Manual Small Closed Filter Press Helps Peruvian Refinery Treat Aqua Regia Sludge

A precious metal refining plant located in Lima, Peru, mainly recovers precious metals such as gold and silver from electronic waste. During the refining process, a large amount of chemical sludge containing neutral neutralizing solutions is produced. Each batch weighs approximately 8-12 kilograms. The sludge has a strong acidity and high corrosiveness.
This client previously used an open plate-and-frame filter press, which had problems such as severe leakage, unsafe operation, and frequent filter cloth replacements. The client now requires a small, sealed, acid-resistant solid-liquid separation equipment with a filtration accuracy of 5-10 microns, and it should be able to adapt to different acid-base conditions.
We have provided the customers with a manual small sealed filter press (XAQ2-320/30), with the following configuration:

1
Filter area: 2 square meters
Filter plate: Made of PP material, with fluorine rubber sealing.
Rack: 316L stainless steel enclosure
Supplementary items: PVDF pneumatic diaphragm pump and SS316L piping
An additional blind plate is provided for adjusting the filtration volume.

Usage Effect:

The equipment is completely sealed with no leakage, significantly enhancing operational safety.
The fluorine rubber seals and the PP filter plates are resistant to aqua regia corrosion and have a long service life.
The manual jack pressing method does not require electricity and is suitable for small-scale intermittent production.
The customer stated that the equipment is compact, the filtration effect is stable, and the moisture content of the filter cake is low.

Customer feedback:

“This manual small sealed filter press is highly suitable for our production scale. After using it, we found that it precisely meets the batch processing capacity requirements. The acid resistance performance exceeded our expectations.”
