Hello,

I was wondering what the best way to get all of the remaining syrup out of the filter press when finished filtering. I understand many people just open the press up and dump the trapped clean syrup and unfiltered back into another tank to be filtered the next operation. Is it an ok practice to allow the diaphragm pump to slowly push air into the press to force the remaining syrup out? Will the air disrupt the DE and papers causing it to push the unfiltered material through the clean syrup outlet? I just finished filtering my last batch, and need some help on getting the remaining syrup out.


Thanks
