Liquid filter PF series

for solidsplatepressure

Pressure plate filter The pressure plate filter of type PF is a filter that operates in a discontinuous manner. The plate-shaped filter elements are arranged as a plate stack in a pressure vessel. The process steps typically performed with this unit are filtration, washing, drying and discharge. All these steps take place under pressure. The filter is used primarily for cake-forming solid-liquid separation of suspensions with a low solids content that are moderately or very difficult to filter. It is also suitable for adsorptive filtration (as a deep bed or precoat filter). The pressure plate filter is frequently used for clarifying filtration. It is a compact unit, operates fully automatically and delivers high throughput rates. Benefits at a glance: • High throughput rates • Fully automatic operation • GMP design is possible (pharmaceutical & food industry) • Low investment costs • Modular turnkey system concepts Versatile technology solutions In order to meet the respective process engineering requirements, the filter cake can be treated in many ways. It can be washed once or several times. To achieve further dehumidification of the filter cake, it is possible to pass air, nitrogen or other gases through it. If necessary, precoat filtration can be performed using filter aids.
