We offer a wide range of rental laboratory filters and pilot filters for on-site testing. In this way, you can confirm and expand on findings from preliminary tests on a semi-industrial scale. We supply state-of-the-art laboratory and pilot filters or pilot filtration plants for all BHS filter systems. Each of these testing machines is configured for a specific application and designed for rental applications close to the production line. Our qualified service technicians will provide on-site training and support. The results of these tests ensure that the planned scale-up production unit is properly designed.

We not only provide laboratory or pilot filter systems for testing purposes, we also sell these units both new and used for low-volume production scenarios or use at your own testing facility.

A Review of Filter Press Basics Versus Alternative Batch or Continuous Technologies

The range of liquid/solid separation equipment is very large and without an intimate knowledge it can be confusing and even illogical, the main reason being that there are only two basic principles of liquid/solid separation. This means that equipment which an independent expert would not necessarily chose first can still be made to work, albeit with poor efficiency. This implies that you should be extra careful with suppliers who offer only one type of equipment, as it may well be that although it can be made to work, it may not be the best choice!
