Horizontal Pressure Leaf Filter for High Flow Fluid with Low Solid Content

Horizontal pressure leaf filters are your perfect choice for batch processing applications requiring high flow rates with small solids removal. As being placed horizontally, it takes a larger footprint than that of vertical pressure leaf filter. It is widely used in edible oil industry.

No filter cloth is required. Filter leaves are made of 5 layers of stainless steel wire screen and enjoy a long service life and a low maintenance cost;
Movement of bundle or shell by hydraulic power pack makes the filter easy to be observed and discharge filter cakes;
A variety of filter aids can be added and the filter area is up to 200 m²;
Automatic filter cake discharge. The filter can operate in both dry and wet cake discharge modes.
Fully closed structure and fully automated operation reduce environmental pollution and labor costs;
Suitable for batch processing applications requiring high flow rates with small solids removal.

Structure

Horizontal pressure leaf filter (shell retraction or bundle retraction) consists of a filter housing, filter leaves, a pneumatic vibrator assembly, a support frame and a hydraulic power back for bonnet ring opening/closing and shell or bundle retraction.

Category

Horizontal pressure leaf filter shells are divided into the following 3 types according to how it is opened.

With a lower support frame

Horizontal pressure leaf filter with a retractable shell.

With a retractable bundle

With an overhead suspension frame

Wet or Dry Cake Discharge

When filter cake needs to be recycled or disposed as solids, you may choose dry cake discharge, for example, sugar, cocoa or edible oil filtration, activated carbon removal, molten sulphur filtration or catalyst recovery. Compressed air, inert gas or steam is commonly used for cake drying before discharging.

If the cake formation is too low for dry discharge, the disposal is cheap (regeneration for wet discharge is shorter) or the cake needs to be transported via a pump, you may choose wet cake discharge, for example, saline water filtration.

Application

Pressure leaf filters are a closed type automatic solid-liquid separation device and can work with variety of filtering aids. They apply to decolorization and filtration, pharmaceutical oil filtration, crystallization separation process, etc. in the production of oil and grease and chemicals and are mainly used in the following industries.

Food & beverage. Edible oil coarse filtration, bleached oil filtration, gelatin, vinegar, starch, sugar juice, sweet water, etc.; beer, juice, wine, milk, etc.
Petrochemicals. Diesel oil, lubricating oil, petroleum wax, mineral oil products, etc.
Fine chemicals. Resins, varnishes, dyes, lacquers, etc.
Organic chemicals. A variety of organic acids, alcohols, benzene, aldehydes, etc.
Inorganic chemicals. Bromine water, potassium cyanide, fluorite, etc.
