered.
  • Installation and commissioning: our technicians give on-site installation guidance and commission the press.
  • Operator training: free on-site training on the working principle, structure and maintenance, electrical control and operation, so your team can run the press and handle common faults.
  • After-sales: during the warranty we respond by phone or WhatsApp; if a fault cannot be solved remotely, a technician can be sent to site. For overseas projects, installation and service terms are agreed separately in the contract.

Where is it used?

Dewatering kaolin slurry and wastewater sludge. In a kaolin line it comes after desanding and wet magnetic iron removal. Related equipment: filter-press feed pumps and plunger pumps (Magnet China) · kaolin processing line (Magnet China).

Filter press: frequently asked questions

What is a round-plate high-pressure filter press?

It is an intermittent pressure filter for solid–liquid separation. The hydraulic system clamps a pack of round filter plates, a high-pressure pump feeds the slurry into the chambers, the filter cloth holds back the solids as cake and the filtrate drains away. The PT-FP-1500R has 120 round plates of Ø1500×75 mm and takes feed pressure up to 2.0 MPa.

How much cake does the PT-FP-1500R make per cycle?

The rated output is 10–12 t of filter cake per cycle. The real figure depends on your slurry, so it is confirmed for each project.

How is it different from the PTMS-FP-1250?

The PTMS-FP-1250 is a membrane press with square 1250×1250 mm plates and a squeeze stage. The PT-FP-1500R uses 120 round Ø1500 mm high-pressure plates, removes water by feed pressure up to 2.0 MPa, and shifts the plates automatically with an enclosed plate shifter.

What is included in the supply?

The press, 120 filter plates, hydraulic station, control cabinet with PLC programming, enclosed plate-shifting system, 240 filtrate hoses, 120 non-woven filter cloths, 120 cloth clamps and a lock-nut wrench. The feed pump is quoted separately.

What is the warranty?

The main unit and the filter plates are covered for 12 months from delivery. Wear parts and damage caused by misuse or incorrect operation are not covered.

Do you provide installation and training?

Yes. Our technicians give on-site installation guidance, commission the press and train your operators free of charge on operation, routine maintenance and basic troubleshooting. For overseas projects, installation and service terms are agreed separately in the contract.

What is the price of the PT-FP-1500R filter press?

We do not publish prices. The quotation depends on the plate pack, filter cloth, automation, feed pump and delivery terms. Send your slurry details and destination port for a factory quotation by email.

PT-FP-1500R filter press price: what decides the cost

We do not publish a price list, because the price follows the configuration:

  • Plate pack: number of plates and plate type.
  • Filter cloth: cloth type for your slurry, and spare cloth sets.
  • Automation and controls: PLC programme, plate shifting and any options you ask for.
  • Feed pump and ancillaries: feed pump, conveyors and platforms, if needed.
  • Quantity, packing and destination: number of units, export packing and delivery terms (factory, port of loading or your port).

What to send for a quotation

  • Slurry type and solids content
  • Cake output needed per day
  • Target cake moisture or use of the cake
  • Destination country and port
