Abstract: A filter plate (1) comprises an opening (18) configured to receive at least one grid (2) provided within the opening (18). The at least one grid (2) comprises a body (2A) and one or more passages (2B) extending through the body (2A) for filtrate to flow through. The passages (2B) are preferably configured to allow filtrate to pass through the body (2A). The filter plate (1) may further comprise a wear detection device comprising at least one filament wire (2L) surrounding one or more passages (2B).

Abstract: A filter plate assembly [1] comprises a filter plate [100] having a recess [102], a radially-inwardly extending shelf portion [108] having a seat surface [101], and a feed eye aperture [110] extending through the shelf portion. An adapter ring [170] is placed within said recess [102]. The adapter ring [170] has a flange [172] and a barrel [179] extending from the flange [172]. The barrel [179] has an inner wall [180] and an outer wall [182], and is positioned within said aperture [110] such that the outer wall [182] of the barrel [179] is in close proximity with said aperture [110]. The flange [172] comprises an inner surface [173] which abuts the seat surface [101]. The filter plate assembly [1] further comprises a filter cloth assembly [160] comprising a filter cloth [168] having an aperture [168B], and a grommet [168A] fitted within the filter cloth aperture [168B].
