McLanahan and Diefenbach have presented the QUICKCHANGE
system, designed to streamline filter press maintenance.
McLanahan has heralded its QUICKCHANGE system as a key innovation in filter press technology.
McLanahan unveiled the new technology with Diefenbach as part of its showcase at bauma 2025 in Munich, Germany during April earlier this year.
The new QUICKCHANGE system is designed to enhance filter press maintenance’s speed, safety and efficiency. It does this by streamlining the filter cloth replacement and filter plate inspection.
The system’s design enables cloths to be quickly switched during replacement without the manual labour or specialised equipment used in traditional methods. This means filter press maintenance can be conducted in one to two minutes compared to the standard replacement time of 10–20 minutes.
The unique innovation means that workers no longer need to climb into or onto filter presses to carry out cloth changeout. This enhances safety and reduces workers’ need to perform maintenance from heights or confined spaces. The QUICKCHANGE system allows workers to remove or inspect clothes at eye level efficiently.
The QUICKCHANGE system also means only the damaged side of the filter cloth needs to be replaced when damaged, unlike in traditional methods, which require the whole filter cloth to be replaced.
“Filter cloth replacement has long been the leading cause of downtime for filter presses in the mining, aggregates, and water treatment industries. With QUICKCHANGE, we’ve reduced that downtime for cloth changeout by a factor of ten or more,” Diefenbach managing director Alessandro Felicani said.
Following the product’s debut at bauma 2025, which included a live demonstration for attendees, the QUICKCHANGE system will be available for customers. The QUICKCHANGE system will be available through McLanahan, Diefenbach, and Eagle Iron Works throughout in 2025.
