Capabilities

**Membrane Filter Press Overview**

Industries & Uses

These RITTERSHAUS & BLECHER membrane filter presses separate solids from liquids by forcing slurry through a series of chambers under high pressure. With 100m² of filtration surface and 53-74 chambers per unit, they handle substantial volumes efficiently. The variable usable lengths (4,500-7,000mm) allow flexibility for different production scales. Multiple units available means you can match capacity to your operation's needs.

What to Check When Buying

**Who Uses These Machines**

Industries relying on filter presses include wastewater treatment facilities, mining and mineral processing, chemical manufacturing, food and beverage production, pharmaceutical companies, and paper mills. Any business generating sludge or needing liquid-solid separation benefits from this equipment. It's essential for environmental compliance and product quality across these sectors.

**What to Check Before Buying**

Given the 1988 manufacture date, prioritize inspecting the membrane plates for cracks, warping, or seal degradation—these are costly to replace. Request complete maintenance records and verify the hydraulic system's condition, as repairs are expensive. Check that all 53-74 chambers operate correctly and confirm the filtration surface hasn't been damaged. Review documentation thoroughly and, if possible, observe a test cycle to ensure consistent pressure and cake discharge.
