FILTER ELEMENT FOR UPRIGHT FILTER PRESS

摘要

In an upright filter press filter elements are arranged in stacked superimposed relationship. Each filter element has a frame having an upper side and a lower side and carrying filter means. A liquid-conveying channel is provided in each frame and terminates at a lateral side thereof for conveying expressed liquid. A lateral tubular extension is provided on each frame having a lower portion protruding downwardly beyond the lower side and a passage oriented in upright direction and communicating with the channel. The passage has at the upper side of the frame an inlet whose inner diameter is larger than the outer diameter of the lower portion so that the lower portion of the extension on the respectively upper filter element is telescopically receivable in the inlet of the passage of the extension of the respectively lower filter element.
