Filters Leaf
Saifilter manufactures Filter Leaf Elements with different structural shapes, including Rectangular and Round Filter Leaves. As a renowned Filter Element producer, we ensure high quality in every product. Specialized in the design and production of wet and dry filter cake discharge. Suitable for almost all brands and models of pressure leaf filters on the market.
Saifilter Filter Leaf usually consists of 5 or 3 layers of metal braided mesh, installed in vertical and horizontal pressure leaf filters, and is the core filter element of the equipment. Filter Leafs can be customized in different sizes and shapes and riveted or bolted according to specific equipment application requirements.
Performance:
Saifilter's filter leaves are composed of five layers of stainless steel wire mesh and can be selected from a variety of edging methods, including riveting, welding, bolting, or a combination of the above. Flexible filter layer configuration, with high filtration precision, can significantly improve the productivity and filtration efficiency of the system.
Saifilter filter leaves are the core component of every pressure leaf filter. Replacing old or damaged filter leaves with new or re-cleaned filter leaves will improve the performance of the entire filtration system.
Reliability
Saifilter Pressure Filter Leaves are manufactured from standard 316L stainless steel, whose mechanical properties provide excellent resistance to stress, corrosion, temperature fluctuations, and extreme pressure changes.
For particularly challenging applications, we offer other alloy material options. The manufacturing of Saifilter filter leaf involves design, technology, and assembly processes to minimize downtime and extend the service life of the filter leaf.
Structure Type
Filters leaves are available in different types according to their specific application requirements and functions. The structure and design of the Saifilter filter leaf depend on the specific liquid media it needs to filter. Key considerations include the nature of what is being filtered and whether residues, contaminants, or particulates need to be preserved, stored, or reused. These key questions are critical in determining the type of filter leaf elements required and the design of filter leaves.
Vertical Filter Leaf
Vertical Filter Leaf Designed specifically for use in Vertical containers, the filter leaf allows the filter cake to be quickly released and drained by gravity. Maintaining a constant flow rate throughout the filtration cycle is critical to maintaining filter cake formation.
The vertical filter leaf, which is rectangular and has a bottom drain, is one of the most common structures.
Bottom open end Filter Leaves are designed to fit the container curvature, allowing for more complete drainage of filtrate.
Center hub Outlet Horizontal Filters Leaf
The shape is round with a hole in the center of the filter. Drainage hole through center distributor. To collect and direct traffic more evenly.
Multi-layer heavy-duty wire mesh construction remains rigid and flat during operation.
Saifilter Standard Filter Leaf Mesh Specification
Saifilter Filter Leaves filter media consists of woven mesh with different mesh layer configurations. Select the corresponding mesh layer structure according to different filtration process requirements. The circular blades used for horizontal containers and the rectangular blades used for vertical containers are made of metal edging. The metal screen is placed inside the Leaf Disc Filter as a support layer, and the Fine Filter Mesh medium is placed inside the filter leaf.
