Versatile Material CompatibilityEngineered for chemical resistance, these filter press pumps are available in Polypropylene (PP), PVDF, and stainless steel (SS 316). This ensures high durability and compatibility with aggressive acids, alkalis, effluents, and slurries. The material options provide flexibility for different industrial applications, from chemical processing to effluent management.
Efficient Industrial Process HandlingThanks to centrifugal pumping theory and impeller options (closed/semi-open), these pumps efficiently manage solids-laden liquids. High flow rates (up to 60 m/hr) and head capacities (up to 50 meters) make them ideal for challenging filter press requirements. Their robust design guarantees low noise output (< 75 dB) and reliable operation in intense industrial environments.
Safety, Standards, and ControlBuilt to IP55 protection class and conforming to ISO 5199 standards, these pumps promote operational safety and reliability. Flexible control optionsmanual or automatedallow integration with modern process systems. The pumps feature mechanical seals or gland packing, supporting varied operating conditions and ensuring process integrity even at discharge pressures up to 5 kg/cm.
FAQs of Filter Press Pumps:
Q: How do I select the right filter press pump for handling corrosive liquids or slurries?
A: Determine the chemical nature and solid content of your liquid. Choose the suitable construction material (PP, PVDF, or SS 316) for corrosion resistance and select the impeller type based on solids size (412 mm). Also, ensure the shaft material matches your operating environment. Consult with a supplier or manufacturer to finalize the best fit for your process.
Q: What benefits can I expect with a closed versus semi-open impeller in these pumps?
A: Closed impellers provide higher efficiency with clean fluids and moderately-sized solids, ensuring minimal leakage. Semi-open impellers, meanwhile, offer better passage for larger solid particles and are ideal for slurries or effluent with suspended solids. Both options handle up to 12 mm solids, depending on your filtration and process needs.
Q: When should I choose gland packing over a mechanical seal for the pump shaft?
A: Gland packing is preferred in applications where minor leakage is acceptable, or where the pumped fluid has high solids content, as its easier to maintain and more economical. Mechanical seals are best for hazardous chemicals and where leakage must be minimized, improving safety and reducing maintenance in continuous operations.
Q: Where are these filter press pumps commonly used in industrial applications in India?
A: They are widely utilized in filter press feeding, chemical industry fluid transfer, effluent treatment plants, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and water treatment facilities throughout India. Their material versatility and robust construction make them suitable for dealers, distributors, manufacturers, and end-users handling challenging process fluids.
Q: How is the installation and commissioning process carried out for these pumps?
A: Installation is typically base plate mounted and involves connecting threaded or flanged inlets/outlets (BSP or flanged 14 inches). The pumps can be set for flooded or negative suction as needed. Commissioning includes aligning the motor (three phase, TEFC/air cooled), checking sealing type, calibrating the control system, and verifying performance under load.
Q: What is the maximum capacity and pressure these filter press pumps can achieve?
A: They can provide flow rates up to 60 m/hr with discharge heads up to 50 meters, handling pressures up to 5 kg/cm. This makes them suitable for filter presses, chemical process lines, and effluent transfer where consistent, high-pressure feeding is required.
Q: What advantages do these pumps offer in terms of safety and regulatory compliance?
A: Conforming to ISO 5199 and rated to IP55 protection, these pumps ensure safe operation in tough industrial environments. Low noise levels (<75 dB) improve workplace health, and flexible sealing, material, and control options help facilities meet stringent local and international standards for industrial pumping equipment.
