AFP Series Automatic Filter Presses

AFP Series automatic filter presses are Minerza’s heavy-duty solution for large-scale dewatering and solid–liquid separation across the mining and minerals processing industries. Built for performance and reliability, these systems operate at pressures up to 16 bar and are configurable with recessed or membrane plates in sizes up to 2500 mm. Each unit is engineered for high availability, low power usage, and fast cycling — making them ideal for filtered tailings or concentrate dewatering.

With advanced features like automatic cloth washing, center-mounted closure cylinders, and rapid discharge mechanisms, the AFP Series ensures minimal downtime and the lowest cost per tonne of filtrate. Designed to recover over 200 m³ of water per hour, a single installation can help reduce environmental impact and maximise process water reuse — meeting the demands of high-throughput operations while delivering long service life with minimal maintenance.
