A filter press (1) for filtering suspensions is provided with a package of plate-like filter elements (5) which in a filtration position can be pressed sealingly against one another in a parallel arrangement. Thereby the filter elements (5) enclose in pairs a filter chamber which is delimited at least on one side by a planar filter medium. Furthermore, the filter elements (5) are movable to a discharging position in which adjacent filter elements (5) have a distance from one another which allows the removal of the filter cake from the filter chamber. In order to reduce the overall height of such a filter press (1) or to increase the filter surface area with unchanged overall height, it is proposed that the filter elements (5) are alternatingly inclined towards one another in the opposite direction in the discharging position, so that the distance between adjacent filter elements (5) increases in the discharging direction of the filter cake. |
