The invention discloses a solid and liquid separator for materials. The solid and liquid separator comprises a frame, press plates, filter plates, a push-and-pull locking mechanism, a filter cloth mechanism, a filter cloth regeneration mechanism and a cleaning mechanism which are arranged on the frame, wherein the press plates and the filter plates are arranged on the frame in a sliding way alternately, and are matched to extrude a material, so that solid and liquid of the material can be separated; the push-and-pull locking mechanism is used for locking, pushing away all the press plates and filter plates, so that solid-liquid separation operation can be performed, or the material can be discharged; the filter cloth mechanism is used for separating solid and liquid of the material when the material is extruded; the filter cloth regeneration mechanism is used for washing to regenerate the filter cloth after the material is discharged; the cleaning mechanism is used for cleaning the material attached to the separator after solid and liquid of the material are separated. The solid and liquid separator has the characteristics of reasonable design, high structure strength, convenience in operation, complete solid and liquid separation, high separation efficiency, convenience in cleaning, long service life, log maintenance frequency, high reliability, strong practicality and the like, and is beneficial for greatly increasing production benefit of enterprises.
