Our filter plates are designed for high-performance solid–liquid separation across mining, chemical, and industrial applications. We supply a full range of membrane plates, filter press membrane plates, and plate and frame membrane modules to suit standard and custom filter press systems.
We offer high-quality membrane filter plates engineered for faster cycle times, improved cake dryness, and reduced moisture content. A membrane plate uses flexible diaphragms to squeeze the filter cake, offering superior performance compared with standard chamber plates.
If you are looking for membrane filter plate options or replacing existing units, we can supply compatible plates in various materials, thicknesses, and sizes.
The JVK exchangeable membrane for filter press plates is a high-performance, modular solution designed to maximize dewatering efficiency while significantly reducing maintenance costs. This system enables rapid replacement of the flexible membrane, supporting pressures up to 60 bar and temperatures up to 140°C, making it ideal for harsh operating environments. Available in EPDM, NBR, and TPE, these membranes are designed to fit standard JVK plates ranging from 470x470mm to 2500x2500mm. The technology offers increased cost efficiency and shorter cycle times, reducing total replacement costs by approximately 30%. For more technical details, visit the official JVK page at JVK.
As part of our global partnerships, we work closely with trusted membrane filter plates manufacturers to ensure consistent quality, traceability, and long service life.

JVK membrane technology creates homogeneous cake without cracks by applying a low membrane squeeze pressure during cake washing.
The membrane is easily exchangeable; it is not necessary to exchange the entire filter plate. Only the replacement of the membrane is necessary; membrane materials can be adapted to suit operating conditions.

The primary function of a filter plate is to provide a chamber and support the filter media (like a filter cloth) during the filtration process. The plates are pressed together to form a sealed structure. Inside the plate, channels and drainage ports collect the filtrate (liquid) while the solid cake builds up on the cloth surface.
The main types are defined by their function and design:
(or Plate-and-Frame): These are the most common, designed with a recess to form a filter cake chamber when pressed against an adjacent plate.Pressure filtration works by pumping the slurry (liquid and solid mixture) into the sealed chambers formed by the plates. The liquid (filtrate) is forced through the filter cloth and along the drainage surface of the plate, then out through discharge ports. The solid particles (filter cake) are captured and held against the cloth surface until the chamber is full
The primary advantage of using membrane filter plates is the ability to perform cake squeezing. After the initial filtration phase, the flexible membranes are inflated, applying mechanical pressure to the filter cake. This significantly reduces the final moisture content of the solid cake, which is crucial for maximizing product yield or minimizing drying costs.
The primary difference is the dewatering method: Chamber plates rely solely on feed pump pressure to form the cake, while membrane filter plates feature a flexible diaphragm that physically squeezes the solids. This secondary "squeeze" significantly reduces residual moisture and can shorten filtration cycle times by up to 50%. Membrane plates are the preferred choice for Australian mining concentrates and tailings where high throughput and drier cakes are essential.
Yes, JVK replacement filter plates are designed for 1:1 compatibility with most major OEM filter presses. These high-performance plates are engineered in Germany to match your existing press dimensions—including feed eye location, plate thickness, and handle design—ensuring a seamless retrofit without equipment modification.
JVK plates are commonly used as direct, high-durability replacements for several world-leading manufacturers. Typical compatible systems include:
JVK filter plates are manufactured from high-grade, chemically resistant engineering plastics such as Polypropylene (PP), Polyethylene (PE), and PVDF for aggressive chemical applications. We offer a range of membrane materials including EPDM, NBR, and TPE to suit specific slurry temperatures and chemical compositions.
JVK high-pressure membrane plates can handle post-squeeze pressures of up to 40 bar, depending on the plate size and application. This high-pressure capability allows for exceptionally low residual moisture in the filter cake, optimizing handling and transport costs for industrial and mining operations.
