Zero Hold Up Filter Press

Zero Hold Up Filter Press uses for filtration of liquid by separating solid from the liquid. Adhering cGMP and FDA compliance, out filter press machine equipped with gear pump, centrifugal pump or lobe pump as specific process requirements. Filtration assembly has modern design to achieve optimum process output. Perforated screens, filter plates, spacers and filter pad organized in such a way to obtain hassle free productivity.

The Zero Hold Up Filter Press mostly uses for syrup and suspension filtration in pharmaceutical industry. Syrup Filter Press also find usage in other wide range of industries such as distillery, food ingredients, organic chemicals, resin, ink, oil and many more. Filter pad and disc organized in a manner which separates solid cake from the flow of liquid. Dome structure at top enables easily removing of cartridge assembly for cleaning of pad and cake removal. Variety of pad can be use depending upon different product types requirements. Features of continuous process and zero holding material within chamber named it Zero Hold Up Filter Press.

Syrup Filter Press uses to achieve absolute filtration results of high value products. Notably equipments meets cGMP and FDA requirements laid down in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and allied industries. Apart from Syrup, Suspension & Oral Liquid these Filter Press Machine having wide usage in beverage industry for filtration of aerated beverages. Equipment proved its importance in food industry for filtration of pulp based drinks with utmost accuracy. Toxic, dangerous, and explosive liquids can readily be filtered thanks to the press’s included cake filter aid and solids. Due to reverse flow of liquid there is zero hold up in chamber which ensure complete filtration of load. It offers one pass clarity, homogeneous cake distribution across all plates. Design is so simple that drying of the cake can be performed with simple air and nitrogen purging.

Filtration is a critical step in pharmaceutical, chemical, and food industries – it requires precision and hygiene to separate solids from liquids. Adinath’s Zero Hold Up Filter Press is designed to deliver maximum filtration efficiency while preventing material loss. The zero hold-up design eliminates residual liquid accumulation, allowing complete filtration without wastage.

Built with stainless steel (SS 304 or SS 316), the machine resists corrosion and supports easy cleaning and maintenance. It complies with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), which means it adheres to strict hygiene and quality control measures. GMP compliance prevents contamination and supports uniform batch processing, making it ideal for pharmaceutical and food-grade filtration.

The compact design of Zero Hold Up Filter Press  takes up minimal floor space while providing high throughput filtration. A polished internal surface prevents material buildup, reducing downtime between production cycles.

How It Works

The Zero Hold Up Filter Press uses a reversed flow mechanism where unfiltered liquid enters from the bottom and exits through the top. This method eliminates the risk of liquid retention, meaning there is zero leftover product after filtration.

A series of filter plates hold filter media, capturing impurities while allowing only the purified liquid to pass. The uniform pressure distribution prevents filter clogging, improving efficiency and extending filter life.

Customizable Filtration Process

The machine supports different filter media types, including filter pads, membranes, and cartridges, to handle various liquid viscosities. Operators can adjust filtration pressure and flow rate depending on the required filtration precision.

Multiple plate configurations of the  Zero Hold Up Filter Press  allow customization based on batch volume, making the machine suitable for small-scale and large-scale production.

User-Friendly Operation

A simple clamping mechanism allows quick assembly and disassembly of filter plates, reducing cleaning time. The leak-proof sealing system prevents product loss, improving overall filtration yield. The machine operates with minimal vibration and noise, making it easy to integrate into existing production lines.

An optional hydraulic tightening system reduces manual effort, providing consistent pressure for uniform filtration.

Key Features

• GMP-compliant stainless steel body for contamination-free filtration
• Zero hold-up design to prevent liquid wastage
• Supports multiple filter media options for various applications
• Leak-proof sealing system for improved efficiency
• Compact and space-saving structure
• Customizable pressure and flow rate for different liquid types

The liquid is fed into the filter of the machine and it is done under positive pressure. Now, the liquid travels downwards and passes through the opening on the sides of filter plates. The filter media holds back foreign particles and enables only clear filtrate to go past the central channel. This central channel is made by interlocking pressure cups to the outlet. The filtration process continues until the cake holding capacity gets saturated or the filtrate rate gets way slower than it must be. This happens due to decreasing cake resistance.
