    Default Wesfab 7" filter press-extra set of plates

    Anyone know where to pick up an extra set of 7 inch filter press plates? I believe I can fit one more set of plates in mine without replacing the horizontal bolts. Just wondering where to purchase

    Did you try just searching using Google or whatever search engine you use? You can also try whoever bought out WesFab. Some dealers that carried WesFab might have a set around.
    I started with a short bank Lapierre (3 sets) and later added 2 more. It made a huge difference. Mine started with a spacer for each horizontal bar that was no longer needed when I added the 2 additional sets.
    Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
    Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
    Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
    After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.

    CDL owns Wesfab and still sells the presses under that name. Call a CDL dealer

    BAP is correct CDL owns them and still sells the brand. Hang on to your shorts...they aren't cheap. We looked at turning our short into a long. We'd like to change over to a diaphragm pump to. The plates alone encouraged us to sell ours and upgrade when the time comes.
