Stainless Steel Filter Press

Liquid is fed into the filter assembly under controlled positive pressure. The fluid flows downward through peripheral openings on the filter plates; the filter media captures particles while clear filtrate passes through. Filtrate is directed via a central drainage channel formed by interlocked pressure cups. The cycle continues until the cake reaches full capacity or the flow rate drops significantly due to increasing cake resistance.

All product-contact parts are fabricated from high-grade stainless steel—SS 304, SS 316, or SS 316L. Surfaces feature a high-polish, mirror-like finish for cleanliness and easy sanitation. This construction provides excellent structural integrity, chemical resistance, and durability compared with coated or plastic alternatives.

Key features include easy servicing (only the cover needs to be raised, without lifting the entire cartridge), construction to the latest industry standards, availability in standard plate diameters of 4, 8, 14, 18, 24, and 33 inches, compatibility with centrifugal, gear, or lobe pumps, built-in pressure gauge, safety relief valve, and air vent valve, exceptionally clear particle-free filtrate, and minimal retention of unfiltered slurry for higher productivity.

It is widely used in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, herbal, Ayurvedic, biotech, cosmetic, and chemical industries—anywhere reliable solid-liquid separation, sterility, and product purity are required.

It handles aggressive chemicals, acids, or chlorinated solutions better than coated or plastic alternatives; meets GMP standards with no contamination risk (ideal for food and pharma); offers a longer lifespan and withstands high pressures and temperatures; provides larger filtration capacity, better cake dryness, and reduced maintenance; and is suitable for everything from small lab-scale units to large industrial installations.

Standard plate diameters include 4, 8, 14, 18, 24, and 33 inches. Output capacities range from approximately 250 LPH (smaller configurations) up to 21,000 LPH or more, depending on the number of plates, plate height, filtering area, and cake-holding space. Motor power and pump sizes are matched accordingly (e.g., 1 HP to 5 HP and ½″ to 2″ pumps). Power voltage can be adjusted to local requirements.

Yes. The high-grade stainless-steel construction, mirror-polish finish on all contact surfaces, and GMP-compliant design make it ideal for pharmaceutical, food, and biotechnology processes where product purity and zero contamination risk are critical.

Service and upkeep can be carried out without lifting the entire cartridge—only the cover needs to be raised. The design also supports minimal slurry retention and reduced overall maintenance needs, contributing to higher operational productivity and longer equipment life.

Yes. It can be integrated with centrifugal, gear, or lobe pumps according to the specific application and process requirements, giving flexibility across various industrial setups.
