Our testing filter presses for hire are available in various sizes. Whether in a container or as a mobile filter press, we're sure to find the right solution for you. Set-up and connection of the systems is easy to perform, and we are of course ready to assist you with commissioning.

The BC-series impresses with its simple and robust technology, while at the same time offering the user many features to simplify work. The optionally available semi-automatic plate shifting allows the user to shift the filter elements conveniently. The hydraulics are controlled via the HMI control system with touchscreen. This allows any feeding pump of your choosing to be integrated and controlled. There are plates available in the formats 800, 1,000 and 1,200 mm, allowing for filtration surfaces of up to 178 m². Thanks to the gasketed design, a clean environment is ensured, even during the internal flushing of the filter elements with aggressive media. The individual discharge manifold enables many functions such as displacement air drying, turbid flow, clear flow, flushing and also cake washing. The standardised hydraulic unit is used in both the BC-series and the AF-series.

The filter presses from AQUACHEM of the EC Beverage series are used in the beverage industry, for example, for the filtration of selected wines. Another feature is that the filter elements are gasketed, and therefore the must or juice does not also come into contact with the ambient air. The EC Beverage series is offered as standard in the filter plate sizes 470, 630 and 800 mm.

The AQUACHEM LCM 320 (pocket press membrane) is ideal for mobile deployment on site on a suitable trolley and can be operated with up to 15 bar loading and 15 bar membrane squeezing. This machine can also be used as a testing filter press in the case in order to decide on the right fabric or to check the filterability of the suspension. Fully equipped, this compact press can manually implement functions that our fully automatic machines can do. The AQUACHEM LC 320 (pocket press chamber) is identical in design to the LCM 320 and differs only in its function as a chamber filter press (without membrane). The LC 470 is the more affordable, low-cost version of the EC-series. Main feature is the restriction of the feeding pressure to 7 bar. All other features are the same as the EC-series. This series is built in a compact design with a feeding pump and discharge manifold.

In the tried-and-tested, gasketed design, the EC-series offers many benefits to the user on top of its ease of operation. Due to the internal drainage, use in even the most hygienically clean areas is possible. The press lock is performed by an automatically self-regulating pneumatic/hydraulic closing system. The automatic closing pressure maintenance ensures that the plate pack always remains closed. An adjustable pressure switch with a potential-free contact is provided for integration into the customer's control system. This prevents the feeding pump from running uncontrollably. Also, as with all AQUACHEM filter presses, the discharge manifold can be generated here at the customer's request. Due to the gasketed design, the seamless backflushing of the filter media in the filter press is possible. The filter press frame is phosphated and powder-coated, offering a high level of protection against external influences.

The AF filter presses from AQUACHEM are a further development of conventional chamber filter presses, which have been tried and tested in the industry for over a century. However, due to the degree of automation required and the increase in efficiency necessary nowadays, the technology we have had up until now is often no longer up to date. The design of the AF filter presses is based on the optimum interplay of the ?? individual assemblies of the filter press to ensure reliable, efficient and permanent operation without personnel being present. The automated flexibility of the product enables autonomous adjustment to changing conditions, such as concentration or even specific filter properties. We guarantee these properties and also availability. This is only possible because AQUACHEM and the AF-series possess the knowledge, an intelligent control system and the technology for maximum flexibility. Yes, this is a product with unique selling points – test it out yourself.

Especially in rapidly changing markets, it is all the more important to rely on a partner with many years of market and expert knowledge. With semi-mobile container plants – similar to mobile filter presses – we support you in defying the rapid changes on the market in order not to jeopardise your core business. Semi-mobile filter presses can be used flexibly and are also quickly ready for operation. Furthermore, the semi-mobile filter press is fully equipped and immediately ready for operation after connecting to sludge, water and power supply. MSE Filterpressen® engineers and manufactures the plants for individual customer requirements. In this way, the best possible result can be achieved for every task. The semi-mobile filter press from MSE is available in various designs. The sizes of the semi-mobile filter presses are available up to a maximum size of 1500 format. This corresponds to about 100 chambers, i.e. about three cubic meters of chamber volume.

CellTRON® FOR MAXIMUM FILTRATION REQUIREMENTS The basis of this plant is a membrane filter press. The new product series is equipped with an innovative filter press emptying system with lifetime error message, an automated filter cloth washing system with implemented CIP cleaning function as well as an automatically opening and vacuum-proof housing. In contrast to conventional filter presses, this new development guarantees an almost gastight encapsulation of the filter press. The filter press thus meets the specific requirements for dewatering special (metal) sludges. In addition to standard configurations for battery cell production, this technology series is also suitable for demanding applications that require the highest safety and efficiency standards. These include volatile, dust explosive products as well as substances with toxic and radioactive properties but also pharma food products and hot suspensions (≥130°C).

MSE stainless steel filter presses comply with the high hygiene and purity standards both in design and processing. With the stainless steel filter press, all components in contact with the product are covered with high-quality stainless steel. This also provides optimum protection against corrosion. FDA-COMPLIANT SOLID-LIQUID SEPARATION WITH THE MSE STAINLESS STEEL FILTER PRESS A large number of materials with different properties are used in the food sector in particular. Here, especially care must be taken to ensure that no ingredients are released into the food. The law stipulates a FDA certification for this. Accordingly, all materials used must be FDA-certified. The FDA certification stands for high purity and durability. Each component such as the filter plates, filter cloths and piping systems complies with the FDA guidelines. This contributes to high hygiene and safety requirements.

Membrane filter presses have a great influence on the dryness of the solid by using membrane technology in the filter plates. Compared to conventional filtration processes, it achieves the lowest residual moisture values in the filter cake. This makes the membrane filter press a powerful and the most widely used system. IF TIME AND DEGREE OF DEWATERING ARE CRUCIAL Depending on the degree of dewatering, different dry matter contents ( – percentage by weight of dry material in filter cake) can be achieved in the filter cake by squeezing with membrane plates. The range of achievable dry matter contents extends from 30 to over 80 percent. Membrane filter presses not only offer the advantage of an extremely high degree of dewatering; they also reduce the filtration cycle time by more than 50 percent on average, depending on the suspension. This results in faster cycle and turnaround times, which lead to an increase in productivity.

Based on the decisive properties of the flexible material, the rubberised filter press is mainly used for the filtration of particularly aggressive suspensions and environments. The aggressive suspensions include, for example, solvents or acids. In this context, the conventional painting of the steel parts is no longer sufficient. THE RUBBERIZED FILTER PRESS OF MSE AS PROTECTIVE MEASURES AGAINST AGGRESSIVE SUSPENSIONS In a complex process, the load-bearing filter press components are coated with a layer of 3mm thick plastic. In the case of the rubberised filter press, the hydraulic stands, feed stand, pressure plate and supporting beams are hard rubberised and the smaller components are made of polypropylene. It is also possible to rubberise only the components in contact with the product, such as the feed stand and the pressure plate. The composition of the rubber coating depends on the special surface requirements of our customers.

Mobile filter presses are particularly suitable for dewatering sludge from several plants at regular intervals or for compensating capacity peaks and bottlenecks. The fact that mobile filter presses are not subject to approval obligation and are therefore quickly and unbureaucratically available is particularly interesting. MSE mobile filter presses are fully equipped and immediately ready for operation after connection of the sludge, water and power supply. In this way, the best possible result can be achieved for every task. Mobile filter press plants can be implemented in many different designs. The sizes of the mobile filter presses are available up to a maximum size of 1200. This corresponds to about 100 chambers and about three cubic meters of chamber volume. The plants are equipped with suction and pressure-side inline mixers. The PLC plant controls the conditioning parameters in proportion to pressure and/or volume.

With its structural protection measures and its specific requirements the ATEX filter press complies with the ATEX directives. As a result, these types of filter presses are designed for a high level of safety and explosion protection. ATEX „ATMOSPHÈRES EXPLOSIBLES„ ATEX derives its name from the French term „ATmosphères EXplosibles”. It consists of two EU directives governing explosion protection and thus the equipment and working environment in an environment with an explosive atmosphere. ATEX filter presses are especially used in filtration processes in the chemical, petrochemical, oil and gas extraction, mining, food and waste water sectors. With their design, as well as the selected materials, they comply with all the requirements of the ATEX certification in potentially explosive areas.

Semi-automatic filter presses represent a simplified and cost effective solution for the reliable operation with respect to operation and safety measures. This type of filter press is distinguished by a special, a rail-mounted two-hand control panel. The filter press with two-hand control is used in particular when the space on site is limited or a higher degree of automation is not required. Accordingly, a conventional version of the protective device is no longer effective. REDUCED PROCUREMENT COSTS AND SIMPLE OPERATION – THE SEMI-AUTOMATIC FILTER PRESS WITH TWO-HAND CONTROL FROM MSE Based on the safety technology requirements, an intelligent two-hand control is implemented, for example, for moving the filter plates by means of automated plate shifter. This functional principle thus prevents the operator from reaching into the working area. Complicated mechanical designs including further safety measures are not necessary.

Fully automatic filter presses are specifically designed for applications in which a continuous operation and fast cycle times are essential and therefore crucial. MSE fully automatic filter presses provide a high degree of automation while providing uninterrupted operation at the same time. FULLY AUTOMATIC FILTER PRESSES FROM MSE INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY AT THE SAME TIME REDUCING PERSONNEL COSTS The operating time of a fully automatic filter press is 24/7. The option of the simultaneous filter plate opening system, for example, helps to realise a particularly fast cake release reducing the cycle time to a minimum. The result is a high-speed filter press that allows increased production per unit area of filter. For this reason, these machines are used in applications with highly filterable products where high filtration speeds are required. These include, e.g. mining concentrates and residues.

MSE Filterpressen® offers a wide range of filter presses with sidebar technology suitable for both standard and medium duty and for heavy-duty performance levels. Maximum flexibility is provided by choosing between simple manual to fully automated MSE filter press designs. MSE chamber filter presses are upgradable in terms of modules and features and can be customized to your specific needs and requirements. HIGH PERFORMANCE AND HIGH DEGREE OF CONFIGURATION FOR YOUR CHAMBER FILTER PRESS The chamber filter press can be configured as required depending on the series. Taking different influencing factors into account, chamber filter presses achieve a solids content in the filter cake from 30 to over 50 percent. The intelligent filtration principle leads to immense cost savings in the waste water sector, for example. The operation of the chamber filter press is designed for a feed pressure of up to 15 bar in order to successfully filter even the finest particles.
