​Liquid filtration/separation

Versis (Niagara) filters

Filtration Group's Versis filters are the further development of the traditional Niagara filters - pressure filters for cake filtration with a large filtration area. The filters have double sided, stainless filter leaves installed on which the filter cake is built up. The solid filter leaves have five layers of wire mesh consisting of three coarse support meshes and two fine filter meshes in stainless steel. 

​

The filters are supplied in either carbon steel or in a range of stainless materials.

​

Typical applications:

Animal fat, bleaching earth filtration, gelatine, glucose, nickel catalyst, pectin, process water, rapeseed oil, water glass etc. ​

Cricket filters

Ama/Filtration Group's Cricket filters are pressure filters with stainless filter elements, which look like cricket bats (hence the name), on which a filter cloth is mounted. The filter cloths are available in several materials which make the Cricket filter suitable for basically all types of liquid filtration applications.

​

Typical applications:

​Animal fat, gelatine, glucose, nickel catalyst, pectin, process water, water glass, vegetable oil etc.

​

​Program:

• ​Cricket®filters for dry filter cake (filtration area up to 100 m2)
  
• Cricket®filters for wet filter cake (filtration area up to 250 m2)
  
• Complete fully automatic filtration systems

Bag filters

Filtration Group's bag filters are most often used for verification filtration or for polishing of prefiltered liquids. As the filter bags can be delivered in many different dimensions and materials, they are suitable for various applications.  

​

The applications are numerous, e.g ink/varnish/paint, chemicals, process water and vegetable oils.

​

The bag filter housings are available in carbon steel, stainless steel or plastic.

​

The filter bags can be delivered in many different dimensions and materials. Nominal selectivity between 0.5 - 800 micron.

The bag filters (without filter bags) can also be an economical alternative to large basket strainers.

Hydrocyclones​

FLSmidth Krebs hydrocyclones are used in many industries for separation, concentration and dewatering of particles and liquid or liquid-liquid separation.

​

In principle hydrocyclones work with all non-emulsions, where there is a difference in density between the liquid and what needs to be removed. Hydrocyclones can be used as an independent separation unit or in front of other separation units such as centrifuges or filters, where the hydrocyclone thus reduces the size of the following equipment. 

​

The hydrocyclone can be constructed in many different materials such as different types of metal, ceramics and plastic depending on the process and the surroundings. 

​

Guideline for particle/liquid separation:

• Separation from approx. 5 µm
• ​Minimum flow approx. 150 l/h
• Natural separation in a beaker at max. 10 minutes

• No flocculation agent added

​

Guideline for liquid/liquid separation:

• Natural separation in a beaker at max. 5 minutes
  
• No chemical emulsion
