• tailor-made systems
• equipment programme for a wide range of filtration applications
• optimised selection of the filter media to meet the specified product and process requirements
• enclosed and environmentally safe systems

MAVAG filters are successful in operation in the:

• chemical process industry
• production of fine chemicals
• agro chemicals production
• dyestuff production
• pharmaceutical production
• bio processing
• flavor and fragrancies production
• metallurgical industry
• environmental applications
  

They are used in many separation processes as:

• clarifying filtration or cake filtration in direct, precoat or polishing operation
• for solid liquid separation processes in enclosed systems
• for optimised solutions in special application on a proven, economical basis
  

• with manual cake discharge from the open filters either with lowered bottom or lifted top
• with solid discharge over a rising pipe in suspended form or dissolved after reslurrying with a top mounted agitator
• as polishing filters (depth filters)

Typical filter parameters are:

• filter area 0,06 – 3,2 m²
• vessel volume 2,0 – 5000 liters
• cake height 50 – 300 mm
  

• to distribute, smooth, reslurry, suspend and discharge of the filter cake
• for the separation of suspensions with relatively high solid content
• for the solid separation with intensive cake washing

Typical filter parameters are:

• filter area 0,17 – 15 m²
• vessel volume 100 – 15’000 liters
• cake height 50 – 500 mm

Filter-Dryer
The filter-dryer combines two process steps of filtration and cake drying without product transfer to an other equipment. The agitated pressure filter with heated bottom and heated top as well as heated agitator. Optionally equipped with dust filter, vacuum pump and solvent recovery system.

Separation of suspension with high solid content. Processing of sensitive products. Gently thermal end drying of the filter cake to very low residual moisture contents. 

Typical filter parameters are:

• filter area 0,25 – 10,0 m²
• vessel volume 150 – 10’000 liters
• cake height 50 – 500 mm
  

Typical characteristics of the MAVADISC® filter are:

• filtration in automated and enclosed systems
• precoat filters with wet cake discharge
• residue filters with dry cake discharge
• absolute filtration with MAVASCREEN® filter plates, with exactly defined and easy to clean perforation
• totally enclosed system for environmental safe and hazard-free operation
• uniform cake formation
• top driven shaft with external bearing
• minimised product losses due to heel filtration at the end of the cycle
• cake washing by cascade method
• cake drying with closed inert gas circuit

Typical filter parameters are:

• filter area: 0,15 – 45 m² (larger sizes upon request)
• filter plate diameter: 0,3 – 1,2 m
• cake volume: 30 – 2'800 liters
  

Static modular filter in an enclosed system. The straight forward filter design without mechanical devices assures high reliability in operation.

The filter insert is lifted from the filter as a complete unit. The cake will be removed sheet wise in an appropriate location.

Typical filter parameters are:

• separation of suspension with low solid content
• in time filtration for continous processes
• polishing filter in sequence to other filters
• filter area 2,0 – 8,0 m²
• cake volume 11 – 105 liters
• mesh size 0,5 – 200 µm
• filtration performance 4,0 – 16 m³/h

• research and development 
• plant engineering
• installation and commissioning of equipment, systems and plants for the solid / liquid separation

In addition to special equipment manufacturing and services MAVAG does have the experience and engineering capacity to design and install turn key plants.

This means for you? 

• straight forward project management and single-hand responsibility.
• experienced engineers are responsible for your project from the first meeting to the commissioning of the plant, from the specification to the validation and, last but not least, training of your operating personal and after-sales services.
• project Documentation and Validation Support
• the documentation for the plant will be put together according to the individual requirements and includes apparatus documents, manuals as well as IQ / OQ documentation. Validation services to confirm the cGMP conformity according to the FDA requirements are a speciality of MAVAG.
