Distributor for Ertel Alsop Filtration Applications
Finding reliable sources for disposable filtration products is a difficult task without the right tools. At Findlow Filtration, our established network of high quality suppliers makes it easy to find the filtration solutions needed for any industrial application.
ErtelAlsop is our primary supplier for disk pak filters, liquid processing equipment, and plate/frame filter presses. Their MicroMedia series of filters covers is able to serve food processing, pharmaceutical and cosmetics applications, and can be configured for high solids or high purity mediums. Composed of cutting-edge materials like perlite resins and composite diatomaceous earth, these filters can capture particles as small as 5 µm. Also available are specialty pharmaceutical filters and their Alpha Media cellulose filters, an organic design that is perfect for food processing and is 21CFR 176.170 compliant.
Our distribution currently serves customers in various Midwestern metro areas, including Dayton, Cincinnati, Columbus, Indianapolis, Lexington, Louisville, and Paducah. To learn more about the ErtelAlsop products we offer, see the table below or contact us directly.
Disc Pak Filters, Plate & Frame Filter Presses
ErtelAlsop’s dewatering filter presses are among the most efficient means of liquid-solid separation through pressure filtration, either for solution filtration or sludge volume reduction. A filter press provides a simple reliable method of high compaction pressure to compress and dewater solids into filter cakes of 25-60% total concentration. This provides clearer filtrate solutions than other filter press systems that only remove free water.
The EA Series of heavy-duty recessed chamber filter presses and our membrane squeeze filter presses are available in 100 PSI or 225 PSI design rating, and for solids handling ranging from 1 ft³, all the way to 350 ft³.
Thirty-two (32mm) millimeter gasketed polypropylene filter plates are standard on all models, making these heavy-duty filter presses well suited for applications, which require leak-free processing. Other standard features include a chemically resistant painted steel skeleton, 304 stainless steel bar wear strips, schedule 80 PVC head connections, four corner discharge, hydraulic closure system, and a full 6-year framework warranty.
