SAMCO pressure leaf filters (PLF) use internal filter leafs that provide submicron particulate removal. Sometimes pre-coated, they are designed specifically for high flow rates and can be configured for dry cake or sluice discharge and cleaning efficiency.
These flexible filters can be configured in several styles including:
- Horizontal shell with vertical leafs for maximum surface area capabilities
- Vertical shell with vertical leafs for limited floor space or intermittent flow rates
- Single leaf Nutsche for efficient product recovery
Pressure leaf filters are often used in the following industries:
- Brewery & Spirits
- Tallow & Edible Oils
- Sulfuric Acid Production
- Pharmaceuticals & Cosmetics
- Plating Bath Recycle
- Brine Polishing
- Sugars & Sweeteners
- Mining & Minerals
- Chemical Processing
Advantages:
- Reduces volume of sludge disposal
- Can be effective for zero liquid discharge (ZLD)
Disadvantages:
- Increases capital cost
- Large footprint
