The Industries that Use Filter Press

Filter Press New Zealand

Since the mid 1800s filter press has found multifarious use in the industry. A filter press is evaluated for highest quality standards on various parameters in Australia and since 1800, it has much evolved. It is primarily a type of waste water treatment and is a piece of batch operation. With the use of pressure filtration methodology it separates liquids and solids. It is fixed volume equipment in which slurry is pumped through and as described – dewatered to obtain solids under pressure. 

The industry with highest use of a filter press is Mining Industry. Mining is a primary industry in Australia with the country being top most producers of minerals like bauxite, ilmenite, alumina, rutile, synthetic rutile, zircon and tantalum.  It is also the second largest producer of gold, zinc, lead, iron ore, diamonds (by weight) and uranium. 

Commonly the filter press equipment has 4 elements: a fixed volume, batch pressure filtration technique, polish filter and finally variable volume filter done through a filter plate. 

Apart from the mining industry, this equipment has many other uses in different industries. More industrial uses of filter presses:

1. Bold plasma purification

2. Dewatering of slurries – Mineral mining

3. Ultrafine coal dewatering

4. Filtrate recovery in coal preparation

5. Municipal waste sludge dewatering

6. Ready Mix concrete water recovery

7. Metal concentrate recovery

8. Sugaring operations – like production of Maple syrup

For the industry demands of the current times, filter press technology has time and again proved to be a highly effectual, effective and dependable technique. The product gives an ultraclean mineral and improved quality of water which can be used for equipment cleaning.

The Society for Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration made a special mention of the technique in context of dewatering coal slurries – Pilot scale plate filter press used in coal mining.

Filter press technology is used in many specialised applications in diverse industries because of their consistency and competency in giving quality results.  The appreciation for filter press technology and its diverse applications is quite abounding in the industry.

Composite Decking and its Advantages

Composite Decking

Composite decking is largely made from 2 components - wood scraps which are recycled and plastic.  They look similar to traditional wood planks. Traditionally, they came in plank forms but now they are also available in tiles.

Composite Decking

Composite decks need limited painting and sealing as they are highly resistant to warping, termites, and bugs.  Furthermore, they do not mould or rot. The resistant nature increases the durability of the decks. Safety is another parameter as they are slip proof and have splinter free surface. They provide better value than wooden decks on resale of the property making them an interesting addition to the lifestyle.

Manufacturers provide solutions for composite decking in New Zealand with a variety of colour selection along with other options like handrail and gates.  It does cost more than the lumber initially but is more economical in the long run. Pressure treated materials come out to be less costly in the long run, as all the maintenance is discounted. With a minimum of cleaning requirement in the form only a good scrub, the maintenance is also absolutely hassle-free.

They are very environment friendly and essay efficient use of resources as mostly recycled materials like wood scraps (mill waste and old pallets) and recycled plastic is used in their composition.


The comfort is unparalleled with the manufactures sending the composite lumbar as a finished product and there is no need to sand, paint or stain the material. The material is complete with UV resistant finishing to prevent sun damage.

Composite decking is the non slip alternative to decking

Composite Decking - New Bridge Services

The world of decking has undergone several revolutionary changes in recent times.  These changes have been as the result of experimentation. Wood plastic composite, acronym for WPC is the material constructed out of wood fibre. This composite is made from plastic materials like Polypropylene, PVC-Polyvinyl chloride etc. Besides wood cellulose and Chemical additives (Couplant) also form the part of composite, and it is this composite, used extensively in construction of decking.

WPC shows high performance and based on quite innovative green, eco-friendly technology.  The composite is a timber free alternative for creating high quality and durable decks. 

How will you make the choice of best kind of capped composite decking? It is pretty simple. You need to check the sunlight tolerance, appearance, and moisture absorption capacity. Make sure you compare the costs too.
