The Hydroflux CakeMax Filter Press is a reliable and efficient dewatering system designed to maximise dry solids content while minimising sludge volume. Engineered for performance and durability, the CakeMax Filter Press produces a high-solids filter cake, reducing disposal costs and improving operational efficiency.
Suitable for many industrial applications, including mining, manufacturing and infrastructure projects, the Hydroflux Filter Press is available in various sizes and configurations to meet specific process requirements. With options for semi-automated and fully automated operation, it ensures consistent, high-quality dewatering results.
Key Advantages of the CakeMax Filter Press include:
The CakeMax filter press consists of a series of interconnected plates with filter cloths held together by a hydraulic ram. These plates create voids between them, where dewatering occurs as the feed pump applies pressure to the slurry. The process typically starts with chemical conditioning, where polymer is added to the sludge to bind particles into larger flocs, improving dewatering efficiency, however, in some cases, dewatering can be achieved without the use of chemicals.
CakeMax Filter presses can be semi-automatic or fully automated. Semi-automatic CakeMax filter presses rely on an operator to release the hydraulic ram once the dewatering cycle is complete. Once the pressure is released, each of the plates are pulled apart, allowing the filter cake to drop into a bin below.
The fully automated CakeMax filter press uses a pneumatic plate shifter to open the plates automatically once the press has completed the dewatering cycle. Automation of the CakeMax filter press considerably increases the daily capacity of the unit by increasing the number of cycles that can be completed without operator intervention.
Membrane plates in a filter press are specialised plates equipped with flexible diaphragms that expand and contract to enhance dewatering efficiency by improved cake dryness and reduced cycle times. They are particularly beneficial for dewatering sludge that is highly compressible or difficult to filter.
Initially, the filter press operates conventionally, with sludge pumped into the chambers between the plates, allowing solids to accumulate on the filter cloths and form a cake. Once the initial filtration phase is complete, the membranes are inflated using air, water, or another fluid, mechanically compressing the cake to remove additional moisture. These features make them ideal for industries requiring highly efficient dewatering, such as mining and infrastructure.
Hydroflux CakeMax filter presses are available in various plate sizes, configurations, and automation levels. The capacity of a CakeMax filter press is determined by the volume of dewatered cake produced per batch, which depends on plate size, the number of plates, cake dryness, and filtration cycle duration.
The table below provides indicative cake volume capacities for different plate sizes. The daily capacity varies based on the dewatering cycle time, which is influenced by the specific application. Semi-automated models typically operate between 1 to 4 cycles per day, while fully automated versions can exceed 24 cycles per day.

Get an FLS Vacuum Drum Filter tailored to your operation to kick productivity into high gear. We supply many special drum filter designs for unique use cases in many industries.
The drum filter’s basic operating principle is easy. Everything happens during one revolution of the drum: filter cake forming, cake drying, filtrate discharge and cake discharge. The filtration area on the drum surface is divided into separate cells, connected by individual pipes to a vacuum system.
The drum can be operated at various speeds to control cake thickness. The time available for the various filtration steps (cake filtration, washing, air drying) can be adjusted via the filter control valve. Slurry is continuously fed into the filter vat and an adjustable overflow weir controls the liquid level.
For efficient operation of the filter, the vat is equipped with an agitator to prevent solids from settling. Cake discharge takes place on the descending side of the drum.
The drum filter is easy to use and maintain and offers the following benefits:
