Horizontal element kieselgur filters

Enhance your production with a filtration system that ensures effective separation of impurities in liquid and slurry products, optimizing purity levels for a wide range of end-products from beverages to pharmaceuticals. Perfect for operations demanding high-speed, continuous processing with minimal downtime.

The KFA Horizontal Element Kieselgur Filters by INOXPA are tailored for the rigorous demands of the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical sectors. Utilizing a horizontal screen design, these filters maintain operational integrity even during extended power outages, preventing cake fall. This system is crucial for high-purity filtering, adept in handling liquids, slurries, and cakes across a range of end products including beer, wine, dairy, and cosmetic items. With a filtering surface ranging from 10 to 30 m² and constructed entirely from corrosion-resistant AISI 304 stainless steel, it ensures durability and hygiene compliance. The filters feature a variable flow dosing pump and lighted inlet and outlet sight glasses for enhanced process visibility. A centrifugal cake discharge system and CIP sprayers facilitate efficient cleaning and maintenance, reducing downtime. Offering seamless integration into existing production lines, these filters operate efficiently under both continuous and manual workflows, delivering consistent and reliable performance.
