Recessed Chamber Filter Press: The Industrial Standard for High-Efficiency Dewatering
We specialize in manufacturing high-performance Recessed Chamber Filter Presses that deliver the driest possible filter cake. Combining deep application expertise with robust in-house manufacturing, Loway Equipment provides reliable, customized dewatering systems for the world's most demanding industries.
A recessed chamber filter press operates on a batch principle, using a series of recessed plates to form pressurized chambers. Under high pressure, slurry is pumped in, separating solids from liquid with exceptional efficiency.
Our presses are engineered for this core task, featuring:
- High-Pressure Capabilities: Standard 0.6 MPa up to 2.5 MPa (25 bar) for maximum cake density.
- Fully Automated Controls: Integrated Siemens/Schneider PLC with HMI for one-button operation.
- Robust Construction: Main beam fabricated from Q345B Carbon Steel for extreme durability.
Loway Filter Press: Robust. Reliable. Cost-Effective.
✅ Superior Separation Performance
High-strength filter plates combined with precision filter cloths create sealed filtration chambers under high pressure. Effectively captures fine solid particles, producing high-quality filter cake with moisture content typically 30%-60% (depending on material properties) and crystal-clear filtrate.
✅ Powerful Processing Capacity
Modular design supports flexible expansion of filtration area, easily handling different scales of industrial solid-liquid separation requirements for both large-scale continuous production and batch processing.
✅ Wide Material Adaptability
The core advantage lies in universality. Whether mining tailings dewatering, chemical catalyst filtration and recovery, municipal sewage treatment plant sludge deep dewatering, or fine material filtration in food and pharmaceutical industries, Loway chamber filter presses operate reliably.
✅ Durable and Easy Maintenance
Main frame constructed with high-quality steel, key components like filter plates and hydraulic systems carefully manufactured to ensure long-term stable operation under harsh conditions. Simple daily maintenance operations like filter cloth replacement and plate cleaning effectively reduce equipment lifecycle costs.
✅ High Economic Efficiency
Relatively simple structure with energy consumption mainly concentrated in hydraulic compression and plate pulling discharge processes. Compared to complex models, initial investment and maintenance costs are more advantageous, making it the preferred choice for users seeking cost-effective solid-liquid separation equipment.
✅ Safe and Stable Operation
Equipped with reliable hydraulic locking and electrical protection devices (overpressure protection, travel limits, etc.), ensuring operator safety and smooth equipment operation.
Engineered for Operational Excellence
High-Pressure Filtration Technology
We don’t settle for standard pressure. Our reinforced plate design allows for feed pressures up to 2.5 MPa (25 bar).
- The Benefit: Higher pressure means faster filtration cycles and harder, drier cakes, significantly reducing your sludge disposal and transport costs.
Premium Filter Plate Construction
A filter press is only as good as its plates.
- Material: We use Virgin Polypropylene (PP) with acid/alkali resistance.
- Structure: Optimized “Diamond + Strip” pips pattern ensures smooth filtrate drainage and prevents blockage.
- Precision: CNC-milled sealing surfaces (flatness ≤0.1mm) guarantee zero leakage during operation.
Heavy-Duty Structural Frame
Built to last in harsh environments.
- Main Beam: Fabricated from solid Q345B Carbon Steel using automatic submerged arc welding.
- Treatment: Sandblasted to Sa 2.5 and coated with 3 layers of marine-grade epoxy paint for superior corrosion resistance.
- Safety: Designed with a 2.0x safety factor to withstand massive hydraulic closing forces.
A Partnership Built on Performance
- Proven Results: Demonstrated success in delivering drier cakes and lower operating costs globally.
- Application Expertise: We don’t just sell machines; we analyze your sludge to design the optimal system.
- End-to-End Support: From pilot testing and process design to installation supervision and lifetime spare parts supply.
Intelligent Automation Options
From manual operation to fully unmanned systems, configure the press to your labor budget.
Feature | Description | Benefit |
PLC Control System | Integrated Siemens/Schneider PLC with HMI Touch Screen. | One-button operation. Controls pump feeding, pressing, and discharge automatically. |
Auto Plate Shifter | Hydraulic or motor-driven mechanism to open plates one by one or in groups. | Saves Labor. Eliminates the heavy lifting for operators and speeds up the discharge cycle. |
Auto Cloth Washing | High-pressure water spray bar (50-80 bar) cleans cloths automatically. | Restores Flux. Prevents cloth blinding and extends cloth life without manual scrubbing. |
Automatic Drip Tray | “Bomb bay” door design that catches drips during the filtration cycle. | Clean Floor. Keeps the workspace dry and collects filtrate for recycling. |
How It Works
- Clamping: The hydraulic cylinder (closing pressure up to 25MPa) tightly seals the plate pack.
- Filling & Filtration: Sludge pump feeds material; clear filtrate exits through the cloth, while solids form a cake inside the chamber.
- Squeeze (Optional): For Membrane models: A flexible face inflates to apply secondary pressure, removing 10-15% more moisture.
- Air Blow: Compressed air is blown through the cake to displace residual liquid.
- Opening & Discharge: The plate pack opens (automatically or manually), and dry cakes fall cleanly for disposal.
- Cleaning: Automatic high-pressure water bars wash the cloths to ensure consistent flux for the next cycle.

- Selection Consultation
Provide our technical engineers with as detailed material information and process requirements as possible. We will recommend the most suitable chamber filter press model and configuration scheme (such as filter plate material, filter cloth model, automation level).
- Filter Cloth Selection
Filter cloth is key to filtration effectiveness and lifespan. Choose appropriate material (polyester, polypropylene, nylon) and weaving method (monofilament, multifilament) based on material particle size, viscosity, acidity/alkalinity, and temperature.
Frequently Asked Questions
Have More Questions? Our technical team is ready to provide detailed, personalized guidance.
Q1: What is the difference between a Chamber Press and a Membrane Press?
Q2: Why is filter cake moisture high?
- Feeding pressure below rated (need 0.6-1.2MPa).
- Cloth clogging (weekly chemical cleaning recommended).
- Fine particles (add 0.1%-0.3% flocculant).
- Inadequate extrusion pressure (check hydraulic seals).
Q3: Can you customize the voltage and electrical components?
Yes. We build machines for global export. We can configure the electrical system to 380V/415V/480V/600V (50Hz or 60Hz) and use specific component brands (Siemens, ABB, Schneider) to match your local standards.
Q4: What parameters are needed for selection?
Q5: Do you offer installation support?
We provide comprehensive installation manuals and video guides. For larger projects, we can dispatch engineers to your site for installation supervision, commissioning, and operator training.
Q6: What is the difference between a manual and automated filter press?
An automated filter press is controlled by a system that monitors and regulates the filtration process, reducing manual labor and ensuring consistency. In contrast, manual presses require human intervention for operation and monitoring.
Q7: What is the lead time for a standard machine?
For standard models, production typically takes 15-20 working days. Customized large-scale units may take 30-35 days.
