Filter Press Specifications
SMAT Minerals filter presses achieve residual cake moistures between 12% and 16%, enabling efficient concentrate handling and process water recovery.
| Design Parameter | SMAT Technical Specification |
|---|---|
| Plate Size Range | Recessed chamber and membrane squeeze plates from 800 x 800 mm to 1500 x 1500 mm |
| Hydraulic Clamping Force | Heavy hydraulic cylinder delivering clamping pressure up to 350 bar |
| Filtration Pressure | Slurry feed pressures from 8 bar to 16 bar |
| Plate Shifting Mechanism | Automated transfer carriage plate shifting or simultaneous block-opening system |
| Control | PLC control cabinet managing feed, press, and air-blow cake discharge cycles |
| Electro-Hydraulic Power & Cycle Times | Presión electrohidráulica de hasta 16 bar • Tiempos de ciclo de 20 a 45 minutos |
| Darcy-Ruth Cake Compressibility (Tiller 1975) | Specific resistance α = α0 (ΔP)s (s = 0.65) with 16 bar secondary squeeze for < 15% moisture |
METALLURGICAL DECISION CRITERIA • ROLES.JSON
Filter Press Selection Matrix (Placas de 800x800 mm a 1500x1500 mm)
Required Slurry Variables Slurry feed volume (t/h), initial solids percentage, and target cake residual moisture (< 15% for geotechnical dry stacking).
Chamber & Compression Rule Recessed chamber and membrane squeeze plates for secondary compression. 10 to 16 bar filtration pressure with heavy-duty structural sidebars.
Geotechnical & Operational Risk Mitigated Prevents wet unstable filter cakes unsuitable for dry stacking and excessive cycle discharge downtime.
