Leaf Filters

Mathesis Engineers Leaf Filters provide pressure filtration for efficient clarification and solid removal from liquids. Featuring a vertical or horizontal pressure vessel housing stainless steel filter leaves, these systems deliver high filtration area, closed operation, and automatic cake discharge for edible oil, chemical, and sugar processing.

Product Details

Pressure Leaf Filters consist of a series of vertical stainless steel mesh leaves mounted on a central discharge manifold inside a pressure vessel. Slurry mixed with filter aid (such as diatomaceous earth) is pumped into the vessel. Solid particles form a filter cake on the leaves while clear filtrate flows into the central manifold.

Cleaning is fast and automated via pneumatic vibrators or sluicing nozzles for dry or wet cake discharge without manual intervention.
