Filter plates

Filter plates are used in vertical pressure filters to ensure effective filtration and purification of liquids or gases. They play a key role in ensuring the quality of the filter, as well as in increasing its performance and service life.

• The main filter elements of a vertical pressure filter are internal vertical steel plates. The filter plates are made of stainless steel.
• Each filter plate is composed of 5-layer filter mesh (2-layer filter mesh, 2-layer support mesh and middle support frame).
• The cell size and filtration accuracy depend on the materials that need to be processed.

Main functions of filter plates:

• Mechanical filtration - trapping and removing solid particles from a liquid or gas.
• Chemical filtration - adsorption and removal of various impurities and contaminants from the environment.
• Biological filtration - preventing the growth of microorganisms and bacteria.
• Flow regulation - ensuring uniform distribution of oil over the entire surface of the filter.
• Filter protection - ensuring long-term filter operation without the need for replacement or cleaning.

• Freshly extracted vegetable oil enters the filter and passes through the filter plates.
• Contaminant particles are retained on the surface of the plate, forming a layer of contaminants.
• Clean oil passes through the pores of the plate and exits the filter.
• The layer of contaminants is periodically removed by vibration release

The operating principle of filter plates may differ depending on the type of filter, plate material and operating conditions.

The use of steel provides:

• Long service life and excellent filtration results.
• They withstand high mechanical loads and do not deform at high temperatures, which allows them to be used in conditions of increased aggressiveness of the environment.
• They provide fast and uniform heating of the filtered medium, which improves the quality of filtration and reduces energy costs.
• They are easy to clean from contaminants and can be replaced if necessary, which reduces filter maintenance costs.
• An environmentally friendly material that does not release harmful substances into the environment and does not pollute the filtered medium.
• The steel plates have a long service life and are not subject to corrosion, which ensures stable operation of the filter for a long time.
