Piston stroke control for filter press

Reduces Filter Press Cycle Time

The Metris addIQ piston stroke control from ANDRITZ SEPARATION is designed to enhance the efficiency of filter press operations by reducing cycle times by up to 40%. It shortens the movement range of the cylinder and shifting plate, allowing rapid opening of the plate pack for quicker discharge of the filter cake. This unique capability is particularly beneficial for industries such as chemicals, mining, mineral processing, wastewater treatment, and pulp and paper, where increased capacity and throughput are critical.

Suitable for both sidebar and overhead filter presses, this control system can be easily retrofitted to existing setups. Sidebar filter presses gain from a mechanical stroke shortening device, while overhead presses are equipped with an electronic system for precise control. As a result, your operations can shift seamlessly into high-speed, continuous production modes while handling a diversity of end products, from pharmaceutical powders and mineral slurries to industrial chemicals and food-grade starch.

Energy efficiency and environmental sustainability are key focuses of the Metris addIQ system, ensuring reduced operational costs and a smaller carbon footprint. With the robust design, the equipment integrates effortlessly into existing production lines and supports upstream and downstream processes, maintaining operational continuity and enhancing overall productivity.
