Metris Filter Press ACE delivers model predictive control for filter press operations in mineral processing and hydrometallurgical circuits. By applying advanced process control to the filter press cycle, Filter Press ACE reduces cake moisture variability, optimizes cycle times, and improves overall dewatering efficiency.

Filter presses are used across mining operations for the dewatering of mineral concentrates, tailings, and process slurries. Achieving consistent cake moisture within specification while maximizing throughput requires precise management of feed pressure, filtration time, wash sequences, and cake discharge — variables that interact in complex ways under varying feed conditions.

Filter Press ACE manages the complete filter press cycle using model predictive control to maintain optimal feed pressure ramp profiles, adapt wash water volumes to feed variation, and minimize cycle time while meeting cake moisture targets. The result is more consistent product quality, reduced water balance load, and improved filter press availability.
