1977 SCHMIDT Plate filter

A plate filter is a device used in the food industry to filter liquids in order to remove particles, impurities and other unwanted substances from liquid products. Plate filters are an important part of the food production process because they help preserve product quality, eliminate impurities and ensure food safety for consumers.

Plate filters consist of multiple plates or discs placed one above the other, with a filter medium between them. The liquid mixture to be filtered is introduced under pressure into a plate filter, where the filter medium retains particles and impurities while the clean liquid passes through the filter and comes out as a filtrate.

In the food industry, plate filters are often used to filter various liquid products such as water, juices, syrups, oils, wines, beer, milk and other liquids that require precise filtering to remove impurities, bacteria, residues and other substances that can affect on product quality.

Plate filters can also be used to purify liquid ingredients before they are further processed or packaged, as well as to reuse process fluids to reduce waste and use resources more economically.

The advantages of using plate filters in the food industry include:

1. Removal of impurities and particles from liquid products, which improves product quality and purity.

2. Improving food safety by eliminating bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms from liquid ingredients.

3. Improving the stability of the product by filtering out undesirable substances that can affect the shelf life of the product.

4. Improving the taste, smell and appearance of the product by eliminating impurities and residues.

5. Increasing production efficiency and maintaining hygiene in the food production process.
