Horizontal Filter

Horizontal Pressure Leaf Filters are used in lieu of Vertical Filters, when the filter cake is sticky and difficult to clean automatically:
A Horizontal Pressure Leaf Filter consists of a horizontal pressure tank with filter leaves mounted on a central outlet manifold
A hydraulic jack is provided to open and retract the horizontal shell cover and or pull out the leaf assembly, thereby enabling easy access and manual cleaning of the filter leaves
Fastening of the horizontal shell cover can be designed with a manual eye-bolt and nut arrangement or with an automatic quick acting Wedge Lock device
Horizontal Pressure Leaf Filters can be designed with higher filtration areas as compared to Vertical Pressure Leaf Filters
Horizontal Pressure Leaf Filters are especially used for de-waxing of vegetable oils, and similar processes
