PUTSCH® Candle Filters

PUTSCH® candle filters and frame filters have been standard equipment in the sugar industry worldwide for decades. The filters are used successfully in sugar beet factories as well as in sugar refineries. Application in sugar cane factories is also possible.

These pressure filter systems are particularly suitable for thickening of suspensions with low to moderate solid contents, for safety filtration and for syrop filtration.

PUTSCH® High Performance Candle Filters (HKF) and PUTSCH® High Performance Frame Filters (HRF) are discontinuously working filters with back flush.
