Kothari Pharma offers Zero Hold-up Filter Presses. The typical PRECIKOT filter press consists of a sturdy SS shell with a top cover held in place with tightening bolts; cartridge assembly consists of several plates of patented design; perforated screens and inter locking cups. The design ensures that the unfiltered liquid hold up is minimum, almost nil. The liquid to be filtered is passed to the central passage of the filter cartridge. From here it finds its way to the different filter plates on which suitable filter media is used. As the liquid progresses through the filter plates and the screens, the filter media arrests the suspensions and allows the filtrate to the shell of the main body of the filter media. In some cases, the process requires the recovery of the cake. The same can be collected from the top of the filter media. The added feature of this filter is, that it can be backwashed without dismantling the cartridge. In case the product is same, the filter-aid required after back washing is only marginal. Since the top dome is free from any piping connection, the removal of filter cartridge is very easy.
