Frame-Plate Filter FP-16 for Purification of Vegetable Oils

Description Frame-Plate Filter FP-16 for Purification of Vegetable Oils

The FP-16 frame-plate filter is an advanced system designed for the efficient filtration of vegetable oils such as sunflower, soybean, corn, mustard, flaxseed, and more. It is ideal for both primary mechanical filtration and oil bleaching, effectively removing sediments, suspended solids, waxes, pigments, and trace amounts of heavy metals. Built with precision and durability, the FP-16 meets the highest quality standards for oil processing industries.

Operation Process

• Oil Intake: The vegetable oil is delivered to the filter via the NOVAX 25 Oil pump, ensuring consistent and precise flow into the filtration system.

• Mechanical Filtration: The oil passes through a porous filtration layer made of special fabric (“belting”), mounted on filter frames. Mechanical impurities such as sediments and suspended particles are trapped on the surface of the fabric.

• Filter Construction: The system consists of perforated plates and frames covered with replaceable polypropylene filter cloths. The plates have through-channels for uniform oil distribution, enabling effective filtration across the entire surface. The filtered oil is collected through a discharge channel and directed into a storage container for purified oil.

• Compression and Stability: All components – frames, plates, and filter cloths – are securely compressed using a manual screw clamp, ensuring a tight seal to prevent leaks and enhance filtration efficiency.

• Filtered Oil Collection: The purified oil is collected in specially designed containers. The system is compatible with standard food-grade barrels with a minimum capacity of 1 ton, or custom-sized tanks as per client requirements.

Efficiency and Advantages

• High Performance: Equipped with 16 filter plates measuring 400 × 400 mm, the FP-16 ensures efficient purification of large oil volumes in a short time.

• Enhanced Purity: The removal of even the finest mechanical particles and pigments guarantees top-quality output.

• Durable and Hygienic: Made from food-grade polypropylene, the filter is resistant to oil exposure and meets strict hygiene standards.

• Customizable: Compatible with a variety of vegetable oils and adaptable to different tank capacities.

• User-Friendly Design: The manual clamping system and straightforward assembly simplify maintenance and filter cloth replacement.
