Performance & Technical Specifications of Vertical Leaf Filter for Oil Filtration
After installation and commissioning, the vertical leaf filter delivered to the Cameroon client showed outstanding operational performance in a hot, humid environment. The filter achieved a high filtration capacity of 1.5–2.5 tons per hour with oil clarity reaching less than 0.05% solid residue. The downtime was reduced by 35% compared to the previous filtration method, and cleaning was required only every 24–36 hours, significantly lowering manual labor during the discharge phase.
Below are the key technical specifications of the delivered Vertical Pressure Leaf Filter:
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Filter Type | Vertical Leaf Filter |
| Filtration Area | 5 m² |
| Working Pressure | 0.4–0.6 MPa |
| Filtration Accuracy | ≤ 5 μm |
| Material | Carbon steel with epoxy protective coating |
| Cake Discharge Mode | Hydraulic lid lifting system and bottom discharge port |
| Suitable Oil Types | Sunflower, soybean, palm, peanut oil |
This equipment perfectly balances robust technical design and excellent field performance, providing a reliable, efficient, and low-maintenance solution for edible oil filtration in medium-scale refining plants.
