MEMBRANE FILTER PLATES
Membrane Filter Plates significantly reduce the filtration cycle by aborting the non-productive phase of the pressure filtration and replace it with mechanical squeezing of the formed cake. The welded design membrane filter plates are available in »Standard welded« and »empty chamber welded« design.
MEMBRANE FILTER PLATES »STANDARD WELDED«
Klinkau Membrane Filter Plates »Standard welded« aree primarily used for applications with homogeneous chamber fillings and standard process parameters. This design requires a minimum cake thickness after squeeze of 1/3 of the initial cake thickness. The innovative combination of membrane filter plate and chamber filter plate (mixed pack) reduces the initial investment costs and guarantees excellent filtration results.
ADVANTAGES OF THE MEMBRANE FILTER PLATE »STANDARD WELDED«
Solid plastic membrane filter plate with welded membranes, thereby providing easy handling and maximum chemical resistance.
Complete separation of the membrane squeeze medium and filtrate discharge product.
Variable choice of material of construction.
Membrane corners designed with ¼ circle enable membrane movements without tension, versus chamfered radius corners. This has a positive impact on the life-span of the membrane

MEMBRANE FILTER PLATES »EMPTY CHAMBER « WELDED
Klinkau welded membrane filter plates »Empty Chamber«welded design is the type of membrane plate for more difficult applications and allows squeezing into an empty or underfilled chamber without damages to the membrane. This »Empty Chamber« system is especially suited for filtration processes with uncontrollable chamber fillings and variable batch sizes.
ADVANTAGES OF THE MEMBRANE FILTER PLATE »EMPTY CHAMBER WELDED«
The design»Empty Chamber« allows squeezing into an empty or underfilled chamber without damage to the membrane.
Solid plastic membrane filter plate with welded membranes thereby providing easy handling and maximum chemical resistance
Complete separation of the membrane squeeze medium and filtrate discharge product.
Variable choice of material of construction
 
Empty chamber welded (anti-static)
 
TECHNICAL DATA
Sizes Standard: 470, 630, 800, 1000, 1200, 1450, 1500 mm
Empty Chamber: 1000, 1200, 1500, 1,5 x 2 m
 
Different sizes available upon request
Feed eye position Standard: center feed, corner feed, external feed eye
Empty Chamber: center feed, corner feed, external feed eye
 
Different feed eye positions can be designed for individual requirements
Pressure Standard products are suited for a maximum filtration pressure of 7 bar and a maximum squeeze pressure of 16 bar.
 
Special designs for squeeze pressures of 30 bar and higher are available.
Temperature The maximum allowed filtration temperature depends on the filtration pressure, the squeeze pressure, the chemical composition of the slurry to be filtered, the cycle time, the choice of material of construction and the possibility of cooling the membrane during the filtration cycle.
Materials Klinkau Filter Plates are manufactured of different materials, such as: Polypropylene, Polypropylene Modifications, Thermoplastic Elastomeres, EPDM, NBR, PVDF and own compounds for membranes. Different materials of construction are possible as well as the combination of different material for membranes and membrane body.
