Horizontal Filter Press

Operation
The unfiltered liquid is fed into the filter under positive pressure, where liquid travels in downward direction & finds its way through opening on sides of the Filter Plates. As the liquid pressure increases, the filter media holds the foreign particles & allows only clear filtrate to pass through the central channel formed by interlocking pressure cups to the outlet. Filtration is continued until the cake holding capacity of the unit is reached or until rate becomes too slow due to cake resistance.

We provide Quality Documents like D.Q. / I. Q. / O. Q & Operation Manuals with all test Certificates. We also provide test & calibration certificates with each instrument & traceability to National & International standards.

Special Note
Filtration rate depends on viscosity of liquids, quality of Filter Papers/media & nature of sediments in liquids to be filtered. For 24 and above dia filter press, pump & motor are mounted on separate trolleys. Output mentioned is in terms of water type liquid having sp. Gr. 1.0 & activated carbon loading 5 Kgs. / m2 filtering area.

It is manufactured from AISI 304-304L / 316-316L quality. All joints are argon arc welded and polished to mirror finish. Type of pump depends upon the Chemical & Physical properties of the liquid to be filtered. All necessary connection i.e. pressure gauge, safety valve and air vent valve are provided. Cartridge consists of horizontally arranged filter plates, perforated supporting screens, interlocking cups, center rod, tie rods & filter media. Sample taking device can be provided. For Hot Filtration AISI 304/316 Jacket is provided to shell for circulating heating media. Complete unit is mounted on S. S. trolley & fitted with Castor wheels for easy movement. The filter press is generally used to obtain clear filtrate. Specially designed scavenger plate for complete filtration are provided 18 & above models. If required actual testing can be carried out at our works, for which, require quantity of the liquid would be arranged by the customer; otherwise testing can be carried out with Water & insoluble carbon / high flow.

Technical Specification
(Reverse Flow Type)

Fittings : A Standard filter comes with inlet, outlet, pressure guage, bypass, safety valve, sampler, pump & SS Trolley.

Operating Pressure : 3 to 5 Kg / Cm2

Maximum Working : 1000 - 2000 C (Depending on filter media)

Note : The flow rate mentioned is in terms of water with 5% carbon and filter to poly propylene paper. Filtration rate may change depending on viscosity of liquids, quality of filter media and nature of solids in liquid to be filtered.

Salient Features
The range of Stainless Steel Sparkler type Filters ensures precisely the right filtration characteristics for all application in Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Beverages, distilleries & Food industries.

The cake, filter aid & solids remain totally enclosed allowing filtration of toxic, hazardous & explosive liquids.

Back wash facility can be provided for continuous operations.

Complete filtration of the batch without any holdup due to reverse flow of liquid hence large savings in time & cost.

Zero Hold up type sparkler filters work on reverse flow principle and are used for crystal clear filtration by filtering particles up to 1 micron size.
