MEMBRANE FILTER PRESS SYSTEMS PKF
There are more than 1,000 of our Putsch® PKF high capacity filters in service worldwide. For more than 25 years, the continually improved PKF Series has been the industry standard in many processing industries.
The main areas of operation of the Putsch® PKF, in the sugar industry, are the following:

- For fine filtration of massecuite and syrup, using a minimum amount of filter-aid.
In refineries:
- Un-sweetened of muds coming from the clarifier.
