Star Plate and Frame Filter Presses are designed and built to provide years of dependable service. Sturdily built with a rugged carbon steel stand coated in durable epoxy paint, standard heads, plates, frames and their components are fabricated from 304 stainless steel. Heavily reinforced for maximum life, the precision-machined plates, frames and heads warrant a tight seal and near-zero leakage without gaskets. Star Filter Presses can be fabricated in 316 and 316L stainless steel, as well as other special alloys upon request.

The Star Oil Treatment System (OTS) reduces oil replacement and disposal costs. The OTS actually improves the condition of the oil with each daily treatment, consistently providing a superior quality end product.

Applications

Food and beverage processing; mining and metalworking; chemical and petrochemical processing; pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, biotech processing.

Round

Star round plate and frame filter presses are fabricated out of bar stock, plate and tubular steel with no cast parts. Standard construction material for all contact surfaces is #304 stainless steel. Also available in #316 and other alloys.

Square

Star square filter presses are fabricated from plate, bar and tube stock. Standard construction material for plates, heads, frames, pipes – all contact parts – is #304 stainless steel.

Tabletop

This filter boasts many features including a filter area of 43.29 in² and a sludge capacity of 13.53 in³, #316 stainless steel construction, and manual bypass loop arrangement. Other details include precision-machined plates, frames, and heads.

Oil Treatment System (OTS)

The OTS combines the efficiency of a filter press with adsorbent powders to produce clear, high-quality, reusable cooking oil, and reduce the free fatty acids and polar compounds. Equipment is custom-engineered to meet specific applications.
