How to Solve the Sticky Filter Cake Issue in press filter?

Choose the Appropriate Filter Aid
Choose a suitable filter aid based on the characteristics of the sludge and specific dewatering requirements. It is essential to pay attention to both the dosage and application method of the filter aid, ensuring thorough mixing with the sludge.


Increase Sludge Solid Content
Increase the solid content of the sludge through processes such as concentration and sedimentation. Reducing the water content of the sludge helps shorten dewatering time and improve dewatering efficiency.


Choose the Right Filter Cloth Material and Regular Cleaning
Select the appropriate filter cloth material based on the properties of the sludge and dewatering requirements. For highly sticky sludge, choose filter cloths with high tensile strength and good abrasion resistance. Furthermore, regular cleaning of the filter cloth is crucial to prevent residual materials from clogging its pores.


Optimize Operating Parameters
Optimize the operating parameters of the plate and frame dewatering machine based on the properties of the sludge and dewatering requirements. For example, increase pressure, extend filtration time, etc., to improve dewatering performance.


Enhance Equipment Maintenance and Upkeep
Regularly maintain and service the press dewatering filter, checking that all components are in good condition and the machine is operating normally.
