EA Series Filter Presses

We observed, asked, and listened to hundreds of Recessed Chamber Filter Press owners and operators and incorporated their ideas and suggestions into our Recessed Chamber Filter Presses, the Industry leading EA-Series, which include fast acting hydraulic systems, uniform fill manifolds, safety lanyards, reverse core blow capability, chemically resistant painted surfaces, and four corner chamber discharge porting to reduce cycle time.

Our  presses provide a simple reliable method to dewater solids into cakes of 25-60% total concentration. This provides clearer filtrate solutions than systems removing only free water.

The EA-Series line is available in different sizes for solids handling ranging from press capacities of 1 ft3 all the way to 300 ft3 . 32mm caulk and gasketed polypropylene plates are standard on all models making these heavy-duty presses well suited for applications which require leak-free processing.

ErtelAlsop engineers will work with you to design and manufacture the optimum piece of equipment, and/or complete system, for any application with specific focus on quality, productivity improvement, cycle optimization, cost reduction, and safety.

Our  Recessed Chamber Filter Presses are among the most efficient means of liquid solid separation through pressure filtration, either for solution filtration or sludge volume reduction. A filter press provides a simple reliable method of high compaction pressure to compress and dewater solids into filter cakes of 25-60% total concentration. This provides clearer filtrate solutions than other filter press systems that only remove free water.

Thirty-two (32mm) millimeter gasketed polypropylene filter plates are standard on all models, making these heavy-duty filter presses well suited for applications, which require leak-free processing. Other standard features include a chemically resistant painted steel skeleton, 304 stainless steel bar wear strips, schedule 80 PVC head connections, four corner discharge, hydraulic closure system, and a full 6 year framework warranty.

ErtelAlsop engineers will work with you to design and manufacture the optimum piece of equipment, and/or complete system, for any application with specific focus on quality, productivity improvement, cycle optimization, cost reduction, and safety.

*As with all ErtelAlsop presses, filter cloth is available for any application and/or operating condition, and is chosen based on your specific operating conditions, the performance required by the filtering cloth, and criteria given to us by you and/or by sample processing we do in our lab. ErtelAlsop offers the widest varieties of filter cloth and construction techniques to provide good particle retention, clear filtrate, high flow rates, and dry filter cakes.

Where is a filter press utilized?

DEWAXING
ErtelAlsop Dewaxing Filter Press offers an efficient option for lipids removal and polishing dissolved Oleoresin. All liquid contact components are FDA Compliant and are capable of filtering solvents at -40°F. Filter press operation requires very little operator intervention during processing and offers quick and easy cake removal between cycles. Pressure filtration offers fast filtration and efficient solid-liquid separation for maximum product recovery.
BIOMASS FILTRATION
The ErtelAlsop Biomass Filter Press System is used for filtration of biomass batches up to 500 Lb. It provides a closed-loop solution for maximum solvent recovery and efficient biomass separation.  Membrane squeeze units are also available for added mechanical compression of biomass averaging 5% additional solvent recovery.
MASH FILTRATION

A mash filter is a filter used in place of a traditional lauter tun to separate sweet wort from grain solids.

The mash is pumped into the plates of the press, quickly separating the wort from the grain, allowing the wort to move on to the next step in the brewing process within minutes.  Sparge water is pumped through the plates containing the collected grains.  The filter plates are then separated, and the dry cake is easily removed into a cart for disposal.  The whole process is fast and efficient compared to using a lauter tun which takes considerably longer.

The ErtelAlsop Mash Filter provides a large surface area, high pressure filtration system for efficient solids dewatering and liquird recovery.  ErtelAlsop Mash Filters are easy to operate, have few moving parts, and utilize re-usable cloth filter media.  Mash filters require minimal utility requirements and very little maintenance.

Breweries for Processing Wort
  • Replaces Need for Lauter Tun
  • Provides Optimal Delivery System for Sparging Process
  • Faster Process = Increased Production!
  • Flexibility in Grain Types – raw, un-malted grains for creative, complex flavors
  • Conserves Water and Energy – Our Customers Use up to 40% less water and 20%-30% less grain
Distilleries for Processing Still Mash
  • Replaces Need for Mash Tun
  • Provides Optimal Liquid Recovery and Grain Dewatering
  • Distillers Use  30% Less Raw Water by Recycling Effluent for Sour Mash Batches
  • Recycled Effluent Yields Deeper, Richer Flavors
  • Dewatered Grains Disposal Less Costly (less water weight), Compost Better, and Have Longer Shelf Life for Stock Feed
  • Reduced Waste Costs (Hauling Water is Expensive)
  • Recycled Filtrate into the Plant Reduces the Volume of Raw Water Required
  • Drier Grains Last Longer
  • Longer Shelf Life Allows for Further Travel Distance for Stock Feed
  • Environmentally Friendly – Cleaner Waste, Less Water Consumption
