Horizontal Filter Press
Zero hold up ( Reverse flow ) sparkler filter.
Zero fold up sparkler filters work on reveres flow principle & are used for crystal clear filtration by filtering particles up 1 micron size.
Compete filtration of the batch without any holdup due to reveres flow of liquid hence large saving in time & cost.
Back wash facility can be provide for continuous operations.
SS jacket can be provided for hot filtration.
No. scavenger arrangement required.
The cake, filter aid & solids remain totally enclosed allowing filtration of toxic, hazardous & explosive liquids.
No contamination of internal surface of shell.
GMP / cGMP design.
( 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/Cm3
Maximum Working : 100o- 200o C ( Depending on filter media)
Note: The flow rate mentioned is in terms of water with 5% carbon & filter to poly propylene paper. Filtration rate may change depending on viscosity of liquids, quality of filter media & nature of solids in liquid be filtered.
The range of S.S Sparkler type filters ensures precisely the right filtration characteristics for all application in Chemical, Pharmaceutical, & Beverages, Distilleries & Food Industries. It is manufactured from AISI 304-304L / 316-316L quality. All joints are argon arc welded & 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 & 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 id provided to shell 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 carried out works, for which, require quality of liquid would be arranged by the customer: otherwise testing can be carried out with water & insoluble carbon/ high flow.
The unfiltered liquid is fed into filter under positive pressure, where liquid travel in downward direction & finds its way through opening on side of the filter plates.
As the liquid pressure increase, 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 rate becomes too slow due to cake resistance.
We provide quality documents like (DQ, IQ,OQ & Operation manuals with all test certificates. We also provide test & calibration certificates with each instrument & traceability to National & International standards.
Filtration rate depends on viscosity of liquids, quality of filter papers/ media & nature of sediments in liquids to be filtered for 24" & above dia filter press, pump & motor are mounted on separate trolleys
Output mentioned is in term of water type liquid having sp. Gr. 1.0 & activated carbon loading 5 kgs/ m2 filtering area.
