Horizontal Plate Filter - Sulphurnet

Summary

The Sofa Net workshop introduces horizontal plate filters, widely used in industries like pharmaceuticals for challenging filtration tasks. These filters are available in reverse flow and heel filtration plate designs, ensuring clean filtrate and minimal residue. They feature stable filter plates, preventing cake collapse, and can use various filter media for micro to sub-micron filtration. For more information, contact Sofa Net.

Takeaways

• 📈 The horizontal plate filters are widely used in various industries such as pharmaceuticals and resin filtration.
• 🔄 These filters have been on the market for many years, indicating their reliability and established use.
• 💊 They are particularly useful for filtration of sticky products and those that have difficulties with self-cleaning.
• 🔄 The script mentions two types of horizontal plate filters: reverse flow and heel filtration plate.
• 🔄 In the reverse flow design, dirty liquid enters from the center, and clean filtrate is removed on the side, encapsulating the filter cake within the filter plate.
• 🔄 The heel filtration plate design separates the bottom plate from the main outlet, ensuring no residue is left in the tank after filtration.
• 🔄 The horizontal plate filter's design ensures that the filter cake is always stable and does not fall, providing a secure filtration process.
• 📄 Filter media options include paper for microfiltration down to 1-2 microns and filter sheets for submicron and biological filtration down to 0.2 or 0.3 microns.
• 💌 Interested parties can contact SULFURNET for more information or to inquire about the filters via email at [email protected].

Q & A

What is the primary use of horizontal plate filters?

Horizontal plate filters are used in various applications, including pharmaceutical applications, resin filtration, and filtration of furnaces and other sticky products that have difficulties with self-cleaning.

How long have horizontal plate filters been on the market?

The script indicates that horizontal plate filters have been on the market for many years.

What is the reverse flow execution in horizontal plate filters?

In the reverse flow execution, the dirty liquid enters from the center, is diverted over the filter leaves, passes the filter medium, and the clean filtrate is removed on the side of the filter plate.

Why is the reverse flow execution beneficial for activated carbon filtration?

The reverse flow execution is beneficial for activated carbon filtration because the filter cake is encapsulated in the filter plate buildup, preventing the solids from touching the tank, which is advantageous for cleaning purposes.

What is the heel filtration plate execution in horizontal plate filters?

In the heel filtration plate execution, the bottom plate is separated from the main outlet, and the dirty liquid flows into the vessel, fills it up, and then flows through the side of the filter plate over the filter medium, with the clean filtrate discharged to the center of the tank.

How does the heel filtration plate execution benefit pharmaceutical applications?

The heel filtration plate execution benefits pharmaceutical applications as it ensures no heel or leftover in the filter tank, which is crucial for maintaining cleanliness and precision in pharmaceutical processes.

What is the advantage of the horizontal position of filter plates in horizontal plate filters?

The horizontal position of the filter plates ensures that the filter cake is always stable and cannot fall, providing a secure filtration process in all kinds of applications.

What types of filter media can be used with horizontal plate filters?

Horizontal plate filters can use paper filter media for infiltration ratings down to one or two micrometers, or filter sheets for sub-micron and biological filtration processes down to 0.2 or 0.3 micron.

How can one get more information about horizontal plate filters?

For more information about horizontal plate filters, one can get in touch with SulfurNet, who will provide further explanations or offer their services for these filters.

What is the contact information for SulfurNet regarding horizontal plate filters?

Interested parties can contact SulfurNet at [email protected] for more information or to discuss the filters.

What are the key features of horizontal plate filters that make them suitable for sticky products?

Horizontal plate filters are suitable for sticky products due to their ability to handle self-cleaning difficulties, encapsulate filter cake within the filter plate buildup, and maintain a stable filter cake position.
