Filter Plates and Frames

Filterplatten- und Rahmensysteme von LENSER

Before the development of chamber filter elements, filter plate and frame systems were used as standard for solid-liquid separation. At the time, these were made of wood, but today they are made of plastic. LENSER manufactures them according to your requirements in many different formats and designs.

Filter plate and frame systems are still an inexpensive solution for simple filtration processes. They are a much sought-after solution for special processes and are used in the production of pharmaceuticals or for the filtration of blood plasma, as well as in the food industry.

We develop and manufacture the complete system, consisting of:

FP - Filter plate elements
FR - Filter frame elements
FX - Filter plate elements for a LENSER Mixed Pack

Advantages of filter plates and frames

Good washing results due to symmetrical cake chambers
Easy cloth exchange
Use of cost-effective filter media, such as one-way filter media
Variable cake thicknesses due to easy exchange of filter frames

Filtration process

A filtration process based on plate and frame systems is a classic pressure filtration. The individual chambers fill with the suspension, causing the filter cake to build up directly on the filter medium. Due to the ever increasing pressure in the chambers, the cake is dewatered – the resulting filtrate is collected separately.

Pressure filtration convinces with very good washing results and a well-formed and homogeneous filter cake.
