<p>A filter plate press (60) or an electrolyzer cell has a series of filter plates or cell frames (8a to 8x) respectively, which are moved as a stack (8) against a press or cell head piece (4) by a follower (3) moved by one or more rodded cylinders (5) mounted on a fixed bracket (1). Scissor mechanisms (50) extending on each side of the press/cell holder and between the bracket (1) and the follower (3) assure precise parallel movement of the follower (3) with respect to the head piece (4). To accommodate any cumulative errors in the stack dimensions the scissor mechanisms (50) are disengageable upon closure of the press/cell holder so that the follower (3) has freedom to match the abutting surface of the plate/cell frame stack (8) and thus evenly seal the abutting peripheral edges of the plates/cell frames. A pair of plate pawl-containing carriages (10, 10a) mounted on a pair of synchronized lead screws (12, 12a) extending parallel to a pair of plate/cell frame guide rails (2) on the press (60) are provided to assure simultaneous pick-up of opposed handles of each plate/cell frame being moved for cake discharge or plate/cell frame washing.</p> |
