Both sparkler filter and zero hold up filter presses are
used to solid liquid separation. The constructions of both machines are same. But they have different working mechanism.
The sparkler filter press is also known as horizontal filter press because
there are horizontally arranged plates in filter cartridge assembly. The zero
hold up filter press known as reverse flow zero hold up filter press because it
works in reverse manner compare to sparkler filter press. The machines have
some important parts used in filtration process are as follows.
Filter Media – The area which collects the impure liquids
Liquor – The solution containing liquid and solids
Pump – Used to feed the slurry into filter press
Cake – The solids filtered out of the liquid
Sparkler Filter Press |
Features of Sparkler
Filter Press:
- The sparkler filter press stops water loss, corrosion, leak and waste getting out of from product.
- The filter plates are available in two sizes: Deep and Shallow
- Deep plates are for large percentage of cake holding capacity and shallow plates are for small percentage of cake holding capacity.
- The horizontal plates are used to prevent the cake dropping as well as cracking, thus assuring better filter quality.
- The filtration area and cake holding capacity can be increased or decreased as per requirement.
- Give crystal clear filtration by filtering particles up to 1 micron size.
- Cake can be dried either by compressed air or by insert gas, steam.
Features of Zero Hold
up Filter Press:
Zero Hold up Filter Press |
- Finish filtering system of the set without any holdup due to opposite circulation of fluid hence large saving in time and cost.
- Back clean service can be provided for ongoing functions.
- Single pass filtration with no solid bypass
- No scavenger agreement needed.
- The cake, filter aid and solids remain totally enclosed allowing filtration of toxic, hazardous and explosive liquids.
Both of these filter presses are used in pharmaceutical
industry, chemical industry, food processing industry, cosmetic industry and
beverages industry.
