Alternative Filter Leaf Elements for Versis Vertical Pressure Leaf Filters
Versis Filter Leaf Elements are the most critical components of any vertical pressure leaf filter system. Their condition directly affects filtration efficiency, filtrate quality, operating pressure, and production reliability.
After years of operation, filter leaves may require replacement due to:
- Mechanical damage;
- Corrosion;
- Blocked filtration mesh;
- Reduced filtration performance;
- Increased pressure drop.
For plants operating Versis vertical pressure leaf filter systems, replacing worn filter leaves is often a more economical solution than replacing the complete filtration equipment.
SEPARATECH supplies alternative filter leaf elements for Versis vertical pressure leaf filters, helping customers restore filtration performance with reliable replacement solutions.
Replacement Filter Leaf Elements for Versis Vertical Pressure Leaf Filters
A pressure leaf filter uses multiple stainless steel filter leaves installed inside a closed pressure vessel.
During filtration:
- The process liquid enters the filter vessel;
- Pressure forces liquid through the filter leaf surface;
- Solid particles are retained on the outer surface;
- Filtered liquid flows through the internal drainage structure.
The filter leaves determine:
- Filtration capacity;
- Filtrate clarity;
- Pressure drop;
- Cake discharge performance.
SEPARATECH manufactures replacement filter leaf elements based on:
- Existing filter leaf samples;
- Technical drawings;
- Dimensions;
- Application requirements.
Why Replace Versis Filter Leaf Elements Instead of the Complete Filter System?
For many industrial plants, the pressure vessel and supporting structure remain in good condition after years of operation.
In this situation, replacing only the filter leaves provides several advantages:
Lower Maintenance Cost
Replacing filter leaves avoids unnecessary investment in a complete filtration system.
Reduced Downtime
Customized replacement elements can be manufactured according to existing equipment requirements.
Extended Equipment Life
New filter leaves can restore filtration performance and extend the service life of existing pressure leaf filters.
Alternative Filter Leaf Elements Compatible with Versis Systems
SEPARATECH provides alternative filter leaf elements designed for existing Versis vertical pressure leaf filter applications.
These replacement elements are manufactured to match:
- Original installation dimensions;
- Filter leaf connection requirements;
- Filtration area;
- Operating conditions.
The purpose is to provide a reliable alternative solution while allowing customers to continue using their existing pressure leaf filter system.
Construction of Pressure Leaf Filter Elements
A typical pressure leaf element consists of several stainless steel components:
Filtration Mesh
The outer filtration layer controls particle retention and filtrate quality.
Support Mesh
The support layers provide mechanical strength and maintain filtration stability.
Drainage Structure
The internal drainage system allows filtered liquid to flow efficiently toward the outlet.
Reinforced Frame
The frame provides:
- Structural rigidity;
- Dimensional stability;
- Long service life.
SEPARATECH supplies pressure leaf filter elements using stainless steel mesh structures with different layer combinations according to filtration requirements.
