Peruvian syrup producers achieve a quality breakthrough with compact hydraulic filter presses
Solve production challenges
A leading food processing company in Peru, which specializes in providing high-quality syrup products for both domestic and export markets, is facing significant challenges in achieving consistent clarity in its syrup. Traditional filtration methods are difficult to effectively remove diatomite - a filtration aid used to capture fine impurities - resulting in changes in product quality and occasional production delays. Due to the space limitations of its processing facilities, the demand for compact and efficient solutions is of vital importance. A leading food processing company in Peru has transformed its syrup production process by implementing the XAY1/500 hydraulic filter press for diatomite (DE) filtration
Technical implementation
The XAY1/500 hydraulic filter press is custom-made to meet the specific requirements of syrup filtration:
Compact and space-saving design
The system measures 1100×600×700mm and can be seamlessly integrated into the manufacturer's existing production line, maximizing space utilization without compromising performance.
High-efficiency filtration
The filtration area is 1M² and the volume is 15L, suitable for processing syrup with a capacity of 600L/h and a DE content of 1.97-3%.
Made of 304 stainless steel structure and treated with sandblasting on the surface, it ensures full compliance with food safety regulations.
The central feeding and closed-flow filtration design minimizes product loss and maximizes output.
Precision and reliability
The manual plate-pulling system combined with hydraulic compression can precisely control the filtration cycle.
The working pressure is 0.6MPa to ensure the thorough removal of DE while maintaining the integrity of the syrup.
Business results
Since its implementation, the XAY1/500 system has achieved remarkable results:
99.5% DE removal efficiency: Obtain crystal-clear syrup and always maintain high purity.
Increase production throughput: Continuous processing capacity, 150 gallons per hour (600L/h).
Reduce operating costs: Due to the powerful design of the system, product losses are minimized and maintenance requirements are reduced.
