HORIZONTAL PLATE FILTERS
SCAVENGER
Twin Process Filtration offers the range of Sparkler
Horizontal Plate Filters. Sparkler Horizontal
Plate Filters are high-quality systems, that can
be used for numerous batch- and continuous
filtration processes. The system comprises of a
vertical tank, containing a number of horizontally
positioned filter plates.
The fluid to be filtered is passed over the filter
medium that is positioned between the filter
plates. The collected solids in the form of a
filter cake remains on the filter medium and the
polished liquid flows through the filter plates to
the filtrate outlet.
Proven technology
The principle of Horizontal Plate Filters is a tech-
nology that has proven itself in a wide range of
applications throughout the years. In addition
to quality, reliability and financial benefits, Twin
Process Filtration’s major added value is in the
manufacture of custom-built products. We can
develop a Horizontal Plate Filter for any filtration
process, which will meet with all your specifi-
cations and requirements.
In the Scavenger model the contaminated fluid is
entering the vessels and forced through the filter
media and flows towards the central outlet pipe
through which it is discharged. The scavenger
plate in the bottom of the filter tank, filters the last
part of the batch leaving practically no unfiltered
liquid.

2. FEATURES
Complete product recovery
Heel filtration with scavenger plate, no unfiltered
left over.
Cake stability
Due to the horizontal position of the filter plates,
the filter cake is unaffected by pressure fluctua-
tions or process shut-down. Good possibility for
cake washing, extraction or drying.
Flexible in application
All types of filter media ca be used, eventually in
combination with the use of filter aids.
Totally enclosed construction
Prevents evaporation, leakage and fumes from
escaping, no contamination by air.
Permits clean operation.
Quick change cartridge
The application of a spare cartridge or a bottom
equipment reduces filter down-time.
Sanitary operations
Filter plates can be easily taken apart for cleaning,
no hidden corners. Filter interior is fully electro
polished.
Pharmaceutical
The Scavenger plate feature assures practically
complete product recovery. Lots of pharmaceu-
ticals are assayed one by one and can be regi-
stered as a batch.
Food processing
The positive sanitation feature of Sparkler hori-
zontal plates and tanks is one important reason
why Sparkler filters are popular in food processing
plants.
Varnish, lacquer and resin
Delivered with or without steam jacket, these filters
are extensively used in the lacquer and synthetic
resin industry for clarifying and polishing varnish
and other clear liquids.
Fine chemicals
Available in a wide range of sizes and construc-
ted of a variety of metals to meet practically every
requirement in the chemical industry.
Electro plating
Horizontal plates are ideal for filtering nickel,
chromium, copper, gold and other types of pla-
ting solutions, either in continuous or intermittent
operation.
Beverages
Sparkler filters maintain a constant high quality for
precoat as well as absolute filtrations with mem-
brane filter medium.
Filter plates for the Scavenger filters are available
in three depths to meet the obtainable cake
thickness in combination with the required flow
rate.
