Laboratory Filter Press

Lodha International LLP is the leading manufacturer of the laboratory filter press for R&D Lab, an important tool for filtering substances in research and development labs. This filter press operates by pumping the substance to be filtered into the shell using an appropriate pump. The substance then passes through the interior filter plates. Products enter the plates through lateral holes, where contaminants are captured on the filter media, and the clear filtrate exits from the bottom outlet. The filter's built-in scavenging system makes certain that all of the filtered liquid is effectively removed, providing clean results.

The filter press for R&D lab is designed with flexibility in mind, offering numerous combinations with varying plate diameters and counts to achieve the desired filtering area and cake holding capacity. This makes it suitable for a range of applications and product volumes. Whether you need to buy a laboratory filter press for R&D or are looking for a pilot filter press for laboratory use, Lodha International LLP offers a reliable solution. As a leading manufacturer of laboratory filter press for R&D lab, Lodha International LLP provides high-quality, efficient equipment to meet the stringent requirements of any research and development setting.

Salient Features of Laboratory Filter Press:

• The filter press is designed to meet cleanliness and safety standards, with all parts that come into contact with the liquid made of a high-quality stainless steel called AISI 316 L
• It allows for complete filtration of a batch without any delays caused by reverse liquid flow
• The filter press contains the filtered liquid, cake, and solids, making it suitable for filtering toxic, dangerous, and explosive liquids
• There is no contamination of the inner surface of the filter press
• The top dome construction makes it easy to assemble and remove cartridges for cleaning the cake
• The filter press is equipped with castor wheels for easy mobility
• The reverse flow of liquid makes sure that there are no blockages in the filter press, resulting in efficient batch filtration
• It can be backwashed to enable continuous operations
• There is no need for additional steps or processes (scavenger hunt) to confirm effective filtration
• The filter press can handle toxic, dangerous, and explosive liquids as it contains the cake, filter aid, and solids
• The number of plates can be increased to handle higher levels of harmful substances or to meet specific filtering needs

Process Operation of Laboratory Filter Press

A Laboratory Filter Press, liquid is introduced into the filter under positive pressure. As the liquid moves downward, it passes through openings on the sides of the filter plates. The filter media within the press captures foreign particles, allowing only clear liquid, or filtrate, to move past and into the central channel. This central channel is formed by the interlocking pressure cups that connect to the outlet.

The filtration process continues until the filter's cake holding capacity is reached or the flow rate of the filtrate slows down significantly. This slowdown occurs due to the increasing resistance of the cake, which builds up as more particles are trapped. The process is stopped when the cake is saturated or the filtrate flow becomes too slow to be practical.
