Plate filter FP-32 for cleaning vegetable oils

Description Plate filter FP-32 for cleaning vegetable oils

The FP-32 filter is a state-of-the-art device designed for precise and efficient filtration of vegetable oils such as sunflower, soybean, corn, mustard, flaxseed, and others. It is ideal for use in both preliminary mechanical filtration and oil bleaching processes, effectively removing sediments, suspensions, waxes, pigments, and trace amounts of heavy metals. The FP-32 filter features the innovative NOVAX 25 Oil pump, ensuring reliability and precision in pumping edible oils. This high-performance electric pump, equipped with a star-shaped rotor, enables smooth and efficient oil transfer. Its hydraulic components are made from bronze coated with stainless steel, offering exceptional durability, chemical resistance, and food safety.

An integrated manometer, located before the filtration unit, provides continuous pressure monitoring. This allows the operator to control the filtration process and quickly determine when the filtering elements require cleaning or replacement, optimizing overall efficiency. The FP-32 filter ensures the highest quality standards in the oil processing industry.

Operation Process

• Oil Supply: Vegetable oil is fed into the filter using the NOVAX 25 Oil pump, which ensures a stable flow and precise transfer of raw material.

• Mechanical Filtration: The oil passes through a porous filtration layer made of “belting” fabric, mounted on the filter frames. Mechanical impurities, such as suspensions and fine sediments, are effectively retained on the surface of the filtering material.

• Device Construction: The FP-32 filter comprises a set of 32 perforated plates and frames, which are fitted with replaceable cloths made of polypropylene food-grade fabric. The plates have flow channels that evenly distribute oil across the filtration surface, ensuring thorough cleaning. The filtered oil is discharged through an outlet channel into a container for the purified product.

• Compression and Stability: All filter elements are securely tightened using a manual screw clamp, preventing leaks and ensuring maximum filtration efficiency.

• Filtered Oil Collection: The purified oil is collected in specialized containers. The device is compatible with food-grade barrels with a capacity starting from 1 ton or custom tanks tailored to customer needs.

Efficiency and Advantages

• High Productivity: The design, featuring 32 plates with a filtration surface of 400 × 400 mm, ensures efficient cleaning of large oil volumes in a short time.

• Purity and Quality: The removal of even the smallest mechanical particles and pigments guarantees the highest quality of the final product.

• Durability and Hygiene: Made of food-grade polypropylene materials, the filter meets hygiene requirements and is resistant to oil exposure and intensive use.

• Flexibility: Adjustable tank capacities and compatibility with various types of vegetable oils.

• Easy Operation: The manual clamping system and intuitive construction simplify maintenance and replacement of filter elements.
