The typical lifespan of a sludge filter press machine can range from 10 to 20 years.

However, this depends on several factors, including:

 Quality of Construction: Higher quality materials and components can extend lifespan.
 Maintenance: Regular maintenance and timely repairs can significantly prolong the machine's life.
 Operating Conditions: Harsh or extreme conditions can lead to quicker wear and tear.
 Usage Frequency: Machines that are used more frequently may experience faster degradation.

Proper care and adherence to operational guidelines can help maximize the lifespan of a filter press.
