Filter Presses

Filter presses are pressure-driven batch filtration systems designed to produce high-solids filter cake and clear filtrate. They are widely used in mining, wastewater treatment, and chemical processing industries.
Engineering Overview
Metzix Recessed Chamber and Membrane Filter Presses represent the gold standard for high-pressure industrial filtration. Engineered for demanding batch dewatering cycles, these heavy-duty presses apply hydraulic pressures up to 16 to 30 bar to compress slurry and squeeze out virtually all unbound moisture. The result is dry, stackable filter cakes and brilliant filtrate clarity. Featuring automatic plate shifting, integrated cloth washing robots, and programmable PLC automation, Metzix filter presses deliver industry-leading cycle times and lowest total cost of ownership.
Key Features & Engineering Advantages
