  • Publication number: 20200368646
    Abstract: An arrangement of a filter plate for a filter press and of a sealing device. The filter plate has a contact surface for contact with another filler plate, which extends in parallel to a plane formed by the filter plate, and at least one channel opening for forming a channel. The channel opening passes through the filter plate perpendicularly to the plane. Furthermore, it is delimited by a channel surface of the filter plate. The filter plate has an annular recess with a first annular boundary surface. The sealing device has an elastic ring seal and a clamping ring, wherein the elastic ring seal has a second annular boundary surface which corresponds to the first annular boundary surface, and the clamping ring can be inserted into the annular recess such that the elastic ring seal is clamped between the clamping ring and the first annular boundary surface.

  • Patent number: 9975067
    Abstract: A membrane for a membrane filter plate, having an elastic compression face and a peripheral fastening means. The membrane displays an elastic compression face and a peripheral fastening means. An opening for a fluid communication into a filter chamber is configured in the membrane. The invention furthermore relates to an arrangement of at least two filter plates of which one filter plate is a membrane filter plate having a membrane. One membrane is fastened on the first filter plate by means of the peripheral fastening means such that a compression means chamber is formed between the membrane and the first filter plate. The second filter plate bears on the first filter plate such that a filter chamber is formed between the compression face of the membrane and the second filter plate. At the periphery of the filter plates, a duct is formed between the filter plates.

  • Patent number: 7326341
    Abstract: The invention relates to a membrane filter press. On operation of such a press a secure generation of the necessary pressing pressure can be guaranteed with a membrane filter press that has at least one membrane filter plate, a baseplate with thickened edge region, a membrane made from an elastically-deformable material, and a filter cloth. The novel membrane has an annular edge bead which lies in a complementary groove on the baseplate. A sealing groove is formed into the baseplate which opens out into the first-mentioned groove at both ends in the manner of a bypass. A complementary sealing projection, moulded on the annular bead, engages in the sealing groove with formation of a seal. The cavity enclosed between the groove and the sealing groove is preferably provided with at least one filtrate drain bore.

  • Patent number: 5603827
    Abstract: A filter element, for use in a plate filter press for example, includes a membrane supported from a plate and captured, about the periphery of an opening in the plate, by a clamping ring which locates a shaped edge bead on the membrane in a complementary shaped groove in the plate. The clamping ring has a bearing surface, which contacts a surface of the membrane edge bead which is oppositely disposed with respect to the portion thereof which cooperates with the groove in the plate, having an angle of inclination with respect to the plane of the plate which directs forces produced by pressure induced expansion of the membrane to the clamping ring in a generally radial direction with respect to the axis of the opening in the plate.

  • Patent number: 4455209
    Abstract: An electrode frame for the electrolytic recovery or purification of metals comprises four frame arms (1-4). It serves to tension a filter cloth arranged on both sides of the frame plane between which the interior (5) of the frame is enclosed. In order to keep constant the tension of the filter cloths, at least one (4) of the arms (1-4) is flanked by a pressure bar (6) which extends essentially parallel thereto, is spaced therefrom and is charged with spring pressure in a direction (7) leading away from the frame interior (5).
