8 process industries
Filtration for eight process industries
Wherever solids have to come out of a liquid, a filter press is at work. These are the industries that run PAM filter presses, filter plates and accessories.
Chemicals
Corrosive slurries are where polypropylene earns its place. PAM plates offer excellent chemical and corrosion resistance, cycle after cycle.
Typical applications
- Basic chemicals
- Organic and inorganic compounds
- Phosphoric compounds
- Marine chemicals
- Silica
- Activated clay
- Resins
- Starch
- Enzymes
- Pesticides

Dyestuff and pigments
Colour producers need a clean cake and a tight plate pack. CGR and membrane plates keep the press floor dry and the product consistent.
Typical applications
- Dyestuff
- Pigments
- Intermediates

Pharmaceuticals
Plate and frame systems give the wash performance and hygiene that pharmaceutical filtration demands.
Typical applications
- Antibiotics
- Syrups
- Intravenous solutions
- Bulk drugs and intermediates

Effluent and wastewater
Dewatering sludge cuts disposal cost. Membrane plates squeeze out more water and shorten every cycle.
Typical applications
- Industrial wastewater
- Municipal wastewater
- Paper
- Leather
- Latex
- Sewage

Ceramics and minerals
Abrasive, high-solids slurries call for robust plates with reinforced edges and a surface that protects the cloth.
Typical applications
- Kaolin
- Clay
- Porcelain
- Fine earth
- Industrial sands
- Marble

Metallurgy
Non-ferrous metal recovery depends on reliable solid-liquid separation under pressure.
Typical applications
- Nickel
- Copper
- Zinc
- Lead
- Silver
- Non-ferrous metals
Products that fit
Food and beverages
Plastic plates meet high hygiene requirements and work with disposable filter media for clean changeovers.
Typical applications
- Soups and flavourings
- Cane juice
- Edible oil
- Fats
- Palm oil
- Distilleries

Viscose and fibres
Fibre producers run filtration around the clock. Long-life polypropylene plates keep the line moving.
Typical applications
- Staple fibre
- Acrylic fibre
- Other fibres
