Tailor Made EquipmentPressure Leaf Filter

Muez Hest provides the Pressure Leaf Filter which consist of vertical Mild Steel or Stainless Steel tank with vertically mounted filter leaves inside on a common manifold pipe, through which the filtered liquid flows out.

For dry cake discharge, the filter cake is dried with compressed air, inert gas or steam, before the cake is discharged by a pneumatic vibrator connected directly to the vibrating shaft. In the case of wet cake discharge, the filters are fitted with an oscillating sluice pipe, which is located above the leaves. The filter cake is discharged as concentrated slurry via the bottom cone.

Muez Hest also offers Jacket for hot filtration with desired over flow, vent/steam/air charging pressure gauge & safety valve are provided on the top.

A mechanical jack is provided to lift the top for cleaning and removing the leaves. Removal of the cake is via a pneumatically actuated butterfly valve, or a simple and economical manual swing type cake door.
