Abstract: The filter-press includes a framework having vertical guides. On the upper ends of the vertical guides is horizontally secured a stationary thrust plate. On the same vertical guides are horizontally mounted a movable pressure platen connected with a reciprocating drive and being capable of vertically moving along said guides, as well as filter plates and frames disposed above each other between the thrust plate and the pressure platen, with the frames being located each between the neighboring filter plates. Each filter plate has vertical side boards, a sieve fixed on the upper butt ends of the side boards and a sieve fixed on the lower butt ends thereof. Mounted on the side boards between the sieves is a horizontal partition dividing the inner space of the filter plate into an upper cavity and a lower cavity. Between said frames and filter plates is passed in zigzags an endless filter band connected with a stepping drive and running round each filter plate from above and from below.
