Tower press filtering system

摘要

A tower press filtering system (1) is provided. System (1) includes a frame assembly (10) having at least one support engagement portion (14); a collapsible filter tower assembly (20) having a plurality of displaceable filter plate members (20); a press assembly (30) having a support plate member (300), a compression mechanism (320), and a press plate (326); and, a stabilization assembly (40) for automatically maintaining press plate (326) in a fixed planar orientation during displacement thereof. System (1) also includes a port assembly (50) having a substantially rigid conduit segment (52) that maintains coupling with the manifold section (210) of at least one filter plate member (200). System (1) also includes a mechanism by which the coupling of each compression mechanism (320) employed may be adjustably coupled to support plate (300). Stabilization assembly (40) includes at least one coupling portion (405) that maintains meshed coupling with a support engagement portion (14) formed on frame assembly (10).
