Why Filter Plate Drainage Channels Block & Cake Stays Wet
Symptoms · Root Causes · Proven SolutionsFine particles block plate drainage ribs and grooves, restricting filtrate flow and leaving cakes too wet for downstream requirements.
What Is Happening?
Fine particles block plate drainage ribs and grooves, restricting filtrate flow and leaving cakes too wet for downstream requirements.
Common Symptoms
- Filtrate outflow becomes extremely slow
- Cake moisture remains far above specification
- Pressure rises rapidly while drainage stays low
- Long cycles fail to improve final dryness
4 Root Causes
Cloth & Channel Blockage
Cloth blinding compounds internal drainage restriction.
Insufficient Deep Cleaning
Plates have operated too long without flushing.
Excess Ultra-Fine Powder
Raw slurry particle grading is poorly controlled.
3 Recommended Actions
Flush Drainage Channels
Use scheduled high-pressure washing on internal plate grooves.
Optimize Cloth Aperture
Reduce fine-particle penetration into plate channels.
Improve Pretreatment
Reduce the ultra-fine fraction before feeding the press.
