Upper Feed Diaphragm Plates
Our upper feed diaphragm plates are uniquely designed to optimize the filtration process. By allowing liquid to enter from the top, these plates ensure an even distribution of feed, reducing localized pressure on the filtration medium. Ideal for industries such as chemicals, food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, and environmental applications, they are engineered to deliver superior dewatering performance while maintaining ease of maintenance and long-term durability.
Key Features
✅Innovative Design
- Top-Entry Feeding System: Liquid enters from the top of the diaphragm plate, promoting even distribution and reducing localized pressure on the filter media
- Flexible Membrane Structure: The core component is an elastic membrane, typically made of rubber or similar flexible materials, that deforms under pressure to optimize solid-liquid separation
- Reinforced Framework: Enhanced with a strengthening frame that provides additional structural integrity and stability during high-pressure operations
✅Material Excellence
- Membrane Materials: Constructed with chemical-resistant and high-temperature tolerant rubber compounds including natural rubber, nitrile rubber, or EPDM rubber
- Frame Construction: Typically manufactured from stainless steel or other corrosion-resistant materials to ensure durability in harsh environments
- Customizable Options: Available in various materials to match specific industry requirements and chemical compatibility needs
✅Performance Benefits
- Superior Efficiency: Membrane pressing significantly increases the dewatering rate of solid particles
- Uniform Distribution: Even liquid distribution across the filter media reduces localized wear and extends operational life
- Maintenance-Friendly: Designed for easy disassembly and cleaning
- Exceptional Durability: High-quality materials and structural design ensure reliability and longevity

Common Questions
Have More Questions? Our technical team is ready to provide detailed, personalized guidance.
Q1: How does top-feed design improve filtration efficiency?
Gravity-assisted distribution reduces pump energy costs by 15-20% while preventing media clogging.
Q2: What makes upper feed diaphragm plates different from standard filter plates?
Upper feed diaphragm plates feature a top-entry feeding system and flexible membrane that enables additional compression of the filter cake, resulting in higher dewatering efficiency compared to standard plates.
Q3: How often should diaphragm plates be replaced?
Under normal operating conditions, diaphragm plates typically last 3-5 years. However, this can vary depending on the application, operating conditions, and maintenance practices. Regular inspection is recommended to determine replacement timing.
Q4: What cake dryness can be achieved?
85-95% solids content depending on material characteristics and pressure configuration.
Q5: What industries benefit most from upper feed diaphragm plates?
Industries requiring high filtration efficiency, thorough dewatering, and processing of difficult-to-filter materials benefit most, including chemical manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, food processing, and environmental applications.
Q6: What maintenance procedures are critical for extending plate life?
Regular cleaning, proper membrane care, scheduled backwashing, proper storage, and prompt replacement of worn components are essential for maximizing service life.
