At last: a pressure filter that complies with international standards
Essa Batch Pressure Filters have been completely redesigned and built to comply with pressure vessel standards around the world. The new design gives you more productive filtration than ever before. Use them to separate solutions on mine sites, in gold rooms, assay laboratories and other metallurgical test facilities.
WHAT WE OFFER
World-class plant and lab pressure filters that operators love to use
"If we get more filters like that [the Essa CPF015] to replace the other filters, I will not take a vacation for six months."
It’s not often you hear lab operators praise pressure filters. Traditionally they have not been the most pleasant device to use in the met lab or plant. Bending to load and unload. Manually tightening plates. Difficult to access filter cakes. The ever-present threat of slurry violently escaping under high-pressure.
When we decided to redesign our range of pressure filters we were determined to make them one of industry’s safest to use. But they had to be trouble-free and easy to use too.
“It is ergonomically friendly”
“There is no need for excessive bending over to tighten items down”
“You know when it is secured”
“Drainage is upfront as opposed to the rear”
“The gaskets seat up inside the lid, in case of pressure release sample will go down as oppose to straight at you or towards the ceiling”
“No tools needed to tighten it down”
“It looks intimidating at first to use, but once you know how to use it, there is no going back to the other filters”
It seems we achieved this goal.
But what was bad? “We don’t have more of them”.
Why completely redesign our pressure filters?
Safety is paramount in any industry. When batch pressure filters were put under the spotlight in 2015 by the Government of Western Australia as posing a risk to mine safety, we were quick to respond. While we were confident that our existing design of Essa Pressure Filters did not pose any safety risks to workers beyond those expected using this type of equipment, we chose to forge a new path of safety standards that would give you more peace of mind.
We commenced a collaborative project to build improved products to satisfy any reviewed requirements of authorities and regulatory bodies around the world. Our metallurgical process specialists and product engineers worked with a firm of independent engineers to improve the design in terms of safety, ergonomics, productivity and longevity. User feedback was also valuable to make sure the usual challenges of operating pressure filters would become a thing of the past.
We’re confident that the new Essa® Certified Pressure Filters will be the safest and easiest pressure filters you’ve ever used.
