A Filter Press Unit is a critical piece of equipment in oil mills and various industrial filtration processes, specifically engineered to separate liquids from solids. In the context of oil extraction, it is used to purify crude oil by forcing it through a series of filter cloths, effectively retaining solid impurities and allowing only the clean oil to pass through.
The unit typically consists of a series of plates and frames, or recessed plates, pressed together to form chambers where filtration occurs. Slurry (crude oil with suspended solids) is pumped into these chambers, and the liquid (oil) permeates the filter cloths, exiting through outlets, while the solid particles accumulate on the cloth surfaces, forming a filter cake. Our filter presses are designed for efficient cake discharge, often incorporating features like hydraulic closing systems and various plate materials to suit different operational requirements. They are crucial for improving oil clarity, extending shelf life, and preparing oil for further refining processes.
Modern filter press units from Baba Agro Export are built for high efficiency, durability, and operational safety. They are available in various capacities and configurations, including manual, semi-automatic, and fully automatic options, to match diverse production scales and automation needs. Their robust construction and precise engineering ensure consistent filtration performance, reducing product loss and enhancing the overall quality and marketability of the processed oil. This makes them an indispensable asset for any modern oil processing facility.
The main purpose is to remove suspended solids and impurities from crude oil, producing a clearer and purer oil suitable for further refining or consumption.
Baba Agro Export's Filter Press Units are versatile and can process crude oil from various seeds like mustard, groundnut, soybean, sunflower, and cottonseed.
By removing particulate matter, they enhance the oil's clarity, extend its shelf life, and improve its overall aesthetic and functional quality.
Yes, our units are designed with user-friendly interfaces and robust construction to ensure ease of operation and minimal maintenance requirements.
Our filter presses typically use durable materials such as high-grade mild steel for the frame and specialized polypropylene or cast iron for the filter plates, ensuring longevity.
