Chapter 1: Announcements
The filter press bought is Hydraulic Filter Press. It is squeezed under the pressure of hydraulic station. To safely use JX Filtration filter press , please carefully read the following in advance, otherwise it will cause serious consequences.
1.1. Safety Instruction
1.1.1.Operators must be trained to operate the machine.
Operator must know the basic operation processes and daily maintenance of filter press to avoid harm caused to workers and our product.
1.1.2.Please do not disassemble the hydraulic system and electricity system without training.
Electricity of the hydraulic system and electricity control system has high voltage, please do not disassemble them without authorization.
1.1.3.Please pay much attention to rotatable parts to prevent injuries.
Please do not touch any rotatable parts while working to avoid injuries.
1.1.4.Please wear related protective device
If your slurry is special, such as: toxic, volatile, inflammable etc, operators must wear protective devices. And please do not stand before the cylinder.
1.1.5.Safeties During Use
- As for the hydraulic station. All products do not include hydraulic oil. Here we recommend wear resistant 46# or 76# hydraulic oil. The quantity of oil needed:
| Model of Hydraulic Station | Quantity of Hydraulic Oil Needed |
| -------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
| 2.2 KW | 60 L |
| 4KW | 90L |
| 5.5KW | 150L |
| 7.5KW | 200L |
- The hydraulic oil should be changed after the first month use. Then change the oil every half year.
- Please pay much attention to the feeding pressure required. Plates are designed and recommended according to your needs, please install backflow pipe (please check 1.2.3.) to ensure the machine works under the required feeding pressure. Otherwise, the material will be ejected and plates will be damaged and might cause accident.
- The slurry before feeding into filter press should be even. Otherwise it could cause the thickness of cakes uneven, and might damage the plates.
- Please do NOT adjust the pressure meter on the hydraulic cylinder and the pressure-regulating valves on the hydraulic station personally or without permission. Otherwise, it will damage the cylinder or cause serious accident.
(2.2kw, 4.0kw, 5.5kw Hydraulic Station.)
- Specified number of plates must be placed in order and It's forbidden operating with less or more plates.
- Please ensure that plates (and frame) are in line and trim.
(Please refer to the red lines.) - Valves for filtered liquid, washing liquid and compressed air must operate according to the procedures and do NOT turn on at the same time.
- The slurry temperature must be controlled under 70℃, if it's beyond 70℃, please inform us in advance.
- While moving the plates, the force should be even and appropriate to avoid damage to plates and handles.
- After filtration every time, plates and cloths must wash clean. There should no residues on the surface, otherwise it might cause deformation.
- The filter cloth must meet requirements of slurry, otherwise, the filtrate will be not clear, or filtering speed will be too slow to get the best filtering effect.
- After a period of working, the filter cloth will be hard and their performance might decrease, so it's very necessary to conduct routine inspection. If clothes become hard, please neutralize, immerse and wash them using corresponding weak acid or alkali.
- The structure should be clean and the screw part should be lubricated with butter. The driving mechanism should keep smooth using lubrication oil. Please do not climb and strike the pipes connecting with inlet and outlet to avoid leakage at the joints.
- About related products:
Feeding Pump. The outlet pressure of feeding pump should match the required feeding pressure. Normally if the pressure is 0.1 mpa, correspondingly the head of pump should be 10 meters. For example, if the required feeding pressure is 0.6 mpa, correspondingly the head of pump should be 60 m.
The capacity pump is decided according to your needs, but a little more is recommended.
Note: In principle,we do not supply with pump.So please choose the right pump to be suitable with your slurry.
Water Pump. For membrane filter press, water pump will be used for secondary squeezing. Normally the pressure at outlet should be 0.8 mpa (Head: 80 m). (if use Air Compressor, the pressure at the outlet also should be 0.8 mpa.)
