Multiplate filter

Multiplate filter: a filtration device designed for the pharmaceutical and chemical industries

Our Multi-Plate Filters are the most innovative on the market. We have implemented several simple technical solutions ensuring better performance, better cleaning, more reliable operation and better ergonomics.

EfCI multiplate filter: presentation of our solutions

Our Multi-Plate Filters feature robust and reliable design with high quality standards for FDA approved productions. This makes it essential equipment for the fine chemicals and pharmaceutical industry. Its implementation is simple, and the removal of the cake is simplified for the operator.

We offer a range of products ranging from the very classic Multi-Plate Filter to the most innovative model, the auto-scraped filter, automated semi-continuously. As usual, these machines can withstand pressure, heat, solvents, and this, with the same quality as other EfCI products.

Caractéristiques techniques

Multi-Plate Filter

EfCI Multi-Plate Filters are the most economical filtration equipment in terms of price and maintenance. The main parts that make it up are:

A cylindrical container with a welded or hinged lid;
A flat bottom with draining, feeding, and clamping device;
A series of filter plates with filter media ;
A manually, hydraulically or electrically operated connecting rod in the center;
An optional support structure with circulation pump and hydraulic unit.

The feed enters the filter plate series either through the central guide rod (central feed) or through the tank (external feed).

Each tray has a filtering surface (single or double sided) which allows the separation of the filtrate from the cake in a pressurized and thermoregulated atmosphere. At the end of the filtration cycle, the removable bell as well as the whole filtering block are removed thanks to a hoist and then placed on the ground in order to proceed to the debatizing and the cleaning.

During filtration, the rotation of the plate block is stopped. When the cake is formed, washed and/or dried, the liquid is drained off and the trays are gradually rotated until a speed is reached where the centrifugal force propels the cake against the walls of the tank. The cake then falls to the bottom and is discharged to an outlet valve.

Multi-Plate Filter with centrifugal separation

The Multi-Plate Centrifugal Stripper differs from other models by the presence of a motor and a gearbox on the central hollow shaft.

During filtration, the rotation of the plate block is stopped. When the cake is formed, washed and/or dried, the liquid is drained off and the trays are gradually rotated until a speed is reached where the centrifugal force propels the cake against the walls of the tank. The cake then falls to the bottom and is discharged to an outlet valve.

Multi-Plate Scraping Filter

The Multi-Plate Scraping Filter is particularly recommended for very hard and/or sticky cakes, as well as for very safe applications.

After filtration, the filter plates rotate. A specially designed scraping device (manually or pneumatically operated) is placed between the plates and gradually loosens the cake, forcing it to fall to the bottom and into the outlet valve.

The main advantage of this system is that it is not necessary to open the filter to discharge the cake, thus avoiding any contact with the ambient air.
