Abstract
In a diaphragm ( ) of a diaphragm press for separating liquid and solid materials by action of a pressure medium on the materials ( ) via the diaphragm ( ), the functions of sealing and retention are separated. This is accomplished by a dual embodiment of the diaphragm ( ) in the form of a substantially sealing diaphragm seal ( ) and a substantially retaining diaphragm carrier ( ). A force transmission from drainage elements ( ) in the press chamber ( ) of a pressing vessel ( ) of the diaphragm press to the diaphragm ( ) can be accomplished by the diaphragm carrier ( ) in a manner that treats the material gently. This substantially improves the service life of the diaphragm ( ).
