Filtration Comparison

Funda Filters with automated cake discharge and Vertical Plate Filters with manual cake removal are both pressure leaf/plate filtration technologies, but they differ significantly. Manual cake removal is a hands-on process that requires more operator involvement, often leading to inefficiencies. In contrast, Funda Filters feature an automated design that enhances both filtration performance and safety. The following comparison highlights the key points illustrating why Funda Filters are the superior choice for your filtration process:

• Automated vs. Manual Cake Removal Process
• Enhanced Operator Safety
• Cost-Effectiveness

Automated VS Manual Process

Steri Funda Filter: Automated Process

The Steri Funda filter features an automated and fully enclosed cake discharge process that eliminates the need for manual intervention. This automation not only reduces downtime but also maximizes productivity, resulting in increased production time and a more efficient filtration process.

Other Vertical Plate Filters: Manual Process

Other filters rely on manual processes during cake discharge, requiring operators to remove and clean filter plates before reassembling them. This labor-intensive approach leads to higher maintenance needs, operational inefficiencies, and increased time consumption.

Operator Safety

Steri Funda Filter: Enhanced Safety

The Steri Funda Filter features a fully enclosed design that minimizes the need for operators to be near hazardous materials during the filtration process. This design significantly reduces operator exposure, which is crucial in industries where safety and environmental impact are paramount.

Other Vertical Plate Filters: Safety Concerns

The manual handling of materials poses significant safety risks to operators, particularly in applications involving hazardous substances. The requirement for personnel to be in close proximity to potentially harmful materials increases the likelihood of exposure and accidents.

Cost-Effectiveness

Steri Funda Filter: Long Term Savings

The Steri Funda Filter offers long-term savings that far exceed the upfront investment. Its automated process allows for lower maintenance costs, reduced downtime, and a longer filter life, proving to be more cost-effective over time.

Other Vertical Plate Filters: On-Going Operator Labor

Other vertical pressure filters may have a lower initial cost; however, they rely on a manual process that requires significant operator time, leading to higher long-term expenses. This manual approach can also result in increased downtime, as the cleaning process takes significantly longer and requires more frequent cleanings.

Seamless Transition

If you are considering replacing your vertical pressure filter with a Steri Funda filter, the transition is designed to be seamless. The Funda filter can fit into the same footprint with minimal piping changes. Our team of engineers is available to ensure a smooth installation process, allowing you to continue operations with minimal disruption.
