| Hiperk filter plates are manufactured to the highest quality standards. Every filter plate is quality checked, inspected and indivdually pressure tested to ensure long operation. Depending on the project the filter plates may be compression molded, injection molded or in the case of membrane filter plates a injection molded bladder with a compression molded core. Hiperk standard plate configuration is a "wash style" with alternating porting of filtrate ports. This wash style allows the cake to be evenly formed inside the filter cavity and can be rinsed or washed with a secondary liquid and blown with air for maximum dryness. Standard handle configuration is a bolt on style. CGR ( Caulked Gasketed Recessed ) This plate is often referred to as the Gasketed plate. The primary advantage is the ability for the plate to positively seal ( with an O-ring). The chamber has a"caulking" groove in which the filter cloth is inserted into for retention.The Hiperk version has O-rings around the perimeter eyelets and the filter chamber cavity on the same side. It is available in 100 psi ( 7.5 Bar) and 225 psi ( 16 bar) versions. Standard material is Co-Polymer Polypropylene which is rated to 140 f. ( 60'C). An option of elastomers for seals is available such as Buna-N and Viton. NGR ( Non-Gasketed Recessed ) This plate is often referred to as a Non-Gasketed plate. The primary advantage is the ability for the cloth to be removed rapidly. The cloth has a latex edge treatment that creates a seal between plates. The cloth is heald on with plastic ties that are cut when it comes time to remove the cloth. It is available in 100 psi ( 7.5 Bar) and 225 psi ( 16 bar) versions. Standard material is Co-Polymer Polypropylene which is rated to 140 f. ( 60'C). Membrane filter plates. This plate is a non-Gasketed style plate based on the sealing design, but is considered a "Squeeze plate". These plates consist of two sections: the first is the core and second is the membrane (one on each side of the core).The flexible membrane "shell" is thermally bonded to the core. A pipe connection to the side of the plate allows for water to be pumped into the core expanding the flexible membranes. This operation creates a compressed solid in the filter chamber. |
