PRIMARY USES
1. Solid-Liquid Separation in Industrial and Mining Processes
Primary Use: Filter plates are the core components of Diemme filter presses, used for solid-liquid separation in mining, mineral processing, chemical, and industrial wastewater treatment applications. Essential for dewatering concentrates, tailings, and various slurries to recover valuable solids and produce clean filtrate.
How it helps: For process engineers and plant operators, Diemme filter plates deliver efficient cake formation and filtration performance. The plates are available in various sizes (from 500 x 500 mm up to 5,000 x 5,000 mm). Diemme filter presses feature two main plate technologies: recessed chamber plates (for standard filtration) and membrane plates with variable-volume chambers (for applications requiring washing stages with solvents or drying stages with compressed air) . The plates are customisable to handle a diverse range of products and process conditions, with different material options available depending on the process temperature and chemical composition of the product to be filtered.
2. Membrane Technology for Enhanced Performance
Primary Use: Membrane plates are equipped with flexible membranes on the filtration surface that enable variable-volume chambers for squeezing and dewatering filter cakes.
How it helps: When the application requires washing stages with solvents or drying stages with compressed air, special plates with variable-volume chambers are necessary . The membrane plates allow for additional mechanical pressing of the filter cake after initial filtration, reducing moisture content and improving cake dryness. This technology significantly enhances the efficiency of the filtration process, particularly in mining applications where dewatering is critical for downstream handling and transport of concentrates and tailings.
SECONDARY USES
1. Filter Cake Washing: Membrane plates enable washing stages with solvents to remove impurities from filter cakes.
2. Cake Drying: Compressed air drying stages can be implemented with membrane plates for further moisture reduction.
3. Fast-Cycling Applications: In high-throughput applications such as mining concentrates and tailings, Diemme GHT F filter presses with specialised plate systems are developed for fast cycling operation .
4. Heavy Duty Mining: The GHT series with sizes from 1200 to 2500 mm provides high productivity for demanding mining applications, with plate counts ranging from 38 to 246 and filtration areas from 100 to 2,200 m² .
5. High-Pressure Applications: Diemme plates can operate at working pressures from 0 to 30 bar depending on the plate size, model, and application requirements .

Access: Use integrated maintenance platforms or stairs to access the top of the machine for safe cloth maintenance operations .
Training requirement: Maintenance personnel must be properly trained on the safe and correct procedures for handling and installing filter plates on the specific Diemme filter press model.
2. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Exposure: If slurry or chemicals splash into the eyes, flush immediately with plenty of clean water for at least 15 minutes, holding eyelids open. Seek medical attention.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash exposed skin with soap and water. If irritation develops or chemical burns occur, seek medical attention.
Inhalation: If chemical fumes or dust are inhaled, move to fresh air. If symptoms persist (coughing, difficulty breathing), seek medical attention.
3. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammability: Filter plates (typically polypropylene) are combustible. Use extinguishing media appropriate for plastic fires.
Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, foam, dry chemical powder, or carbon dioxide (CO₂) for fires involving filter plates.
Fire Response: In the event of a fire, evacuate the area and call emergency services. Use appropriate extinguishers.

They are commonly used in various applications, including powering pneumatic tools, inflating tires, and providing compressed air for industrial processes.
Hammer Mill
A Hammer Mill is an industrial grinding machine used to crush, pulverize, shred, and reduce the size of various materials such as grains, biomass, minerals, and agricultural products. It operates by rotating hammers attached to a spinning rotor that strike the material, breaking it down into smaller pieces which pass through a screen for size control. Hammer Mills are widely used in feed production, biomass processing, recycling, and mineral processing due to their efficiency and versatility. They come in various sizes and configurations, suitable for fine to coarse grinding and are essential in agriculture, manufacturing, and energy industries.
Motor
A Motor is an electromechanical device that converts electrical energy into mechanical motion, commonly used to power machines, tools, pumps, fans, and other mechanical systems. Motors come in various types, including AC motors, DC motors, single-phase, and three-phase variants, each designed to match specific application requirements. They vary in size, torque, speed, and efficiency depending on the use case—from small appliances to industrial machinery. Electric motors are essential components in automation, manufacturing, HVAC systems, agricultural equipment, and countless mechanical operations where consistent, reliable power is required for movement or rotation. Their energy efficiency, long lifespan, and ease of integration make them a cornerstone of mechanical design.
Oil Expeller
An Oil Expeller is a mechanical device used to extract oil from oil-bearing seeds and nuts through a process of high-pressure mechanical pressing. It typically consists of a screw shaft, pressing chamber, and power system (manual, electric, or engine-driven), and is widely used in small-scale farms, local oil mills, and commercial processing units. Capable of handling materials like sunflower seeds, groundnuts, soybeans, mustard, coconut, and sesame, oil expellers are available in both cold press and hot press variants. This machine enables efficient, chemical-free oil extraction, producing unrefined oil and residual seed cake for further use.
Poker vibrator shaft
A poker vibrator shaft, also known as a concrete vibrator shaft or simply a vibrator shaft, is a tool used in construction and concrete work. It consists of a long, slender, and flexible rod or shaft, typically made of steel, with an eccentrically mounted vibrator head at one end. The vibrator head contains an electric or pneumatic motor that generates vibrations.
The primary purpose of a poker vibrator shaft is to consolidate and remove air pockets or bubbles within freshly poured concrete. When the vibrator head is immersed in the concrete mix, the vibrations it generates help to ensure uniform distribution of the concrete, enhance its density, and eliminate voids. This process, known as concrete consolidation, improves the strength and durability of the concrete structure.
Stone Separator
A stone separator is an agricultural or industrial machine designed to remove stones and other unwanted materials from grains, seeds, soil, or construction aggregates. Using vibration, airflow, or gravity-based separation methods, it ensures cleaner, higher-quality end products. Stone separators are commonly used in farming, food processing, milling, and construction to improve operational efficiency and prevent equipment damage from hard debris.
Tap and Die Set
A tap and die set is a collection of tools designed for threading and cutting threads on screws, bolts, and other fasteners. The set typically includes various sizes of taps and dies, which are used for creating or repairing threads on metal surfaces. Taps are used to cut internal threads, while dies are used for cutting external threads.
A 32-piece set implies that it contains 32 individual tools, which may include both taps and dies in different sizes. The sizes can vary to accommodate a range of thread specifications commonly found in mechanical and automotive applications. These sets are useful for machinists, mechanics, or anyone involved in metalworking who needs to create or repair threads in various sizes and diameters. The set may also come with a case for organization and storage, making it a convenient and versatile tool kit for threading tasks.
