ErtelAlsop’s Recessed Chamber Series, the EA Series, are among the most efficient means of liquid/solid separation through pressure filtration, either for solution filtration or sludge volume reduction. They provide a simple reliable method of high compaction
pressure to compress and dewater solids into cakes of 25-60% total concentration. This provides clearer filtrate solutions than systems that only remove free water.
Our EA-Series presses include full thickness, height and solid tee-slotted steel sidebars with stainless steel wear strips. Our slide heads ride on full size roller and bearing assemblies. Our closure systems incorporate the very latest in hydraulics and control technology. The EA-Series presses carry an unprecedented and unconditional six (6) year warranty from time of start-up.
Various options are available on EA Series presses and comprehensive, detailed Operation and Maintainance manuals are supplied with each press.
EA-Series Recessed Chamber/Plate & Frame/Membrane Filter Presses Heavy duty line of fabricated presses in both 100 PSI and 225 PSI design ratings.
Available in sizes from 470 mm through 1500 mm, with capacities up to 350 cubic feet or more. These presses feature t-slotted sidebars, plate shifters, cloth washers, bomb bay drip trays, manifolds, light curtains, and fast-acting hydraulic systems, with manual, semi-automatic, and fully automatic PLC and/or DCS controls.EA Series Filter Presses are among the most efficient means of liquid/solid separation through pressure filtration; either for solution filtration or sludge volume reduction. They provide a simple reliable method of high compaction pressure to compress and dewater solids into cakes of 25-60% total concentration. This provides clearer filtrate solutions than systems that only remove free water.
For example, in wastewater applications, such as metal hydroxides
and alum sludges, the slurries of wastewater are pumped through
the chambers of the filter press. The filtrate passes through the
filter cloth and the solids are retained. The solids collect on
the cloth, forming an excellent filter. As additional solids are
pumped into the chamber, solids continue to collect until the entire
chamber is full of dewatered solids. At this point the press is
cleaned and recycled.
Applications such as beer or wine may be clarified by pumping
through a filter media like diatomaceous earth or cellulose filter
aid. In the case of filtration, the retained solids are not important.
It is the clarity of the filtrate that justifies the use of the
filter press.
The filter press produces a recoverable solid such as dyestuff,
or precious metals or may be used with the intent of reducing waste
volume. In hazardous material applications, reducing the volume
of waste is critical. A liquid slurry of hazardous metal hydroxide
waste may be reduced from 40 drums of 1% solids to one drum of
40% solids. Such an improvement may economically justify the filter
press in less than one month.
Typical applications include:
Process Filtration and Plate Washing
Pharmaceuticals and Biological Filtration
Chemicals Filtration
Clarification of Processed Fluids
Municipal Sludge Dewatering
Waste Stream Remediation
Precious Metal Recovery
Food Processing
Desalinization Filtration
Bio Diesle Filtration
Ethanol Filtration
Ore Sludge Processing
The EA Series Line is available in six different sizes for solids
handling ranging from 0.5-300 cubic feet. Thirty-two (32mm) millimeter
gasketed polypropylene plates are standard on all models, making
these heavy-duty presses well suited for applications, which require
leak-free processing. Other standard features include an A36 Epoxy
painted Steel Skeleton, 304 Stainless Steel Bar Wear Strips, Schedule
80 PVC Head Connections, Four Corner Discharge, Hydraulic Closure
System, and Full Six Year Framework Warranty. As with all ErtelAlsop
presses, a full line of media is available. Back to Top

EA 203
EA Series Filter Laboratory Presses are among the most efficient and cost effective means of liquid/solid separation through pressure filtration. EA Lab presses provide a simple reliable method of high compaction pressure to compress and dewater solids concentration. This provides clearer filtrate solutions than systems that only remove free water.
This series of filters is designed for the laboratory, new product and process development, testing, scale-up and small volume production of products. Cloth or paper changeover can be accomplished easily and in a minimum of time. Even more versatility can result from the use of dividing heads to provide double or even triple serial filtration in a single pass.
