1. The invention relates to a filter press (1,100,200) for separating the solid components from the liquid components of a slurry comprising side beams (4) and a plurality of filter plates (6,106,206) oriented at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the side beams wherein said filter plates are adapted to move along said side beams, a stationary end (5,105,205) arranged on one end of the side beams, a movable head (8,108,208) adapted to transport said filter plates along the side beams, , a press system (26,126,226) adapted to exert a closing pressure on said filter plates to press the filter plates against each other and wherein the press system (26,126,226) comprises at least one actuator (27,127,227) at least one electrically driven actuator (27,127,227) adapted to generate an axially directed force which is exerted on the filter plates by means of the movable head (8,108,208). The invention also relates to a method for separating the solid components from the liquid components of a slurry.
