Hy-Pack® Filter Presses
Beckart's Hy-Pack® Series of filter presses offer excellent solids retention, simple operation, and years of reliable service.
These plate-and-frame presses typically produce 35-50% solids in the filter cake, outperforming other filtering methods such as rotary vacuum, horizontal vacuum, and belt filter presses. All-steel welded construction and durable polypropylene filter plates are standard.
With full automation capabilities, operator time is limited primarily to press set-up, cake removal, and basic housekeeping. Hy-Pack® filter presses readily interface with existing equipment, and are easily expandable to accommodate future plant process changes.
