By removing solids from the liquid, the Zero Hold Up Filter Press filters liquids. Our filter press machine complies with cGMP and FDA regulations and is outfitted with a gear pump, centrifugal pump, or lobe pump depending on the needs of the particular procedure. The filtration assembly’s contemporary design aims to maximize process output. The arrangement of spacers, filter pads, filter plates, and perforated screens allows for hassle-free productivity.
In the pharmaceutical business, the Zero Hold Up Filter Press is mostly used for syrup and suspension filtration. Additionally, a wide range of other businesses, including distilleries, culinary ingredients, organic chemicals, resin, ink, oil, and many more, use syrup filter presses. The arrangement of the filter pad and disc is such that the solid cake is separated from the liquid flow. The top dome shape makes it simple to remove the cartridge assembly for pad cleaning and cake removal. Various pads can be used based on the needs of various product categories. It is called a Zero Hold Up Filter Press because of its continuous process and zero holding material within the chamber.
High-value items can be filtered perfectly using a syrup filter press. Notably, the equipment satisfies FDA and cGMP regulations set forth in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and related businesses. These filter press machines are widely used in the beverage sector to filter aerated beverages, in addition to syrup, suspension, and oral liquid. Equipment has shown to be crucial to the food business in terms of accurately filtering drinks made with pulp. The cake filter aid and solids offered with the press make it easy to filter toxic, hazardous, and explosive liquids. There is no hold-up in the chamber because of the reverse flow of the liquid, ensuring total load filtration. It provides uniform cake distribution on every plate with one pass clarity. Because of how straightforward the design is, drying the cake only requires basic nitrogen and air purging.

Process Operation of Zero Hold Up Filter Machine
The liquid is fed into the filter of the machine and it is done under positive pressure. Now, the liquid travels downwards and passes through the opening on the sides of filter plates. The filter media holds back foreign particles and enables only clear filtrate to go past the central channel. This central channel is made by interlocking pressure cups to the outlet. The filtration process continues until the cake holding capacity gets saturated or the filtrate rate gets way slower than it must be. This happens due to decreasing cake resistance.
