Hygienic Chamber Filter Press | EC-Beverage series

For food & pharmaceutical applications - Hygienic, safe and adaptable

The AQUACHEM EC-Beverage series has been specially developed for applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Wherever the highest hygiene standards, clean filtration, and reliable solid-liquid separation are required, this manual chamber filter press provides the ideal solution.

Thanks to the sealed filter elements, a safe process is always ensured and the medium to be filtered does not come into contact with the surrounding environment – a decisive advantage for hygiene-sensitive processes such as the filtration of wine, juices, or pharmaceutical suspensions.

Equipment & options

EC-B470 & EC-B630 – Compact, reliable, flexible

The smaller models of the EC-Beverage series offer easy operation combined with high performance. Both variants are equipped with manual plate shifting and the proven AQUACHEM rotary mechanism.

Available options:

control system: none/two-hand closing system/semi-automated via PLC
closing mechanism: electric or pneumatic-hydraulic

EC-B800 – EC-B1200 – Performance on a larger scale

The larger models of the EC-Beverage series offer higher capacity, robust technology, and optional comfort features. Particularly popular is the semi-automatic plate shifting for safe and convenient operation.

Equipment and options:

semi-automatic plate shifting with two-hand operation
control system with dialogue interface and touchscreen
integration of almost any feed pump possible

Semi-automatic plate shifting
- practical and safe -

In many processes, the filter cake does not fall out of the chamber filter press completely or reliably on its own. Therefore, an operator is often required to monitor the cake discharge process.

The semi-automatic plate shifting of the EC-Beverage series provides the optimal compromise:

safe operation with two-hand control
simplest mechanics without complex and failure-prone drive and control systems
robust and low-maintenance

For those seeking fully automatic and autonomous cake discharge without personnel involvement, the AQUACHEM AF series offers the ideal solution.

Why do we avoid using so-called shifter systems and refrain from cam shafts or similar unstable devices?
