Filter Press and Micro Filter Pilot Plant – HydraNexis HNX 03
A CE-certified precision laboratory apparatus for engineering experimentation and technical education, manufactured by Scientico India to ISO 9001:2015 standards. Supplied with calibration certificate, operation manual, and complete export documentation. Designed for Water Treatment Technology laboratories in engineering colleges and technical institutions.
The Filter Press and Micro Filter Pilot Plant (HydraNexis HNX 03) is a laboratory and pilot-scale filtration system designed to demonstrate cake filtration and tangential microfiltration processes. Manufactured by SCIENTICO as part of the HydraNexis series, this unit is used for hands-on learning and experimental analysis in environmental engineering, process engineering, and filtration technology training. It enables controlled study of solid-liquid separation mechanisms commonly applied in water treatment and beverage processing.
Product Overview
The HydraNexis HNX 03 pilot plant integrates a plate and frame filter press with a tangential flow microfilter, both supplied by a centrifugal feed pump from a stirred feed tank containing a prepared suspension. The system demonstrates dead-end filtration using a filter press and cross-flow filtration using a microfilter within a single experimental setup.
During operation, a suspension, typically water mixed with diatomite, is maintained in a homogeneous state by a mechanical stirrer. The suspension is pumped into the plate and frame filter press or microfilter housing. In the filter press, solids are retained on filter cloths mounted on grooved plates, forming a filter cake, while the clarified filtrate passes through internal channels into a collection tank. In tangential filtration, solids are separated at the membrane surface and the microfilter is periodically cleaned once the maximum pressure drop is reached. Optional PID control allows operation at constant pressure or flow rate for advanced experimental studies
