Optimisation of the Versis® pressure leaf
filter system increased production capacity by 50% and reduced energy consumption ?
Skeby Gadar, a Swedish producer of cold-pressed rapeseed oil, sought to increase production capacity by 50% annually while overcoming several operational challenges. The company faced issues with the density and leveling of the cake layer, which disrupted drying and discharge processes. Additionally, their existing Versis® pressure filter’s automated program was inefficient, causing delays due to unnecessary process steps.
As Amafilter® have extensive experience in edible oil filtration solutions, a service engineer was sent to conduct a site inspection at Skeby Gadar, reviewing the entire filtration cycle. This inspection helped identify the necessary process adjustments to optimize the filtration system. To optimize the system, Amafilter® recommended increasing filtration time to produce a thicker cake layer and installing a new pump with a higher flow rate (from 20-30m³ and from 25-30m³). This increased flow rate, combined with crossflow, would prevent sedimentation of heavy particles, enhancing overall efficiency. Find out more…..
