Food and Beverage Processing
Compositech manufactures several filters used in food and beverage processing applications. We produce drum filters specifically used to handle slurries with variations in cake thickness, moisture content and stickiness. These conditions are frequently experienced in food and beverage processing. The belt discharge, string discharge, or precoat discharge drum filters most often used in these applications are extremely versatile and provide reliable, continuous liquid and solid separation with minimum operator attention.
Compositech also manufactures a line of belt press filters used for food processing. We have also been instrumental in replacing parts and completely rebuilding belt presses for several food processing customers. Our rebuilt belt presses include improved designs which increase throughput, increase dry solids content, and reduce operations and maintenance costs.
We manufacture several horizontal belt filter models used by our food processing customers and we have fully enclosed models with food grade components to accomodate cake processing. With Compositech's horizontal belt filters, many different slurries can be filtered, including fibrous materials, fine slimes, and coarse granular or crystalline solids. Horizontal belt filters provide high extraction efficiency, low cake moisture, increased production, and reduced operating costs while achieving maximum filtration area in comparison to other filter operations.
In addition to manufacturing our own design of drum filters, belt press filters, and horizontal belt filters, we also provide replacement parts and filter rebuild services for other filter brands and other types of filters. For food and beverage processing, we have several customers who use vertical press filters in their processes and our spare parts manufacturing capabilities include a variety of parts for these filters. Vertical press filters offer large capacity, improved cake washing, low cake moisture content, and increased process recoveries in operation which makes them ideal for certain applications in food processing. Our goal in manufacturing filter replacement parts is to offer upgrades to filter peformance and reliability. Our parts meet vigorous standards for quality and durability and are designed to offer increased filter performance and lower maintenance costs. Our components meet or beat the quality of the original equipment used by the filter manufacturer.
