HDLY Automatic Vertical Press Filter incorporates technologies from domestic and international press filters. It is widely used for solid-liquid separation through washing, filtering, and dewatering processes across multiple industries including non-ferrous metals, smelting, chemical processing, coal beneficiation, food production, porcelain manufacturing, paper production, sugar refining, dye processing and wastewater treatment.

Lower Moisture Content in Filter Cake

Max. pressure 1.6 MPa with Min. moisture content ≤ 10%

6X

Capacity vs. Plate-and-Frame Filter Press (Same Filtration Area)

All six working processes operate automatically and continuously, delivering over 6 times the production capacity per unit area compared to frame filter presses.

Compact Structure

The four-column vertical design requires minimal floor space, enabling facility upgrades with reduced or zero additional plant investment.

Self-Cleaning Filter Cloth

The filter cloth features alternating washing on both surfaces with excellent cleaning results. Its horizontal placement ensures uniform cake thickness up to 45mm.

Touchscreen control panel for the pressure filter

Advanced Automation

The system operates fully automatically via control panel, equipped with self-diagnostic and automatic alarm functions.

From Slurry to Dry Cake
Fully Automated.

The main processes of HDLY Automatic Vertical Press Filter include: feed-in, diaphragm squeeze, washing (optional), and air drying.

4 Stages

Short Process

Filtering → Squeeze → Drying → Discharging (Excludes washing steps)

6 Stages

Complete Process

Filtering → 1st Squeeze → Washing → 2nd Squeeze → Drying → Discharging

Filtrate
Filtering stage cross-section
Slurry

Filtering

Filtering

When the frame assemblies close, slurry flows through the feed pipe into each filter chamber. The filtrate penetrates the filter cloth into the filtrate chamber, then passes through the flexible filtrate tube before being discharged via the filtrate header.

Squeeze I stage cross-section
High Pressure Water

Squeeze I

Squeeze I

High-pressure water is pumped through the flexible pipe to the top of the diaphragm, applying squeezing pressure. This forms the filter cake between the diaphragm and cloth while forcing the filtrate out of the cake.

Washing Liquid

Cake Washing

Cake Washing

Wash liquid is pumped into the filter chamber through the same manifold pipe used for slurry. As the chamber fills completely with wash liquid, the diaphragm lifts to expel the high-pressure water above it. The wash liquid then flows through the filter cake and cloth before exiting via the discharge pipe.

Squeeze II

Any remaining wash liquid in the chamber after washing is expelled using the same method as the first squeeze.

Air

Air Drying

Air Drying

Compressed air is introduced into the filter chamber through the manifold pipe, filling the chamber and raising the diaphragm before being discharged. The air passing through the cake reduces the moisture content to the optimal level and also empties the filtrate chamber.

Cake Discharge

Discharging

After the drying process is complete, the frame assemblies open, and the cloth drive units start operating. The filter cake on the cloth is then discharged from both ends of the filter.
