Stainless Steel Filter Press

A Stainless Steel Filter Press is a specialized industrial filtration machine designed for solid-liquid separation. It operates under pressure to separate solids from liquids (slurries or suspensions), producing a dry filter cake and clear filtrate.

Unlike standard filter presses with polypropylene plates, stainless steel models use high-grade stainless steel (typically SS 304, 316, or 316L) for components in contact with the product. This makes them ideal for corrosive, hygienic, or high-purity applications.

Key Features

• Material: Fully or partially constructed from stainless steel (SS 304/316/316L) for superior corrosion resistance.

• Plates: Stainless steel plates (sometimes combined with PP for non-contact parts); often 7–40+ plates depending on size.

• Closing Mechanism: Hydraulic (common for larger units) or manual.

• Pumps: Often paired with stainless steel diaphragm pumps for food-grade compatibility.

• Design Options: Chamber, membrane, or plate-and-frame; some with drip trays, wheels for mobility, or enclosed systems for aseptic operation.

• Hygiene: Smooth surfaces, easy disassembly, and compatibility with sterilization.

Benefits

• Corrosion Resistance — Handles aggressive chemicals, acids, or chlorinated solutions better than coated or plastic alternatives.

• Hygiene & Cleanability — Meets GMP standards; ideal for food/pharma with no contamination risk.

• Durability — Longer lifespan, withstands high pressures/temperatures.

• Efficiency — Larger filtration capacity, better cake dryness, and reduced maintenance.

• Versatility — Suitable for small lab-scale to large industrial units.

Common Applications

• Food & Beverage → Filtering juices, wine, beer, oils, maple syrup, and edible products.

• Pharmaceuticals → Sterile filtration, blood plasma fractionation, and API production.

• Chemicals → Processing solvents, catalysts, and corrosive slurries.

• Environmental → Wastewater treatment and sludge dewatering.

• Other → Biotechnology, petroleum, metallurgy, and cosmetics.

Salient Features of Filter Press

• Maintenance can be done without lifting the cartridge, only done has to be lifted.

• Construction follows the latest standard & engineering to perfection.

• Available models – 4, 8, 14, 18, 24 & 33 inches plate diameter.

• Available with centrifugal/gear/lobe pump.

• Fitted with pressure gauge, safety valve & air vent.

• Gives crystal clear filtration.

• All contact parts in SS 304/316/316L.

• High degree of finish to all contact parts.

• Minimum hold up of unfiltered slurry, boost in productivity.

Process Operation of  Filter Machine

The liquid is fed into the filter of the machine and it is done under positive pressure. Now, the liquid travels downwards and passes through the opening on the sides of filter plates. The filter media holds back foreign particles and enables only clear filtrate to go past the central channel. This central channel is made by interlocking pressure cups to the outlet. The filtration process continues until the cake holding capacity gets saturated or the filtrate rate gets way slower than it must be. This happens due to decreasing cake resistance.

Our meticulously designed filter press is cost-efficient. And you can bet on its efficiency – it helps save every precious drop.

Technical Specification of  Filter Press

Note:

1. The flow rate is mentioned in terms of water with 5% activated carbon with filter media as polypropylene cloth.
2. Filtration rated depends on viscosity of liquids, quality of filter pads and nature of sediments in liquid to be filtered.

* Power voltage can be adjusted as per customer’s domestic power voltage requirements.
