Competitive Assessment Study on Filter Plates and Membranes Helps a Leading Manufacturer Assess the Market Shares of Top Global Players

Filter plates are primarily used for applications requiring liquid-solid separation, such as mining and mineral processing, chemical manufacturing, paint and pigments, and wastewater treatment, among others. Quality, high durability, and precise specifications are the key attributes of filter plates and filter membranes as they are mostly used in specific industrial applications. A comprehensive range of plate types and materials including recessed filter plates, membrane plates, vacuum membrane filter plates are available for different types of industrial applications. Filter membranes are used to reduce the cake moisture content or shorten the filtration cycle time. There are two types of membrane plate designs – fixed membranes and replaceable membranes.

Filter membranes are typically used for both liquid and air filtration as they offer precisely controlled pore size distribution with increased strength and flexibility. This makes them well-suited for a broad range of applications such as basic research, environmental testing, and pharmaceutical as well as food and beverage industries. Moreover, standard and custom filter plate designs and filter press plates help improve cake dryness and washing efficiency to help combat abrasive conditions.
