Replacement MVDCD Leaf Filter Elements | OEM Alternative Filter Leaves

Many industrial plants using MVDCD vertical pressure leaf filter systems depend on reliable filter leaves to maintain stable filtration performance.

Over time, filter leaves may require replacement due to:

  • Mechanical damage;
  • Corrosion;
  • Wear of filtration mesh;
  • Reduced filtration efficiency;
  • Increased pressure drop.

Replacing the complete pressure leaf filter system is often unnecessary. High-quality replacement MVDCD leaf filter elements can restore filtration performance and extend the operating life of existing equipment.

SEPARATECH provides OEM alternative filter leaves for MVDCD vertical pressure leaf filter systems, manufactured according to original dimensions, drawings, samples, and application requirements.

What Are MVDCD Leaf Filter Elements?

The MVDCD is a vertical pressure leaf filter system widely used in industrial solid-liquid separation applications.

The system uses multiple stainless steel filter leaves installed on a central manifold.

During filtration:

  1. Feed suspension enters the filter vessel;
  2. Solids are retained on the outer surface of the filter leaves;
  3. Liquid passes through the filtration media;
  4. Clarified filtrate exits through the internal drainage system.

The filter leaves are the key filtration components that determine:

  • Filtration efficiency;
  • Filtrate clarity;
  • Pressure drop;
  • Operating cycle time.

The original MVDCD system uses individually mounted filter leaves, allowing individual elements to be removed, inspected, cleaned, repaired, or replaced.


Replacement MVDCD Leaf Filter Elements

For plants operating MVDCD vertical pressure leaf filters, replacement filter leaves provide a cost-effective maintenance solution.

SEPARATECH manufactures replacement MVDCD leaf filter elements suitable for existing systems.

Our replacement filter leaves can be produced according to:

  • Original filter leaf dimensions;
  • Existing filter leaf samples;
  • Equipment drawings;
  • Filtration requirements;
  • Process conditions.

This allows customers to maintain their existing filtration equipment without replacing the complete filter system.
