At Southern Machinery Company, we’re dedicated to providing our customers with the finest industrial filtration solutions on the market. Our strategic partnership with Eagle Iron Works grants us exclusive access to Diefenbach’s esteemed product line, a globally recognized authority in the manufacturing of overhead beam filter presses. With a rich history spanning over a century, Diefenbach has established itself as a benchmark for excellence in liquid-solid separation technology. Their OH Series overhead beam filter presses epitomize this dedication to innovation, offering unmatched performance, robust construction, and adaptability for diverse applications.
Demystifying Overhead Beam Filter Presses
To fully appreciate the merits of Diefenbach’s OH Series, it’s essential to first understand the fundamental principles of overhead beam filter presses. These sophisticated machines are engineered for optimal liquid-solid separation and dewatering. They feature an overhead beam that supports a series of suspended plates. As the slurry is pumped into the press, the liquid permeates through filter cloths attached to the plates, while the solids are retained and discharged as compacted cakes.
The Diefenbach Advantage
Diefenbach’s OH Series redefines the conventional overhead beam filter press design, setting a new standard for excellence. These presses boast a pair of overhead beams with a sliding system of suspended plates, recessed on both sides. Optionally, the plates can be equipped with a fixed or removable membrane for augmented liquid extraction. When the plates are consolidated via a hydraulic or mechanical mechanism, they form a series of chambers.
The slurry material is pumped into these chambers, and the liquid permeates through the filter cloths into a storage tank, leaving the solids as a filter cake on the cloths. For intensified dewatering, membrane plates allow water to be injected between the plate and membrane to compress the cake. Post-filtration, a core blowing process eradicates slurry residue, and an optional cake drying step introduces compressed air to enhance dryness further.
Finally, the plate transport mechanism opens the cylinder to discharge the solid cakes. Diefenbach offers several plate transport options, including standard, fast, and instantaneous pack opening, ensuring the ideal solution for your specific application and feed sludge.
Why Select Diefenbach OH Series Overhead Beam Filter Presses?
With their rugged design and fully automated operation, Diefenbach OH Series overhead beam filter presses are the perfect solution for all types of liquid-solid separation applications. They provide the structural integrity and simplicity required for demanding environments, along with effortless maintenance and operation. For explosive or corrosive environments, they can be engineered to meet ATEX standards and resist acidic materials.
A key benefit of Diefenbach overhead beam filter presses is the ability to replace filter cloths without dismantling the plates, simplifying the maintenance process. With over a century of expertise and in-house lab testing, Diefenbach can recommend the optimal filter press for your specific application. Their presses are available in a vast range of sizes, with recessed chamber or membrane plates, and various plate transport systems to accommodate light to heavy-duty sludges.
