Plate and frame filter press / automatic

The filter press is used in the separation process of the liquid product from the solid residues. Filtering is indicated as the product transfer through a filtering mean. The product to be filtered (in this specific case cocoa butter) is a suspension of solid particles in a liquid to be pumped. The butter to be filtered has to be kept heated at 80/85°C in order to maintain an efficient filtration.The filtering mean is a tissue having well defined permeability features. The product to be filtered, fed by a feeding pump into the filtering elements, has to pass, in its liquid form, through the tissue giving the solid particles which will be held by the cloths.

This happens until the cavities (of the filtering element), able to hold solids, are completely overfilled. The check of this condition is made by an air pressure switch stopping the filtering process once the press overcame the max. pressure threshold.During this pumping and separating operation of the solid elements (better defined as filtration) a liquid part (completely lacking of solid particles) coming from the filtering elements is conveyed to a bottom heated collecting channel to be connected to a heated tank linked to a pump delivering the filtered product to a stocking tank.The solid part (remaining in the filtering elements) will contain the least quantity of liquid possible according to the general process.
