Filtration technology
Over 50 years' experience in solid-liquid separation
Mechanical solid-liquid separation generally takes place via pressure, vacuum or centrifugation. To separate the solid particles, filter media made of textile or metallic materials and of composite materials are used as the basis for the filter cake. Often there will also be a washing process to improve the purity of the filter cake or to increase the yield of the liquid phase. Solid-liquid separation can be carried out in continuous or batch operation.
In practice, a careful analysis must be undertaken for every application in order to determine the optimum process and technology. In the field of mechanical solid-liquid separation, this requires not only a comprehensive understanding of the theory, but also broad practical knowledge and wide-ranging experience of the various alternatives. Tests in the laboratory or on a pilot scale can also provide conclusive confirmation.
BHS has specialized in cake filtration for more than 50 years. We supply a broad range of products for both batch and continuous processes. BHS filters for separation of solids and liquids are used every day in different applications by over 1000 customers around the world. A common feature of all BHS filters is that they work with a comparatively thin cake.
BHS also offers filters for complex tasks that have to meet specific regulatory and validation requirements. GMP, CIP, ATEX and other requirements can naturally be fulfilled.
BHS offers its customers the opportunity to use a variety of test filters, as well as a modern technical center and chemistry laboratory in Sonthofen, Germany. This ensures that an optimal solution can be found to satisfy your needs.
