FLS automatic filter presses are pressure filters designed for large-scale liquid-liquid-solid separations with heavy duty rugged and reliable construction built to withstand the demands of the minerals processing industry. Boost your throughput and resource efficiency with 93% availability and up to 95% process water recovery with the AFP 2500.
At FLS, our Minerals Research Testing Centre provides industry-leading expertise to help clients determine the best possible processing solutions. By sending a sample to our state-of-the-art laboratory, clients gain access to cutting-edge mineralogical and metallurgical analysis that goes beyond standard testing. Our experts conduct rigorous studies to assess material properties, simulate real-world processing conditions, and optimise performance. The result? A comprehensive lab report detailing key findings, along with tailored recommendations for equipment selection, flowsheet design, and process efficiency improvements. This data-driven approach ensures clients receive proven, cost-effective solutions that enhance productivity, reduce risk, and maximise operational success.
Pilot filter press
After the initial review by our process experts, an on-site pilot may be recommended. The pilot filter press is a fully automated, skid-mounted unit designed for flexible on-site testing. Whether you need to optimise your process or select the best full-scale filtration setup, this unit provides real-world data to support your decision.
- Test small batches under real conditions to fine-tune feed pressure, cycle times, and cake moisture for maximum efficiency.
- Evaluate multiple filter plate configurations to determine the ideal setup before committing to a production-scale filter.
With automatic cake discharge, PLC-controlled operation, and built-in data logging, the pilot press delivers precise filtration insights – helping you achieve the best results before scaling up.
