[0002] Plate and frame filter presses were first used in chemical dehydration machinery. In the current stevia production process, due to the adsorption properties of stevia, a layer of stevia residue will adhere to the surface of the plate and frame after use. If not cleaned for a long time, it will solidify on the plate and frame, affecting the performance and efficiency of the plate and frame filter press.

[0003] A prior art patent application with publication number CN 209033847U discloses a plate and frame filter press for stevia production, including a housing, a first filter screen, and a second filter screen. The housing is connected to a baffle plate with a feeding hole. A support plate is provided between the baffle plate and the inner wall of the housing. A fixing plate is provided on the support plate. The two support plates are fitted with a plate frame. The housing has a water storage tank and a material storage tank, both of which are connected to the interior of the housing. This device is easy to operate and can easily clean the residues attached to the plate frame and the fixing plate, preventing them from solidifying on the plate frame and the fixing plate, thus improving the filtration effect, increasing working efficiency, and extending service life.
