Pressure Leaf Filter

Pressure Leaf Filter Function and Working Method

The Pressure Leaf Filter operates through a straightforward workflow: Feed → Filter → Discharge. The feed material, containing a mixture of solids and liquids, is pumped into the filter tank. Inside the tank, the mixture passes through filter blades, which capture the solid particles while allowing the liquid to pass through. The filtered liquid is collected and discharged, while the solid residues (slag) are removed through vibration or centrifugation. This method ensures efficient separation of solids and liquids, producing clarified liquid and concentrated solid waste.

Pressure Leaf Filter Material and Construction

The Pressure Leaf Filter is constructed from either carbon steel or stainless steel 304, depending on the specific application and material compatibility requirements. Carbon steel provides robustness and durability for general-purpose applications, while stainless steel 304 is used in scenarios where corrosion resistance and hygiene are critical, such as in the final stages of oil refining.
