Smart Filter Press

The next generation of filter presses. Flowrox Smart Filter Press™ (SFP) is a sophisticated little giant reaching up to 10 times higher capacity compared to conventional recessed filter presses of the same size. Flowrox Smart Filter Press has various new and innovative features including fully automatic cake discharge and trouble-free operation without operator involvement. Unique design with smart self-monitoring system makes the SFP filter the safest and the least labour demanding filter press at the market.

Clean and safe

Filtration with gasketed filter plates behind enclosed and interlocked doors:

• No slurry sprays.
• No human contact with filter cakes or fumes.
• No operator involvement near moving parts.

Self-diagnostic in each filtration cycle:

• Online examination of the equipment pressurization during all the stages.
• Leak-testing before each filtration cycle ensures cleanliness of the filter in traditionally dirty applications.

Low maintenance and low environmental impact

• Gentle and optimised process cycle minimises consumption of utilities as well as amount of required wear & spare parts.
• Advanced washing system provides extra mileage for filter clothes.
• Automated failure analyses support preventative maintenance.
• Advanced diagnostics and remote support enhance troubleshooting.
