Horizontal plate filtration for fruit juices

Ensure optimal clarity in beverage production with a filtration unit that expertly manages precoating, continuous filtration, and efficient discharge processes, while maintaining the structural integrity of your filtering elements.

Filters and Clarifies Beverages and Syrups

The Greenfilter from Blendtech is a horizontal plate diatomaceous earth (D.E.) filter designed specifically for the food and beverage industry. What sets this equipment apart is its ability to perform efficient filtration and clarification by employing a precoating process and continuous D.E. addition, enhancing the quality and purity of beverages like fruit juices, nectars, soft drinks, and syrups.

The filter’s unique construction features stainless steel AISI 304 plates with AISI 316L filtering cloth, boasting a 65-micron mesh, eliminating the need for a drainage grid and reducing contamination risks. Its motorized plate rotation and centrifugal discharge allow for smooth operation and easy cake release from the filtration chamber.

Greenfilter is engineered for continuous, high-speed operations, seamlessly integrating into existing production lines for both liquid and slurry applications. The specialized inlet flow distributor prevents vortexes and ensures consistent flow rates, further optimizing process efficiency. Designed with easy cleaning and maintenance in mind, it supports swift transitions between different product batches.

With optional customization and engineering support, it suits diverse customer needs, from small-scale syrup producers to large-scale beverage manufacturers, ensuring each operation meets its unique processing demands.

Benefits

  • Enhances product purity with continuous filtration and clarification processes.
  • Minimizes contamination risks by eliminating traditional drainage grids.
  • Integrates efficiently into existing production lines, reducing installation downtime.
  • Simplifies cake discharge and maintenance with motorized plate rotation.
  • Accommodates various beverage formulations, ensuring adaptability across different production needs.
