filter systems

there are various executions of the

horizontal blade filters

and here we have the reverse flow

execution in the reverse flow the dirty

liquid is entering from the center

and it is diverted over the filter

leaves passing the filter medium

and the clean filter is removed on the

side of the filter plate builder coming

into the tank so in this filter all the

filter cake is encapsuled in the filter

plate buildup

and the solids are not getting in touch

with the

tank for instance for activated carbon

filter it's a very nice execution for

the cleaning purposes

alternative we have the horizontal plate

filters with a heel filtration plate

the bottom plate is separated from the

main outlet

and the system is working in the other

direction the dirty liquid is flowing in

into the vessel fills up the vessel and

then is flowing through the

side of the filter plate over the filter

medium

and the clean filtrate is discharged to

the center

of the tank at the end of the filtration

process the tank is full with liquid

you pressurize it you close the main

outlet

and the remains are filtered over the

bottom filter plate

so there is no heel or left over in the

filter tank which is very nicely for the

applications in the pharmaceutical

industry

the big advantage of the horizontal

plate filter is the horizontal position

of the filter plates

the filter cake is always stable it

never can fall

and that means that you have a secure

filter filter process

in all kinds of processes

filter media what can be used is paper

where you can go down to one or two

micro infiltration rating

but you also can install filter sheets

where you can do sub micro

biological filtration processes down to

0.2 or 0.3 micron
