ADVANCED PREGNANT LIQUOR PURIFICATION WITH A NEW BACKFLUSH FILTER

Encouraged by feedback from customers, BOKELA has developed a completely new generation of polishing filters – the Liquor Cleaner. This filter offers improved performance, lower investment capital and lower maintenance costs. The new filter is designed for high pressures of up to 12 bar (abs.) which offer new options for liquor polishing filtration. These high pressures and temperatures allow filter operation with reduced viscosity, improving filter performance and reducing loss of product due to reduced crystallization. A specially developed laboratory test-rig has also been developed which provides reliable data for process design and filter up-scaling.
