Principle & Application
CAKE FILTRATION
Cake filtration is a filtration method in which the selectivity is very high. Either the own residue or a carefully chosen filter aid ensures high separating power and determines the very high filtrate quality.
Because the cake is discharged dry, the loss of (valuable) filtrate is very small.
At the same time, solids disposal costs are kept to a minimum.
Application
Pronfil International works closely with MEFIAG BV in Heerenveen www.mefiag.com, an OEM of filters and pumps and subsidiary of the American CECO Environmental, a specialist in the field of filtration.
The application of the Pronfil filter systems is mainly aimed at the frying industry. Very high selectivity is also achieved in the water and chemical industry.
The filter systems can normally handle an average flow rate ranging from a few liters to approximately 30.0 m³/hour, depending on the fluid properties.
A "tailor-made" solution is offered in the form of a pre-programmed, autonomously operating system. The system can be operated very intuitively and does not require any specialist knowledge. Neither of the equipment and controls, nor of filtration technology in general.
The PLC of the self-cleaning Backpulse Filter can be linked as a 'slave' via a Profibus to, for example, a Siemens control system, with all the advantages that entails.

Videos:
The videos shown below show two processes from practice:
1. Food industry production filter
Approximately 30 kg of dry matter is unloaded per hour.
2. Unfiltered hot frying oil
Hot oil flow during pumping of frying oil: Optically black oil, outside specification, normal rejection
3. Treated hot frying oil
Hot frying oil actively decolorized: Optically clear and colorless, brought within specifications

Practical results
Using a Profibus connection, connection with industrial Siemens software, among other things, is an option, with all the advantages that entails.
