Chamber filter presses are devices designed specifically for dewatering any kinds of sludges. For years, they have been used in suspension and liquid filtration processes.
A number of presses have been in use for many decades. They still have cast iron, aluminium or other plates in them. Manual hold-down clamps in smaller presses, and obsolete pneumatic or hydraulic hold-down clamps in bigger ones do not meet the required standards.

When replacing a worn out machine by a new one is beyond its user's resources, OFTIM offers the following services:
- replacement of old plates by new polypropylene (PP) plates
- replacement or refurbishment of existing hydraulic systems (closing/ opening of the press)
- modification or upgrade of control systems
- selecting proper filter fabrics
- provision of a regular supply of filter cloths
In each individual case, the scope of upgrade works is to be agreed and tailored to the user's needs and potential.

Below you will find sample pictures of some of the upgrades carried out by our company:
