<p>A horizontal filter press is disclosed. The horizontal filter press comprises a support bracket, a head bracket, two sidebars spanning a distance between said support bracket and said head bracket, and a plurality of double filter plates. Each double filter plate comprises a first individual filter plate having a first filter chamber, one or more first filtrate ports, at least one first feed eye port, and at least one first handle; and a second individual filter plate having a second filter chamber, one or more second filtrate ports, at least one second feed eye port, and at least one second handle. The first and second individual filter plates are initially separate components, but are subsequently mechanically joined together to form said at least one double filter plate. In some embodiments a spacer bar is provided between the first and second individual filter plates. In some embodiments, a cutout is provided between the first and second individual filter plates to accommodate a support beam centrally disposed between said sidebars, the support beam providing additional support to the plurality of double filter plates. Methods of manufacturing a double filter plate are also disclosed.</p> |
