About Horizontal Pressure Leaf Filter
We offer the high quality of Horizontal Pressure Leaf filter.
Salient Features :
- 1-100 m2 filtration area offered as per requirement.
- Stainless steel filter elements, hence no repetitive cost, washing and maintenance of filter cloth.
- Filtration rate are 2-3 times higher on same filter area.
- Automatic cake discharge with mechanical or pneumatic vibrator options & spray nozzle for wet cake discharge.
- Ideal replacement for plate & frame filter. Closed system, no maintenance due to SS filtration mesh, low retention of oil, less occupancy of space etc.
- Very low% of unfiltered liquid retention in cake.
- Simple & economical bottom opening with 100% opening & optional butterfly valve for vertical PLF
- Closed pressurized operating system hence no spillage & loss of liquid, which helps in handling volatile / inflammable liquids & clean working environment. Entire filtration cycle with cake discharge can be completed without even opening the filter from top.
- Compact & light hence large saving in floor area & supporting structures.

Robust Design and Versatile ApplicationEngineered with stainless steel, this horizontal pressure leaf filter is built for durability and resistance to harsh processing conditions. Its versatility makes it suitable for a range of industries, including grain, herbal, oil, and solvent extraction plants. The manual control system combines with computerized monitoring to offer reliable management and adaptability to different filtration requirements.
Efficient Filtration ProcessThe filter utilizes pressure-driven filtration, where liquid slurries pass through a series of horizontal filter leaves inside a sealed vessel. Solid particles are trapped on the filter surface, while filtrate is collected and discharged. This process yields high clarity and quality for extracted fluids, contributing to consistent outputs in daily production.
FAQ's of Horizontal Pressure Leaf Filter:
Q: How does the Horizontal Pressure Leaf Filter operate?
A: The filter operates by passing liquid slurries through horizontal filter leaves inside a pressurized vessel. Solid impurities are captured on the stainless steel leaves, while the clean filtrate is collected and removed. Control is managed manually with computerized monitoring for precision.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this filtration equipment?
A: Key benefits include high filtration efficiency, robust stainless steel construction for longevity, suitability for multiple extraction processes, and the ability to process up to 5 tons per day. It ensures consistent, clear extracts, making it ideal for industrial applications.
Q: When is the Horizontal Pressure Leaf Filter typically used?
A: This filter is used during the clarification and purification stages in grain, herbal, oil, and fluid extraction plants. It is essential whenever a high throughput and clear filtrate are required in daily operations.
Q: Where can this filter system be installed?
A: Designed for industrial environments, it is suitable for grain processing plants, herbal and oil extraction units, and solvent recovery systems. Its robust design ensures it performs well in diverse processing facilities across India and beyond.
Q: What is the usage process for this filter in an extraction plant?
A: Operators manually load the slurry, initiate filtration through the computerized and manual controls, then monitor the process as solids accumulate on the filter leaves. After filtration, solids can be discharged and the unit is prepared for the next batch.
Q: How does the computerized monitoring enhance manual control?
A: The computerized system provides real-time data and monitoring, helping operators maintain optimal filtration parameters. While control remains manual for flexibility, computerized oversight adds precision and safety to the process.
