Zero Hold Up Filter Press

Zero Hold up Filter Press Manufacturer

Zero Hold up Filter Press is used for achieving clear filtration quality for high value liquids. Meeting GMP & FDA norms, these filter presses can be made available with support of different pumps like Centrifugal, Gear, Lobe and Roto as per the specific process application demands. Further, the cartridge assembly comprises perforated screens, plates, spacers as well as fitter media to provide for optimum process support.
The Zero Hold Up filter press is used for achieving clear filtration quality for high-value liquids. The press has the cake filter aid and solids enclosed which conveniently allows the filtration of toxic, hazardous, and explosive liquids. It has a dome structure that enables quick removal of the cartridge assembly and cleaning of the cake. The plates are flexible enough to be increased as the toxic levels of input increase. It features high due to its substantial flowrate and quality output. Since there is a reverse flow of liquid there is zero hold up in the filter press that helps in the complete filtration of the batch. The filters are most suited for filtration of products in the chemical, distillery, beverage, ink, oil, and other allied industries. It provides a single pass clarity, a uniform distribution of cake on each plate, and the cake can easily be dried by air and nitrogen.

Zero Hold up Filter Press FAQs

A Zero Hold Up Filter Press is a closed-circuit filtration system with reverse flow discharge that ensures virtually no liquid retention inside the system, unlike conventional filter presses that leave product residue after filtration.

It guarantees near-100% batch recovery and crystal-clear filtration, minimizing product loss for high-value herbal syrups, tonics, asavas, and arishtas.

Pharma syrups, suspensions, injectables, Ayurvedic tonics, cosmetic liquids, perfume bases, essential oils, and more.

Compressed air or nitrogen reverses flow after filtration, pushing out residual liquid from plates and pipelines for up to 99.9% recovery.

Yes — manufactured with SS 316/316L contact parts, electropolished surfaces, and GMP-compliant hygienic construction.

Available in 8”, 14”, 18”, 24”, and 33” plate diameters with filtration capacities from 600 LPH to 30,000 LPH.

Yes — activated carbon layers allow simultaneous filtration and decolorization in a single pass.

Yes — when configured with SIP and 0.22-micron sterile membrane filters, it supports aseptic injectable and ophthalmic production.

Yes — it integrates easily between the manufacturing vessel and filling machine with flexible pipeline connections.

Yes — full documentation including MTC certificates, surface finish reports, hydro test certificates, and OQ protocols is provided for audit readiness.

The bottom central inlet ensures uniform distribution of unfiltered liquid across all horizontal plates. This promotes even cake formation, balanced pressure distribution, and consistent clarity across every filtration cycle.

The system supports filter paper, filter cloth, sparkler pads, activated carbon layers, diatomaceous earth (Kieselguhr), and micron-rated polypropylene sheets — individually or combined for precision filtration.

Yes — the fully enclosed, pressure-tight shell with flameproof options allows safe filtration of alcohol-based Ayurvedic products, volatile solvents, and sensitive pharma intermediates without exposure risk.

The quick-release bolted top dome provides easy access to the plate cartridge assembly, enabling rapid media replacement, inspection, and cleaning with minimal downtime.

Yes — the filter press supports Kieselguhr pre-coat filtration, forming an ultra-fine filtration bed ideal for removing submicron particles and microbial contaminants.

By eliminating product holdup and increasing yield per batch, it reduces raw material losses and maintenance costs, delivering rapid ROI for pharma and Ayurvedic manufacturers.

The interlocking spacer design ensures uniform solids distribution, preventing cake channeling and premature blockage even with dense herbal concentrates.

Yes — it integrates seamlessly between manufacturing vessels and filling machines with flexible pipeline connections and optional mobile trolley systems.

Yes — comprehensive documentation including MTC certificates, hydrostatic test reports, surface finish records, dimensional drawings, and OQ protocols are provided for regulatory audit readiness.
