DESCRIPTION: ZERO HOLD UP FILTER: it fulfill all the demands for the filtrations, which would discharge solid free filtrate. S.F. zero hold up horizontal closed pressure filter press is able to solve the majority of separation problem with additional features from new concept of zero hold up horizontal closed pressure filter as compare to well known conventional type design.  Different size range, materials of construction and option available ensure that your precise requirements can be accommodated from S.F. ZERO HOLD UP FILTER range.

OPERATION:
The plate pack assembly consists of plates with interlocking cups, plate rings, perforated screens and filter media. Interlocking cups arranged one above other forms single pipeline. The unfiltered liquid is centrally fed under pressure from bottom inlet. The liquid spreads out equally on each plate fitted with filter media. Solids remains on the filter media and clear filtrate flows through gaps on the supporting rings and collects in the shell, which is led out through outlet pipeline. In this process, solids are evenly distributed on each plate. At the end of the cycle the cake can be maximum dried by applying air or inert gas.

The liquid to be filtered is pumped to the tank, where it enters into the individual plates. It passes through the filter media (Paper/Cloth) and crystal clear filtrate comes out through a central channel formed by interlocking cups. The cake formed between the plates can be obtained if required.

The Cartridge assembly consists of plates, perforated screens, spacers and fitter media. Interlocking spacers internally form single pipeline. The unfiltered liquid is centrally fed under pressure from bottom inlet. The liquids spreads out equally on each plate fitted with filter media. Solids remain on filter media and clear. filtrate flows through precisely made holes on sides of plates and collects in the shell, which then comes out through the outlet. In this process, solids are evenly distributed on each plate. The cake is then cleaned from the filter material and used again for filtration process.

Single pass filtration with no solid bypass  Full batch recovery, no separate scavenging system needed.  Proper sealing which allows the filtration of volatile, toxic and inflammable products.  Plate pack arrangement ensures : Any type of filtering media singularly or in combination, can be used to achieve required micron efficiency.  Easy removal and cleaning of the Cartridge Assembly.

• No solid inside the vessel complete recovery of liquids.
• Cake solids can be maximum dried with N2.
• Complete cake retains over the plate.
• Uniform distribution of cake on each plate.
• Uniform filter-aid bed can be formed.
• Reduces the cost of expensive solvents.

• Filtration of Toxic, Hardous, Explosive materials.
• Efficiently cleaned and sterilized.
