It consists of a strong SS tank with an SS top cover and tightening bolts. Also known as Syrup Filter Press. Filtering unit shall be fitted in the center of the tank and consist of one of SS plates with perforated screens and interlocking cups. The SS top cover shall fit on the gasket and the tightening wing nuts shall provide the ensure the leak-proof seal. A pressure gauge and an air vent shall be provided on the top. The filter press shall have following features.
Operation: Here the direction of flow of liquid is exactly opposite to the flow in standard filter i.e. the impure liquid to be filtered enters the filter from the bottom into the center channel & goes to the top of each plate. The clear filtrate flows out from openings on side of plates to the shell & then to the outlet. This ensures almost 100 % filtration of the liquid which is not so with the standard flow type.
Zero Holdup horizontal plate closed pressure filter that meets all the demands for a filtration which would discharge solid free filtrate
Design of filter press is according to cGMP & FDA approval
Components are argon arc welded & polished to mirror finish
SS jacket can be provided for hot filtration (Optional)
Provides crystal clear filtration by filtering particles up to 1 micron size
No Scavenger arrangement is required
No liquid between the tank & the cartridge
Top dome structure ensures fast & easy removal of cartridge assembly & cleaning of cake
Uniform filter aids & cake distribution
SS pump mounted on SS trolley with heavy duty trust ball bearing caster wheels for easy movement
Provided with different types of pumps depending on the viscosity of liquid & output i.e. Centrifugal pump, Gear Pump, Lobe Pump, Roto Pump Etc
Provided with bypass system, safety valve & sample collecting device
No contamination of internal surface of the shell
Horizontal plate Zero Hold Up filter press is constructed in such a manner that it prevents evaporation,Oxidation, Leakage & Fumes escaping from product
Plates are available in two sizes: Deep plate for higher percentage of caking holding capacity & shallow plate for lesser percentage of cake holding capacity
Filter plate & thickness of cake prevents the cake dropping as well as cracking, thus assuring better filtrate quality
According to requirement filtration area & cake holding capacity can be increased or decreased
