The Horizontal Pressure Leaf Filter is a high-capacity industrial filtration system designed for efficient clarification of liquids containing fine suspended solids. It features horizontally arranged filter leaves inside a sealed pressure vessel, enabling large filtration area, stable operation, and high solid-holding capacity.

This equipment is widely used in edible oil processing, chemical production, petrochemical refining, and wastewater treatment where continuous, efficient, and low-loss filtration is required.

What Is a Horizontal Pressure Leaf Filter?

A horizontal pressure leaf filter consists of a cylindrical horizontal pressure tank equipped with multiple horizontal filter leaves. Each leaf is covered with filter mesh or cloth that captures solid particles while allowing clear liquid to pass through.

During operation:

• Slurry enters the closed vessel under pressure

• Liquid passes through filter leaves

• Solid particles form a filter cake on the leaf surface

• Clean filtrate is collected through an internal piping system

After filtration, the cake is removed via vibration, backwashing, or pneumatic discharge.

Key Features of Horizontal Pressure Leaf Filter

• Large filtration area with compact horizontal design

• High-efficiency solid–liquid separation

• Fully enclosed system for safe operation

• Minimal product loss during filtration

• Easy cake discharge and cleaning process

• Suitable for high-capacity industrial applications

• Strong pressure and corrosion resistance

Working Principle

The horizontal pressure leaf filter operates using pressure-driven depth filtration:

1. Slurry is pumped into the sealed horizontal vessel

2. Pressure forces liquid through filter leaf surfaces

3. Solids accumulate as a filter cake

4. Clear filtrate is collected through internal channels

5. Cake is discharged using vibration or air-assisted systems

This process ensures high clarity output and efficient solid retention.

Horizontal vs Vertical Pressure Leaf Filter

• Horizontal type: Larger capacity, better for high-volume production, easier cake discharge

• Vertical type: Compact footprint, better for space-limited installations
