Leaf Filter
Leaf Filter is used for filtration of liquids with higher solid content in the edible oil, chemical, food and pharmaceutical industries. During operation, the liquid passes through the filter leaves, leaving the solids behind in the form of a filter cake. The filtered liquid, or filtrate/clean effluent, exits the filter through the manifold connecting all the filter leaves.
Overview
Once filtration is complete, the filter cake can be discharged from the vessel manually or by hydraulically tilting the vessel.
