Why Filter Cake Sticks & Is Difficult to Discharge
Symptoms · Root Causes · Proven SolutionsFilter cake adheres tightly after pressure filtration, requiring manual scraping, extending cycles and causing secondary blinding from residual cake.
What Is Happening?
Filter cake adheres tightly after pressure filtration, requiring manual scraping, extending cycles and causing secondary blinding from residual cake.
Common Symptoms
- Incomplete cake shedding after plates open
- Thick residual sludge remains on the cloth surface
- The next filtration cycle becomes much slower
- Manual cleaning labor costs remain high
4 Root Causes
Wrong Weave Structure
The cloth surface lacks anti-stick performance.
Excess Flocculant
Overdosing creates sticky gel residue.
Low Cloth Tension
Loose installation allows the cake to grip the cloth tightly.
3 Recommended Actions
Use Smooth Anti-Stick Cloth
Adopt a smooth, non-stick coated surface with an optimized weave.
Correct Slurry Conditioning
Adjust flocculant concentration and feed solids to reduce gel formation.
Improve Cake Release
Maintain uniform cloth tension and consider plate vibration or auxiliary cake-drop equipment.
