Horizontal Plate Type Filter Press

Horizontal Plate Type Filter Press Manufacturer

Horizontal Plate Type Filter Press also known as Sparkler Filter Press, It redefines the easy operation process, engineering process with robustness, and compact filtration. This horizontal plate-type filter press is suitable for syrup, chemicals, beverages, oils, and liquid filtration processes. It is a completely leak-proof and enclosed structure. The product that needs to undergo the process of filtration is fed in the shell through a suitable pump working under positive pressure. Here the liquid further flows inside towards the downwards direction through filter plates present inside. It is then guided to the peripheral holes through filter press openings present on sides that enter the plates. With the increasing pressure of the liquid, the foreign particles are held by the Filter media. The clear filtrate is allowed to pass through the formation of the central channel due to pressure cups interlocked to the outlet. The process of filtration continues until the filtrate rate slows down too much due to the cake resistance or either the unit’s cake holding capacity gets exhausted. Thus the clear filtrate is obtained from the bottom while the impurities get retained on the filter. The filter also has a scavenging arrangement that is responsible for getting the liquid completely filtered. The filter is provided with a various number of plates and diameter that helps to achieve the desired area of filtration and cake holding capacity.

Horizontal Plate Type Filter Press FAQs

A fully enclosed filtration system where liquid is fed under pressure through horizontal filter plates, allowing clear filtrate to pass while impurities are retained on the filter media.

It removes fine herbal particles and suspended solids from syrups and botanical liquids, delivering crystal-clear, particle-free output in a single enclosed filtration cycle.

Fragrances, perfume bases, face tonics, micellar waters, hair serums, floral waters, and liquid soap bases can all be polished to premium clarity.

The leak-proof shell prevents oxidation, evaporation, and atmospheric contamination, protecting volatile and sensitive formulations.

Deep plates hold more solids for heavy herbal extracts, while shallow plates are ideal for low-solid polishing applications.

Yes — built with SS 316 contact parts, mirror-polished interiors, and GMP-compliant hygienic construction.

Filter paper, cloth, sparkler pads, micron-rated sheets, and activated carbon layers for coarse to sub-micron filtration.

Yes — flameproof configurations with explosion-proof electrical components are available for alcohol-based filtration.

From compact R&D models to large commercial units capable of filtering thousands of liters per hour.

Yes — customization options include SS 316L contact parts, electropolished surfaces (Ra ≤0.4µm), validated cleaning protocols, and complete documentation for global regulatory compliance.

The scavenging system uses compressed air or nitrogen to push out residual liquid from plates and pipelines after filtration, ensuring near-total product recovery — especially critical for high-value pharma APIs and herbal extracts.

The bolted top cover allows quick access to the horizontal plate stack, enabling fast and hygienic replacement of filter pads, sheets, or cloth without special tools.

It is compatible with centrifugal pumps for low-viscosity liquids, gear pumps for medium-viscosity syrups, lobe pumps for shear-sensitive products, and roto pumps for high-viscosity formulations.

Yes — it is commonly installed between the manufacturing vessel and liquid filling machine to remove final traces of particles, carbon fines, or impurities.

Available in multiple shell diameters and plate configurations — from small R&D units to large commercial systems capable of filtering thousands of liters per hour.

The GMP-model SS trolley with lockable castor wheels allows easy movement between production areas, simplifying positioning, cleaning, and maintenance.

Yes — enclosed solvent-resistant construction prevents evaporation of volatile aromatic compounds while delivering optically clear fragrance liquids.

Unlike single-stage cartridge filters, it allows multiple filter layers within one housing — enabling coarse filtration, fine polishing, and activated carbon decolorization in a single pass.

Yes — available with SS 316L contact parts, electropolished Ra ≤0.4µm surfaces, validated cleaning protocols, DIN connections, and complete audit documentation.
