Abstract
The filter press includes pressing members for pressing the liquid out of a slurry of a solid in a liquid to form a solid cake. The pressing members are then separated to drop the cake through open diverter doors. The pressing members are washed after the diverter doors are again closed. The diverter doors are pivotally mounted with one diverter door having a portion thereof overlapping the top of the other diverter door in the closed position. Means are provided for pivoting the overlapping diverter door from the closed position in a first rotational direction and then in the opposite rotational direction while simultaneously pivoting the other diverter door in said first rotational direction.
