Abstract: 1,156,054. Operating a filter press. U. PASSAVANT A.G. [trading as PASSAVANTWERKE]. 24 June, 1966 [25 June, 1965], No. 28500/66. Heading B1D. During the filtering part of the operating cycle of a filter press 1, slurry is delivered to inlet 11 of the press by a pump 3 while some slurry is withdrawn from aperture 13, causing a flow of slurry through the aligned delivery apertures of the press plates which prevents their becoming clogged. In Fig. 1, aperture 13 communicates by flexible pipe 14 with a container 16 containing gas under pressure, and inlet 11 and aperture 13 are respectively located in the fixed and movable heads of the press. The press is filled by opening valves 5, 10, 15, pump 3 and the gas in container 16 forcing slurry in from both ends. As the pressure rises, pump 3 begins to force slurry back into container 16 again, compressing the gas. Valve 15 is closed and valves 7, 10 opened before opening the press. In other embodiments, not illustrated, container 16 may be replaced by another pump, or a press may be filled from the centre with a container 16 at each end or may be filled from both ends with container 16 connected -to a central plate. Container 16 may hold 20-300% of the filling volume of the press. In Fig. 2 (not shown), the container moves. with the movable head of the press. In Fig. 3 (not shown), there is a system (27 . . . 32) for applying filter aid to the press .plates before filling with slurry. Residual compressed air from the filter aid tank is delivered to container 16 to assist in filling the press. A manometer (24), connected across the ends of the press, opens a short circuiting valve (23) if clogging causes a sufficient differential pressure, so that the press is thereafter filled from both ends and filter plate fracture avoided.
