Suodatinlevy

Suodatinlevy, often translated as filter plate, is a component used in filtration systems. It serves as a surface or a support structure onto which filter media is applied or through which the liquid or gas to be filtered passes. The primary function of a suodatinlevy is to facilitate the separation of solid particles from a fluid.

These plates are typically found in filter presses, which are commonly employed in various industries such as water treatment, food and beverage production, chemical processing, and mining. In a filter press, a series of suodatinlevyt are arranged with filter cloths or membranes placed between them. When a slurry or liquid containing impurities is pumped into the press, the fluid passes through the filter media supported by the suodatinlevy, leaving the solid particles trapped on the surface of the media.

The design and material of a suodatinlevy can vary depending on the specific application and the type of filtration required. They can be made from materials like polypropylene, stainless steel, or other durable plastics. The surface of the plate is often designed with channels or grooves to allow for efficient flow of the filtered liquid and to provide support to the filter medium. The removal of accumulated solids from the suodatinlevy is a crucial part of the filtration cycle, allowing for the reuse of the filter press.
