Horizontal Pressure Leaf Filter

Horizontal leaf filter design is to handle larger filtration capacity. Also, there are few Industrial applications where filter cake is taken for further processing then disposal. Some special applications like sulphur filtration requires access to filter cake for the rough cleaning, horizontal leaf filter can only be used. The horizontal pressure leaf filter can be built in larger units than the vertical type. The housing of the filter leaves is moved outside the filter tank with a hydraulic system, which also operates the bonnet closure. The cake is discharged by a pneumatic vibrator. As the filter is opened during discharge it is easy to monitor the cake discharge.

 The Horizontal Pressure Leaf Filter (HPLF) has emerged as a cornerstone solution for businesses seeking efficient and high-capacity filtration processes. Manufactured and supplied by Filtrex Industries in Thane, Mumbai, India, this advanced filtration system is designed to meet the stringent demands of various industries, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.

Understanding the Horizontal Pressure Leaf Filter

The Horizontal Pressure Leaf Filter is an innovative filtration solution tailored to handle larger filtration capacities. Unlike traditional vertical pressure leaf filters, the HPLF is designed to accommodate larger units, making it ideal for applications where high throughput is essential. This design not only enhances the filtration process but also provides easy access to the filter cake, which is crucial for industries that require further processing of the cake rather than simple disposal.

One of the standout features of the HPLF is its hydraulic system, which moves the housing of the filter leaves outside the filter tank. This system not only facilitates easy maintenance but also ensures smooth operation during the filtration process. The bonnet closure is also operated hydraulically, providing a secure and reliable seal. Additionally, the cake discharge is managed by a pneumatic vibrator, ensuring complete and efficient removal of the filter cake. As the filter is opened during discharge, monitoring the cake discharge becomes a straightforward task, enhancing overall operational efficiency.

Applications and Advantages

The Horizontal Pressure Leaf Filter finds extensive use across various industries, including chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and more. Its ability to handle large filtration capacities and provide easy access to the filter cake makes it a preferred choice for processes such as sulfur filtration, where rough cleaning of the filter cake is necessary.

The advantages of the HPLF are manifold. Its larger filtration area allows for higher throughput, reducing the time and resources required for filtration. The hydraulic system ensures smooth operation and easy maintenance, minimizing downtime. The pneumatic vibrator for cake discharge ensures complete removal of the filter cake, enhancing the overall efficiency of the filtration process. Moreover, the ability to monitor the cake discharge during the opening of the filter provides better control and ensures optimal performance.

Selection and Specifications

Choosing the right HPLF model depends on the specific requirements of your industrial application. Filtrex Industries offers a range of models with varying filtration areas, filter leaf counts, cake volumes, and tank sizes. The selection sheet provided on their website offers detailed information on the available models, helping you make an informed decision.
