Filter cloth walking type
Filter cloth walking filter press for sticky cake discharge and frequent cloth washing
This press format is used when the filter cake sticks to the cloth, operators need to clean cloth too often, or the project needs a more controlled cake discharge process. DOFIL reviews slurry condition, cake release, cloth blinding, washing frequency and site operation before recommending this structure.
Cleaner cake discharge
Automatic cloth walking
Cloth washing support
Sticky slurry applications
When to choose it
The cloth walking type is selected for a process problem, not only for a model name
A standard chamber or membrane press can work well for many materials. The cloth walking structure becomes valuable when the main cost is poor cake release, cloth blinding, repeated manual washing or unstable discharge after each cycle.
Sticky filter cake
Selected for sludge, fine particles or chemical slurry where cake may remain on the cloth after plate opening.
Frequent cloth cleaning
The cloth travel path makes washing and inspection easier than a fixed-cloth layout in demanding applications.
Automatic discharge support
Plate shifting, cloth movement, drip tray and washing steps can be coordinated for safer repeated cycles.
Project-specific configuration
Plate size, filtration area, washing pressure, control logic and platform access should be confirmed from the real site.
Product details
Details that matter on a cloth walking filter press
Before quoting this equipment, buyers should check whether the cloth path, plate shifting parts, washing system, access platform and drain arrangement are suitable for the material and the workshop layout.
Technical parameters
Typical configuration range for cloth walking filter press projects
Final values depend on material tests, cake thickness, washing requirement, plate quantity and the available site space. The table below is a practical quotation reference, not a fixed model list.
Equipment typeAutomatic filter cloth walking filter press, cloth traveling filter press, cloth washing filter press
Common plate size1000, 1250, 1500, 2000 mm; selected according to capacity, cake thickness and site height
Filtration areaProject-based, usually confirmed by plate size, chamber depth and plate quantity
Filter plate optionReinforced PP chamber plates or membrane plates depending on cake moisture target
Cloth systemAutomatic cloth walking / cloth traveling system with guide rail and drive mechanism
Washing systemCloth washing pipe, spray washing or washing station layout by site water pressure and process demand
Feed pressureCommonly reviewed around 0.6-1.0 MPa; higher pressure needs material and structure confirmation
AutomationHydraulic closing, automatic pressure holding, plate shifting, cloth movement, washing sequence and PLC cabinet
ApplicationsMunicipal sludge, industrial sludge, coal washing slurry, fine mineral slurry, chemical slurry and sticky filtration materials
Factory and site reference
Real photos help confirm machine scale, access and installation details
For this equipment type, photos are useful because the cloth walking structure occupies more space than a basic chamber press. The customer should check platform access, washing water, drain collection, operating aisle and future maintenance space.
Installed site platformPlatform, stairs and operation side are visible for layout review.
Workshop commissioningTechnicians check moving parts before shipment or site delivery.
Maintenance accessSide space affects inspection, adjustment and cloth replacement work.
Full machine scaleOverall length and control cabinet position should match the plant layout.
Quotation checklist
Information needed before sizing a cloth walking press
The correct proposal depends on the real filtration problem. Photos or videos of cake discharge are often more useful than only asking for a standard model number.
Material name, solids content, particle size, pH, temperature and viscosity
Reason for cloth walking: sticky cake, frequent cloth washing, poor cake release or continuous operation
Target capacity, operating hours, cycle time and cake moisture requirement
Preferred plate size, filtration area, chamber depth or existing press model if replacing equipment
Available floor space, discharge height, washing water, drain collection and power supply
Request configuration support
Send slurry data and cake discharge photos before confirming this equipment type
DOFIL can review whether a cloth walking filter press is necessary, or whether a chamber / membrane press with better cloth selection is enough.
