Equipment & options

EC470 & EC 630 – Compact, Reliable, Flexible:

without/two-hand closing system/semi-automated via PLC
closing mechanism: electric or pneumatic-hydraulic
AQUACHEM rotary mechanism for fast opening and closing

EC 800 – EC 1200 – Performance on a Larger Scale:

semi-automatic plate shifting with two-hand operation
control system with dialogue interface and touchscreen
integration of almost any feed pump possible
available materials: painted steel, stainless steel, FDA-compliant, special coatings, material combinations, and more

Semi-automatic plate shifting
- practical and safe -

In many processes, the filter cake does not fall out of the chamber filter press completely or reliably on its own. Therefore, an operator is often required to monitor the cake discharge process.

The semi-automatic plate shifting of the EC series provides the optimal compromise:

safe operation with two-hand control
simplest mechanics without complex and failure-prone drive and control systems
robust and low-maintenance

For those seeking fully automatic and autonomous cake discharge without personnel involvement, the AQUACHEM AF series offers the ideal solution.

Why do we avoid using so-called shifter systems and refrain from cam shafts or similar unstable devices?
