The Danish representative of the Larox pressure and polishing filters The Larox Pressure Filter A Larox pressure filter is a layered press that extracts liquid from solid matter hydraulically. The basic principle of Larox pressure filtration is simple.
Filtration takes place between horizontally stacked filtration plates.
The process slurry is pumped into a closed space between a permeable cloth and impermeable diaphragms. The specially designed diaphragms, which can be filled with 16-bar operating pressure, press the slurry and force the liquid through a filter cloth. The solids remaining on the cloth are then conveyed out of the unit as dry filter cake. The largest Larox filters produce as much as 150 tons of dry solids per hour. Larox filters are used in the mining, chemicals, food, pharmaceuticals, and other process industries.
