Filter press having filter plates movable on a support rail

摘要

In such a filter press, each filter plate (1-5) has a bearing (9) on which are attached a latching arm (15) and an engaging lug (17). The latching arm (15) is designed so that it can engage with the engaging lug (17) of the neighbouring filter plate when the filter plates lie against each other. Separation of two filter plates latched in this manner is carried out by means of the pushing force of any desired pushing apparatus, without the latching having to be opened by switching means. <IMAGE>
