Factors affecting the working performance of filter press in winter

Date: Nov. 11, 2021

When the filter press is working, the main task is to filter out the water in the filtrate, but in winter when the weather is cold, the water is very easy to freeze. Once it freezes, it is easy to cause damage to the machine. There is no way to proceed with subsequent operations. For companies, how to further improve the working performance of the filter press is an eternal topic. If you want to effectively improve the performance of the filter press, you must first understand the relevant influencing factors.

1. Pressure Control

The main factor that affects the filtering effect of the filter press is the pressure control. As we all know, the main working principle of the filter press is to realize the filtering function through the control and adjustment of the pressure. Therefore, the status of the pressure system is self-evident. The working status is directly related to the filtering effect.

2. Filtration speed

The second factor that affects the performance of the filter press is the filtration speed. Now many manufacturers just blindly pursue the filtration speed of the filter press and ignore the essence of filtration. In fact, the filtration speed of the filter press should be designed according to the concentration of the liquid. Different factors such as resistance and resistance should be determined, and the use speed of the filter press should be appropriately allocated.

3. Filter area

In addition, the factor that affects the working performance of the filter press is the filter area. As we all know, the larger the area of the filter, the greater the flow of objects passing through it, the more residue it will take away during filtration, and the worse the filtering effect will be.

4. Filtrate

Proper maintenance can not only improve work efficiency but also extend the service life of sludge treatment equipment. When the machine-made sand sludge treatment equipment is used in the cold winter season, the cold weather will reduce the activity of the sewage. When it is affected by extremely cold weather, the filtrate simply becomes a solid or a mixture of solid and liquid. When the liquid is fed into the equipment by the feed pump, it simply constitutes the pipeline blockage of the equipment, which may impact and friction with the filter plate, and then accelerate the wear level and aging of the sludge treatment equipment, and even cause damage to the equipment in severe cases.

5. Hydraulic system

Try not to start the sludge treatment equipment directly when the temperature is low, start it slowly as much as possible, and wait for the hydraulic system to warm up before the operation is carried out, to achieve better results. There is also the choice of cold and antifreeze lubricating grease and hydraulic oil in winter to prevent the lubricating oil and hydraulic oil from freezing and affecting the normal operation of the equipment.

The above are the precautions for the sludge and sewage treatment equipment in the sand washing field in winter. I hope that it will be helpful to everyone when using the sludge pressing equipment in the sand washing field.
