The development of filter press in the new energy industry

As a highly efficient solid-liquid separation device, the core role of filter presses in the new energy sector can be summarized in three key areas:

Ensuring Product Performance: In the preparation of lithium battery cathode materials, purification of photovoltaic polysilicon, and purification of vanadium flow battery electrolytes, filter presses separate impurities and purify raw materials, ensuring the purity and core performance of batteries, photovoltaic modules, and energy storage devices.

Cost Reduction and Recycling: In lithium battery recycling, leachate and residue are separated to recover precious metals such as lithium and cobalt. Silicon powder is recovered and reused in photovoltaic production, reducing raw material loss and energy consumption.

Environmental Compliance: Treatment of wastewater from lithium battery and photovoltaic production (such as acidic and chlorine-containing wastewater) separates solid impurities, helping the new energy industry achieve wastewater purification and "zero emissions," in line with green development needs.

The application prospects of KERTE filter presses in the new energy sector can be summarized in three key words: "demand explosion, technological leap, and ecological integration":

Demand explosion: The global new energy filter press market is expected to exceed US$8 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate exceeding 12%;

Technological leap: Intelligence, modularization, and material innovation will drive equipment performance improvements of 30%-50% and cost reductions of 20%-30%;

Economic integration: Filter presses will be deeply embedded in the new energy industry chain, evolving from a single piece of equipment to a core node in the "solid-liquid separation + resource recycling" process. Their value will no longer be limited to hardware sales, but will permeate the entire "production-recycling-reuse" chain.

In this process, companies with core technologies (such as high-pressure filter plates and intelligent control systems), deep customer relationships, and proactive circular economy strategies will dominate the market, while manufacturers relying on low-end production capacity will be rapidly eliminated. Over the next decade, filter presses will not only be "supporting equipment" for the new energy industry but will also become "strategic equipment" that defines the industry's competitiveness.
