Filter clothes are present inside the chambers through which the liquid passes through, and the the filtered liquid is collected in a tank. This type of equipment is highly easy to use and can be adjusted as per the user's requirement. Here are some of the detailed specifications of a filter press:
Filter Presses are assembled with different kinds of plates such as:
