Precision Laboratory Filter Press
Before investing in a massive industrial filter press, you need certainty. You need to know the exact filtration rate, cake moisture, and optimal cloth type for your specific slurry.
Our Laboratory Filter Press is a miniature version of our full-scale industrial machines. Designed for universities, research institutes, and factory R&D centers, it provides reliable data to validate your process and scale up with confidence.
Why You Need a Lab Press: Small Machine, Big Data
Don’t guess. Test.
1. Process Validation:
- Determine if pressure filtration is the right technology for your material.
- Test different filter cloths (woven vs. non-woven, micron rating) to find the perfect match.
- Evaluate the effect of chemical conditioning (flocculants/coagulants).
2. Accurate Scale-Up:
- The data collected (filtration time per volume, cake thickness, moisture content) can be directly extrapolated to size a full-scale production machine.
3. Compact & Portable:
- Small footprint fits easily on a laboratory workbench or a small skid.
- Plug-and-play design requires standard single-phase or 3-phase power.
Configuration Options: Customize Your Test Bench
We offer various configurations to simulate different industrial conditions:
- Plate Types:
- Recessed Chamber: Standard dewatering testing.
- Membrane Squeezing: Test secondary squeezing for drier cakes.
- Plate & Frame: For testing filter paper or ultra-fine filtration.
- Closing Method:
- Manual Jack: Simple screw jack or hydraulic jack (lowest cost).
- Electric Hydraulic: Automatic pressure maintenance (mimics large presses).
- Material:
- Polypropylene (PP): Standard chemical resistance.
- Stainless Steel: For food/pharma or high-temperature testing.

Ideal Applications
This machine is the standard choice for industries dealing with corrosive or volatile chemicals where hygiene is important but not necessarily food-grade.
Universities & Research Institutes
Teaching demonstrations and material science research.
Engineering Firms
On-site pilot testing for client projects.
Chemical Plants
Testing new product batches or process changes.
Mining Companies
Analyzing tailings samples from different ore veins.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does it come with a feed pump?
A: We can supply the bare machine or a complete Skid-Mounted Unit including a pneumatic diaphragm pump (AODD) or a small screw pump, ready to operate out of the box.
Q: How much slurry do I need for a test?
A: For the smallest model (200mm), you typically need 5-10 liters of slurry to form full cakes. This makes it ideal for testing limited sample quantities.
Q: Can I rent this machine?
A: We sell these units at a very competitive price, often cheaper than renting. Owning one allows you to test continuously. Contact us for pricing.
