The refining process of vegetable oils is very complicated and can be executed only by making use of very sophisticated tools and equipment. A pressure leaf filter is one such important component of an oil refinery that plays a very important role in effective and efficient vegetable oil filtration. There are two types of pressure leaf filters – vertical and horizontal. Both find applications in an oil refining setup as per the requirements of the filtration process.
The mechanism of a pressure leaf filter
In a pressure leaf filter made and supplied by the top oil refinery equipment and acid oil plant manufacturer in India, the blends of different raw materials are pumped into a container applying high pressure. The container used is often equipped with vertical or horizontal leaves that serve the purpose of the filtration. Each leaf comes with the centrally mounted neck at the bottom and gathers the filtrate. The leaf also has coverings of coarse mesh screens that extend support to the fine woven filter cloth to retain the cake.
Material of Construction
