Advanced Solid-Liquid Separation Solutions for Food & Beverage Industry

We supply high-efficiency filter presses and precision filtration systems built with polished SS304/SS316L and certified PP materials. Featuring smooth welds and full CIP/SIP compatibility, our equipment strictly meets global food safety standards. We customize filter media, vessel designs, and automation systems to match your specific liquid viscosity, temperature, and yield targets.

Our Core Equipment for Food & Beverage Processing

1. High-Performance Filter Press Series

Ideal for high solid loads, sludge dewatering, and primary clarification.

Chamber & Membrane Filter Presses: Engineered for high cake dryness and large-volume handling. Widely used in sugar syrup clarification, fermentation residue dewatering, and juice processing. Feature in-house manufactured food-grade PP filter plates with exceptional chemical and heat resistance.
Stainless Steel Clad Filter Presses: Feature heavy-duty structural frames covered with polished SS304 or SS316L cladding. This provides maximum structural strength for high-pressure operations while meeting strict sanitary and anti-corrosion standards.
Stainless Steel (Plate & Frame) Filter Presses: Built entirely from SS304/SS316L (including filter plates, frames, and piping). Ideal for high-purity, premium food process lines requiring sterile environments, excellent thermal conductivity, and zero risk of contamination.

2. Precision Filtration Series

Ideal for fine polishing, decolorization, carbon removal, and pre-sterilization.

Candle Filters: Fully enclosed, automated backwash operation for syrup fine filtration and beer polishing without contamination.
Pressure Leaf Filters (Vertical/Horizontal): High-efficiency separation for edible oil bleaching, soy sauce clarification, and active carbon recovery with low filter cloth wear.
Horizontal Plate Pressure Diatomaceous Earth Filter: Standard choice for DE precoat filtration in beer, wine, and fruit juice polishing.
Sheet Filters (Stainless Steel Plate & Frame Filters): Designed for high-clarity polishing and sterile filtration using depth filter sheets. Highly versatile for beer polishing, sugar syrup fine clarification, wine stabilization, and spirits polishing to maintain product taste and purity.
Bag & Cartridge Filters: Flexible protection and terminal polishing for process water, syrups, and pipeline systems.

Application-Specific Solutions

Sugar & Syrup Refining:
- Heavy Slurry / Dewatering Treatment: Chamber & Membrane Filter Presses — Used for sugarcane juice clarification, raw syrup residue separation, and high-dryness cake dewatering equipped with our in-house food-grade PP filter plates.
- Primary Clarification & Carbon/DE Separation: Candle Filters & Horizontal Disc DE Filters — Utilize diatomaceous earth (DE) or activated carbon precoat to efficiently capture suspended solids, haze, and color bodies in raw sugar juice or thick syrups under fully enclosed, automated conditions.
- Final Polishing & Fine Clarification: Sheet Filters (Stainless Steel Plate & Frame Filters) — Serve as the ultimate polishing stage prior to crystallization or final packaging, using depth filter sheets to deliver high-clarity, haze-free syrup without changing flavor or natural characteristics.

Edible Oil Refining:
- Bleaching Earth & Carbon Separation: Pressure Leaf Filters — Operate under closed, pressurized conditions to efficiently remove bleaching earth and activated carbon, preventing oil oxidation while offering easy cake discharge.
- Security Filtration & Polishing: Stainless Steel Bag & Cartridge Filters — Serve as terminal polishing filters before bottling, removing residual fine particles to ensure high clarity and long shelf life.
Beer, Wine & Beverage Processing:
- Yeast & Haze Removal: Horizontal Disc DE Filters & Candle Filters — Standard choice for diatomaceous earth precoat filtration, capturing yeast, proteins, and haze-forming particles without altering natural beverage flavor.
- Sterile Polishing & Stabilization: Sheet Filters (Stainless Steel Plate & Frame Filters) — Utilize depth filter sheets for fine clarification, stabilization, and sterile filtration prior to bottling.
Soy Sauce & Fermented Seasonings:
- Residue & Solid Separation: Pressure Leaf Filters & Chamber Filter Presses — Efficiently separate solid fermentation residues from high-viscosity liquids, improving clarity and liquid recovery with low manual labor.
Gelatin & Specialty Food Ingredients:
- Temperature-Controlled Clarification: Heated-Plate Filter Presses & Candle Filters — Maintain constant liquid temperatures to prevent gelatin gelling during filtration, delivering high-purity, turbidity-free solutions.
