Filter Plate Solutions - Micronics Engineered Filtration Group

Experienced in Knowing the Right Filter Plate for Each Application

Here are just a few reasons to work closely with Micronics on Filter Plates:

Xuda Filtration supply professional and honest service.

The Micronics Engineered Filtration team offers expert Filter Plate Repair Services and carries a wide variety of Filter Plates for your industry and application. Whether you need 470mm plates for your plating operation or large 2.0mm Mining Press Plates or plates for your Alumina Red Mud Press, you can confidently turn to Micronics for the needed expertise for your slurry and operating conditions.

Experts in Repair and Refurbishment of Filter Plates

The Micronics Engineered Filtration team has the expertise and technical capabilities to Repair and Refurbish Filter Plates – that is, for all but the most damaged polypropylene filter plates – providing substantial cost-savings and reduced downtime for your press operations. Of course, Micronics will work with you in replacing the filter plates, if they cannot be repaired or refurbished. We will do an expert assessment of the wear and damage to your filter plates and determine appropriate next steps for your team’s consideration.

We employ proprietary methods for cleaning the membrane companion plate drainage surface and will remove all residue built up on the surface and porting holes. Filtrate drainage is significantly improved and – after Micronics’ Expert Filter Plate Refurbishment – numerous customers confirm that the cake moisture content is lower in service than before refurbishment! Damaged areas and cracks are plastic welded to retain the plate’s original strength.

Experts in Providing A Different Plate Design to Better Suit Customer Requirements

While we offer many configurations, every configuration is not optimal for every situation. For instance, while corner feed with no stay bosses in the filtration area provides ideal filtration in some situations, we have a high degree of experience in changing plate design to Center Feed from both Top Corner Feed and Bottom Corner Feed. By increasing the diameter of the feed hole in the center feed design, the velocity of the filtrate in this area is reduced, thereby reducing neck abrasion. Micronics specifically has experience in doing such plate design conversions while keeping your original press structure and existing press features and we look forward to discussing these sorts of opportunities for reducing neck wear/premature failure with you and your team.

Experts in Inventory Management Programs

Micronics is adept at working with customers to develop a sound Filter Plate & Filter Cloth Inventory Management Program to ensure that you are never caught without adequate replacement stock because, let’s face it, things do happen. As customers know, Filter Plates are custom-fabricated/molded items and have long lead times so proper attention to maintaining the proper inventory of replacement plates is critical to avoid costly shut-downs. For instance, aggressive Mine Tailings and Mineral Concentrate applications can result in damaged plates due to either excessive air blowdown or failed filter cloths, which can allow the feed slurry to scour the plates. Similarly, balance pressures can cause warping and cracking of the filter plates and may require them to be replaced. Did You Know, that using Filter Press Cloths of different permeabilities or filtration characteristics within the plate stack can lead to out-of-balance filter plate pressures?

Micronics has excellent strategic partnerships with various filter plate manufacturers and is not limited in its choices and options that customers can provide because each situation is different about process parameters, usage of chemicals, cycle time, cycles per day, squeezing pressure, cake thickness, etc. We have worked closely with plate manufacturers – and continue to do so – to develop the most innovative solutions such as our clip necks and various other custom plates.
