Klinkau manufacture plate and membrane filters for batch filter presses ranging from 400mm square up to 2000mm square.

The plates are available in a range of drain and feed configurations, and are manufactured from hard wearing plastic materials suitable for applications ranging from industrial waste filtering through to food grade applications.

Plates can be retrofitted to most existing presses with either top hanging, or side hanging plates.


They also offer a special anti static plastic material, which can cause problems with some plate/cloth combinations.

Benefits of selecting Filter Press  Dewatering Plant incorporating Membrane Filter Plate Technology:
•    High solids content cake - up to 50 % dry solids on municipal sludge and 60 % plus on some other process dewatering applications resulting in:
    Higher solids recovery and clearer filtrate.
    More compact easily handled cakes significantly lowering sludge handling, transportation and disposal costs.
•    Using membrane filter plate technology results in reduced cycle times – cost effective mixed plate configuration.
•    Robust and reliable design – minimising maintenance costs.
•    No rotating parts means lower running costs and power consumption.
