Customer background:
A medium-sized enterprise specializing in the research and production of high-value-added fine chemical products. Its production process involves a key liquid-solid separation step, where small-batch slurry after the reaction needs to be efficiently filtered to obtain high-purity filter cake products. The customer has high requirements for the flexibility of equipment operation, the washing effect of the filter cake, the corrosion resistance of the equipment, and the cost control of procurement.
Customer pain points:
A large number of batches, but small quantities: The production mode is multi-variety and small-batch, which is not suitable for large-scale fully automatic equipment.
Corrosive medium: The processed materials have a certain degree of acidity or alkalinity, and there are requirements for the corrosion resistance of the equipment material.
The quality of the filter cake is highly demanding: A clear observation of the filtration process is necessary, and the filter cake may need to be washed.
Budget and Control: We aim to optimize the equipment investment cost while meeting the process requirements.
Solution: XMS3/380 Manual Hydraulic Cylinder Box-type Filter Press
In response to the specific needs of the customer, we recommended the XMS3/380 manual hydraulic cylinder box-type filter press to them. This model is characterized by its compact structure, easy operation, economic and practicality, and full compliance with process requirements, making it the ideal choice for the customer.
Key Configuration Highlights:
Model: Manual hydraulic cylinder box-type filter press (open flow)
Model: XMS3/380
Filter area: 3㎡ – Perfectly meets the requirements for small batch processing, with flexible single processing capacity.
Filter plate configuration: 14 filter plates + 2 washing plates (14 + 2 made of PP material) – The PP material offers excellent corrosion resistance; the unique design of the washing plates makes it convenient for customers to thoroughly wash the filter cake when needed, thereby improving product purity.
Filter plate dimensions: 380mm * 380mm * 50mm – Compact structure, with a small floor area.
Filter cloth configuration: 14 filter cloths + 1 spare (model 750B, PP material) – The dedicated 750B model filter cloth has a good balance between filtration accuracy and air permeability, ensuring the filtration efficiency and clarity of the filtrate.
Compression method: Manual hydraulic cylinder compression – Simple operation, convenient maintenance, no need for external power source. This significantly reduces operational complexity and failure rate. The compression force is stable and reliable, with a designed pressure of 1.0 Mpa, ensuring no leakage of the seal.
Discharge method: Open flow design, equipped with a PVC collection tank – The filtrate from each filter plate flows out separately. Operators can clearly observe the discharge situation of each filter plate, and immediately determine whether the filter cloth is damaged or the filtration process is complete. This is very convenient for process monitoring and quality control.
Frame material: Carbon steel – This material ensures structural strength, guaranteeing the overall rigidity and stability of the equipment under a working pressure of 1.0 Mpa.
Usage effect and customer feedback:
Since the manual hydraulic cylinder box-type filter press of this unit was put into use, the customers have given it high praise:
The operation is extremely simple: “The manual hydraulic cylinder pressing method is very straightforward. Our operators can master it proficiently after a brief training. It eliminates the complex steps of electrical control and there are basically no maintenance issues.”
Perfectly adapted process: “The 3 square meters of filtration area is precisely suitable for our batch size. The 14+2 filter plate configuration enables us to handle the washing process with ease. The PP material of the filter plates and filter cloth is completely resistant to the corrosion of our materials.”
The process is clear and controllable: “ClearFlow Design is one of our most appreciated features. It allows you to easily see the filtering effect of each board, which plays a crucial role in ensuring the consistency of the quality of our final products.”
Economical and efficient: “This equipment not only meets all our technical requirements, but also has a very competitive price and an extremely high cost-effectiveness. It has saved us valuable funds for our small-scale production line.”
Conclusion:
The XMS3/380 manual hydraulic cylinder box-type filter press, with its targeted design, reliable material selection and user-friendly operation method, has successfully solved the liquid-solid separation problem faced by this fine chemical customer in small-batch, multi-variety production. It proves that in the appropriate application scenarios, simple-structured and function-specific manual equipment remains the most efficient, economical and reliable choice, and is an ideal filtration equipment for small and medium-sized chemical, pharmaceutical, food, environmental protection and other fields.
