The Filter Plate is the core functioning component of any filter press system. It dictates the filtration efficiency, cake dryness, and the overall lifespan of the equipment under high-pressure operations. Sourcing high-quality replacement plates is critical to minimizing downtime and maintaining peak industrial dewatering performance.
As a leading filtration equipment source factory, Yuwei manufactures a comprehensive range of industrial filter plates. Our production line includes standard Chamber Plates, high-pressure Membrane Plates, Plate and Frame assemblies, and specialized Round / CGR Filter Plates. Manufactured from reinforced Polypropylene (PP), Cast Iron, or Stainless Steel, our plates are precision-engineered to fit both Yuwei filter presses and serve as direct drop-in replacements for all major global OEM brands.
A filter press is only as effective as the plates housed within its skeleton. The Filter Plate must withstand extreme hydraulic clamping forces, resist severe chemical corrosion, and facilitate the rapid discharge of filtrate. Whether you are building a new system or procuring replacement parts for routine maintenance, selecting the correct plate technology is essential for operational success.
We provide a full spectrum of plate designs to optimize your specific solid-liquid separation process:
We mold and machine our plates from various high-grade materials to suit any thermal or chemical environment:
Our manufacturing facility produces plates in all globally recognized standard dimensions. We can precisely match your current equipment’s specifications, including feed port locations and handle types.
| Standard Plate Size (mm) | Available Plate Types | Typical Application Scale | Standard Cake Thickness |
|---|---|---|---|
| 400 * 400 / 630 * 630 | Chamber, Frame, Stainless | Small Workshops, Pilot Testing | 25mm – 30mm |
| 870 * 870 / 1000 * 1000 | Chamber, Membrane, CGR | Medium Industrial Dewatering | 30mm – 35mm |
| 1250 * 1250 / 1500 * 1500 | Chamber, Membrane, CGR | Heavy Mining, Municipal Sludge | 35mm – 40mm |
| 2000 * 2000 | Chamber, Membrane | Massive Volume Processing | 40mm – 50mm |
Critical Logistics and Bulk Shipping Note: When ordering replacement filter plates in bulk (e.g., a full pack of 50 to 120 plates to refurbish a large machine), procurement teams must carefully calculate the shipping weight. The Operating Mass of these solid plates is considerable. For example, a single 1500mm PP chamber plate can weigh over 80 Kg, meaning a complete replacement pack requires specialized heavy-freight shipping logistics and robust forklift capacity upon receiving. Cast iron and stainless steel plates will exponentially increase this freight weight.
Yes. Our filter plates are manufactured to strict international sizing standards and serve as direct drop-in replacements for over 90% of global filter press brands. Before ordering, our engineers will ask you to confirm a few key measurements (outer dimensions, handle type, and feed port location) to guarantee 100% compatibility.
Filter plates are highly durable. In standard wastewater applications, high-quality PP plates can last 5 to 10 years. However, in highly abrasive environments (like mining tailings or silica filtration) or under extreme chemical stress, they may require replacement every 2 to 3 years. You should replace plates immediately if you notice warped sealing surfaces or stress cracks, as this poses a high-pressure blowout risk.
Yes, this is a very common and highly efficient configuration known as a “Mixed Pack” or “Combo Pack.” By alternating one standard chamber plate with one membrane plate, you can achieve the benefits of secondary squeezing (significantly lower cake moisture) while reducing the overall capital cost of outfitting the entire machine exclusively with membrane plates.
