This Filter consists of a number of horizontal filter elements mounted on a central shaft. Depending on the application, the filter material clamped between the filter elements may be cellulose paper, textile filter fabric, needle felt or s.s sintered woven wire mesh.

The filter is especially suitable for batch processes or as a safety filter with a small solids load. Cleaning is done manually by removing the plates from the shaft one by one and cleaning them or by change/replace after filter septum.
