SubscribeLarox will introduce its completely redesigned range of Hoesch Chamber and Membrane Filter Presses that will fully conform to the new Eurocode 3, at the ACHEMA 2006 trade show in Frankfurt, Germany from May 15 – 19, 2006.
This new range of Hoesch filter presses will be offered in both side bar and overhead beam configurations. Initial sizes will include 1200 x 1200 and 1500 x 1500 plates with larger sizes to follow. Design pressures will be 10, 16 and 30 Bar.
The Hoesch membrane filter press was the first functional membrane press delivered to the marketplace almost 50 years ago. The new designs, which will meet the recently introduced Eurocode 3 specifications, continue the long Hoesch tradition of being at the forefront of technical innovation with regard to membrane technology.
The 1200 x 1200 Hoesch filter presses will be available with plate packs up to 12000 mm long providing filtration areas ranging from 41 - 374 m2. For the 1500 x 1500 filter presses the plate pack will be up to 14000 mm long with filtration areas ranging from 122 - 659 m2. Plates will be available with 25, 40, 50 and 60 mm chamber depths in both plate sizes and all configurations.
The new designs will continue to include all those features that have made the Hoesch plate design the leader in the market. These features include center feed ports with distribution ring for even chamber filling and cake distribution and the use of replaceable rubber membranes, which are safer than welded membranes and more reliable.
Optional features will include automatic plate shifting, assisted cake discharge and automatic cloth washing, light curtains, swivel plates (bomb-doors) and explosion proof operation, sanitary designs, food-grade designs and corrosion resistant designs.
