A handling system of a subframe forming part of a filter plate frame assembly in a horizontal filter ress of a tower type, a method of performing maintenance of such subframe and use of such handling system

Abstract

A handling system of a subframe forming part of a filter plate frame assembly in a horizontal filter press of a tower type is provided. The handling system includes a supporting structure and a suspension arrangement. The supporting structure includes a first longitudinally extending rail and a second longitudinally extending rail which are interconnected with a support surface configured to slidingly support a subframe when being moved in and out of the filter plate frame assembly. The suspension arrangement is arranged in a first end portion of the supporting structure. The suspension arrangement is configured to allow the supporting structure to be selectively and removably connected to the filter press in an area adjacent a filter plate frame assembly. Further, a method of performing maintenance of a subframe is provided, which method involves the use of such handling system.
