Vertical Pressure Leaf Filter Systems
Vertical pressure leaf filter systems
Amafilter® vertical pressure leaf filter systems are engineered to deliver exceptional filtration performance across a wide range of industrial applications. Their unique design allows for a large filtration surface area, thanks to the optimized shape of the filter leaf elements, ensuring high flow rates and efficient solid-liquid separation.
These systems consistently achieve high filtrate clarity, especially after the clarification cycle, making them ideal for use in processes where product purity is critical. Additionally, a variety of filter aids — such as diatomaceous earth, perlite, or cellulose — can be integrated to enhance filtration efficiency and further improve the quality of the filtrate.
BENEFITS
• Proven technology.
• Fully automated, ensures safety.
• Small footprint required, maximized space.
• Easy access to the filter leaves for removal of the cake
• Full automation means limited maintenance and lower operational costs.
• A closed filtration system for complete safety when in use.
• Short regeneration time between filtration cycles, reducing operating costs as the filter can filtrate for longer periods without disruptions.
• Easy to clean pressure filter leaves.
• No rotating parts, keeping maintenance to minimum.
• Reinforced pressure filter leaves provide extended lifetime.
• Specifically designed self sealing cover gaskets for a perfect sealing solution and maximum safety.
Vertical pressure filter leaf system for dry and wet cake discharge
Vertical Pressure Leaf Filter Systems with Dry Cake Discharge – Efficient Solid Recovery and Product Purity
Amafilter® vertical pressure leaf filter systems with dry cake discharge are ideal for applications that require efficient solid-liquid separation and minimal product loss. Common uses include the filtration of sugar, cocoa butter, and edible oils, as well as processes like activated carbon removal, molten sulphur filtration, and catalyst recovery in chemical industries.
These systems are engineered to maximize yield and reduce residual product content in the filter cake—in some cases, by up to 20%, depending on the application. When the filter cake is the desired end product, high-purity cake production can be achieved through filter cake washing, ensuring optimal quality for downstream processes.
For efficient discharge, the dried filter cake is released via a pneumatic vibrator and butterfly valve located at the bottom of the vessel. This design ensures fast and clean discharge, reducing downtime and improving operational efficiency.
The drying phase is typically performed using compressed air, inert gas, or steam, depending on the specific process and product requirements.

Pressure filter leaf
elements
Our product range of pressure leaf filter systems include an extensive range of filter leaves designs suitable for many different applications.
Cyclones
Cyclones can be used to separate the gas/liquid mixture which occurs in filtration systems by drying the captured solids (filter cake) before discharge.
The cyclone is to be positioned in direct proximity of the liquid return tank.
