Hi-Bar Oyster Filters

Innovative Solutions for High-quality Separation Applications

The Hi-Bar Oyster Filter is the most compact version of the Hi-Bar Pressure and Steam Pressure Filtration. It is used when small filter units are required.

The Hi-Bar Oyster Filter usually comprises a drum filter which is designed for demanding filtration tasks in the chemical, pharmaceutical, food and life science industries when cake washing is required. Poorly filtering, fine-grained suspensions can be safely separated at high temperature, high pressure (up to 7 bar, abs) and without contamination since the process is hermetically closed. Dramatically low moistures are reached by Hi-Bar Steam Pressure Filtration. The disc filters are used for filtration and dewatering tasks which do not require an intensive cake washing
