The horizontal pressure leaf filter is an enclosed filtration system and can be fully automated. This filter produces a high filtrate clarity after the clarification run and is also suitable for all kinds of filter aids. The regeneration time between the filtration cycles is short. Horizontal pressure leaf filters can also be delivered as tandem units to save floor space. The pressure leaf filter itself has no rotating parts, keeping maintenance to a minimum. These advantages result in an economical filtration solution.

Each leaf is made of 5-ply of SS wire mesh of different gauge wires. Two outer filtering mesh and three inners are only for support. Different outer filtering mesh is used for different filtration process. The 5-ply wire mesh are held together by a tubular frame and made leak proof by machine riveting. The quality of filtration and life of filter depends mainly on the quality of outer wire mesh and revetting
