Are you saying you can't use the whole filter? Glad I don't have a Smoky Lake press if that's the case. My filter press is a LaPierre, I use either 3 sets of plates or 5 sets, I could also use 4 if I made 2 spacers to get it tight with 4 sets.
Somehow it doesn't make sense that the end plate creates problems, are you sure somthing isn't being installed upside down or backwards?
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.
