CERAMICS & CLAY INDUSTRY
For applications in the ceramics and clay industry, filter elements with large capacity are required. Large filtration surfaces as well as high solids content in the filter cake are the main requirements for the filter element to be used. Often, squeeze pressures of up to 30 bar are required in order to achieve the highest soldids content possible.
