Sanitary Filter Press

Sanitary Filter Press

A Sanitary Filter Press is a specially designed filtration system built with high-polish stainless steel plates, smooth surfaces, and easy-clean features to meet strict hygienic standards. It is used for solid-liquid separation in food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology industries. Its design allows thorough cleaning, prevents bacterial growth, and ensures compliance with FDA, 3A, and EHEDG sanitary requirements while delivering high-purity filtrate and dry filter cake.

Horizontal Filter Press

Plate & Frame Filter Press

A Plate & Frame Filter Press is a traditional, versatile filtration system consisting of alternating plates and frames that form chambers for cake formation. It operates under high pressure to separate solids from liquids, producing dry filter cakes and clear filtrate. It is widely used in chemical processing, mining, wastewater treatment, and general industrial applications due to its reliability, simplicity, and excellent dewatering performance.

Membrane Filter Press

Membrane Filter Press

A Membrane Filter Press is an advanced dewatering system that uses inflatable membranes to compress the filter cake after the initial filtration cycle. This secondary squeezing stage significantly increases cake dryness and reduces moisture content. It is highly effective for difficult-to-dewater sludges and is widely used in wastewater treatment, mining, chemical processing, and industrial effluent treatment where maximum solids dryness is required.

Sludge Filter Press

A Sludge Filter Press is a robust, high-pressure filtration system engineered specifically for dewatering thick, high-solid content sludge. It uses a series of filter plates to separate water from sludge, producing a dry filter cake and clear filtrate. Widely used in municipal wastewater treatment, industrial effluent processing, mining, and chemical plants, it significantly reduces sludge volume and disposal costs while helping meet strict environmental regulations.
