Manual Filter Press

A manual filter press is one of the oldest types of filtration machine.Manual filters are handy, and are used to handle small quantities of material. With the advance in technology Manual filter press are no more in use for the separation, but are preferred for the pilot project testing purpose.

A Manual Filter Press is one of the simplest and most reliable types of filter press machines used for solid-liquid separation. Unlike hydraulic or automatic models, the manual version is operated completely by hand. This makes it highly suitable for small-scale industries, laboratories, pilot plants, and applications where automation is not necessary.

At Arunoday Engineering Works, we have been designing and manufacturing filter press machines since 1972. Our manual filter press is built with a strong frame, durable components, and high-quality P.P. filter plates, ensuring efficient filtration with minimal effort.

The manual filter press machine works on a very simple principle:

• Slurry (mixture of solid and liquid) is pumped into the machine. 
• The slurry passes through P.P. filter plates, which trap solid particles. 
• The liquid (filtrate) passes out, leaving behind a solid filter cake. 
• Once the cycle is complete, the plates are manually opened and the cake is removed. 

Because of its manual operation, this type of filter press machine is easy to understand, simple to maintain, and cost-effective.

• Cost-effective solution – lower investment and maintenance costs
• Simple operation – no need for complex training or automation systems
• Reliable performance – proven technology used for decades
• Customizable – available in various sizes, plate counts, and capacities
• Durable build – made with certified materials and strong design standards

Our manual filter presses are widely used in industries where small to medium batch filtration is required. Common applications include:

• Chemical Industry – filtration of organic and inorganic compounds, dyes, and pigments

• Food & Beverage Industry – clarification of fruit juices, sugar refining, starch processing, and vegetable oil purification

• Pharmaceutical Industry – purification of syrups and washing of intermediates

• Wastewater Treatment – sludge dewatering in small effluent plants

• Ceramics & Minerals – dewatering kaolin, chalk, and processing other mineral slurries
  

As a trusted filter press manufacturer and supplier in India, we bring over 50+ years of expertise in designing efficient filtration systems. Our manual filter press machines are preferred because:

• Made with 100% virgin P.P. plates for long life and strength

• Built to handle higher pressure and temperature conditions

• Backed by in-house manufacturing of spares and accessories

• Tested for quality, durability, and consistent performance

• Designed for maximum dewatering with minimal operator effort
  

We provide manual filter press machines in multiple sizes and capacities to match your process needs. Clients can choose:

• Plate size and number of plates

• Cake thickness

• Filtration area

• Custom add-ons like a hydraulic system for future upgrades
  

If you are looking for a manual filter press that is durable, efficient, and affordable, Arunoday Engineering Works has the right solution for you. Our machines are trusted by industries worldwide for their performance and reliability.

The manual filter press was one of the earliest designs in filtration systems, operated by hand to tighten the plates and create pressure. While simple in design, it requires more labor and time, making it less suitable for modern industries.

Today, most businesses prefer hydraulic filter presses or semi-automatic filter presses because they are faster, easier to operate, and more cost-effective in the long run. If you’re looking for efficiency and reduced manpower, upgrading to a hydraulic or semi-automatic model is the smarter choice.
