The Vertipress Pressure Filter
In many operations, outdated filtration equipment causes lost production time, high maintenance costs, and inconsistent product quality. A dewatering pressure filter from Filtra Systems delivers a smarter solution, engineered to simplify your process, increase productivity, and reduce operating costs. Using advanced automation, the Vertipress pressure filter produces extremely dry cakes (up to 94% solids) while ensuring over 99% wash efficiency, transforming your process into a faster, cleaner, and more sustainable operation.
Precision-Engineered Filtration System for Reliable Performance
The Vertipress pressure filter is designed for industries that rely on precise, high-performance filtration. Each filter chamber operates independently, providing flexibility for maintenance without interrupting production, a key advantage for facilities that require continuous operation.
Key Performance Advantages:
- Exceptional Dewatering – Achieve up to 94% solids with diaphragm squeeze technology for optimized recovery.
- Superior Product Purity – Horizontal cake formation and displacement washing minimize water use and maximize purity.
- Full Automation – Integrated HMI touchscreen allows precise control and consistent output with minimal supervision.
- Single-Point Cake Discharge – All cakes discharge simultaneously, eliminating complex conveyors and lowering system costs.
- Reduced Filtrate Solids – Dual-seal chamber design keeps solids below 0.1%, improving downstream process stability.
Flexible and Scalable for Multiple Industries
Filtra Systems offers a wide range of dewatering pressure filter configurations — from 10 ft² to 1,000 ft² — adaptable to your capacity and process requirements. Modular vertical stacking supports future expansion without major infrastructure changes.
The Vertipress pressure filter excels in:
- Chemical & Mining – Conducts filtration, pH adjustment, and cake washing in one automated cycle. Produces concentrates up to 90% solids for improved yield and transport efficiency.
- Industrial Water Treatment – Removes solids from process water to reduce waste and environmental discharge.
- General Manufacturing – Provides reliable process filtration for precise product consistency.
Built for Safety, Longevity, and Efficiency
Every Vertipress pressure filter is built with a durable frame, minimal moving parts, and corrosion-resistant materials. The enclosed chamber design minimizes exposure to process fluids, protecting both operators and equipment. The reduced number of moving components results in less wear, fewer downtime incidents, and lower lifetime maintenance costs.
By combining automation with a robust mechanical design, this dewatering system delivers continuous, low-maintenance performance, even in aggressive process environments.
