ABSTRACT:
The present invention pertains to a filter press which includes a plurality of filter units arranged in tandem. Each unit has a filter plate and filter elements in the form of sheets at either side. Adjacent filter elements of adjacent units form pairs of elements. A working fluid containing liquid and solid components to be separated is charged at positions in between pairs of elements. The liquid filters through the elements into the plates to be exhausted. The solids build up in cakes intermediate the elements of the respective pairs. Each pair of elements is resiliently suspended from an eccentric rotor or shaft. When the cakes are to be dislodged, the press is opened, the units being parted. Rotation of the shaft cyclically slackens the filter elements and snaps them taut, thereby dislodging the cakes.
