40x40 Plate-and-Frame Filters

• manufactured by Spadoni since 1948

• All units come with sanitary piping which provides input to both top and bottom of filter. (also outlet). This provides faster and more efficient filtration than some competitive brands.
• Noryl plates--steam sterilizable
• 304 stainless steel
• TriClamp connections
• pump not included. Euro 30 single speed is good choice.

Olive Oil Filtration: Noryl plates are replaced with Moplen plates for olive oil filtration. Price is same as below. Just let us know and we will exchange the plates.

Lenticular vs Plate-and-Frame. A Lenticular Filter is an alternative to Plate-and-Frame. They do exactly the same thing. Lenticular is an enclosed bell-shaped filter.
Lenticular filter media (stacked discs) cost 13 TIMES MORE than the same sheets for plate-and-frame. As an example, 40 sheets of 40x40 cost ~$15 vs $200 for lenticular stack of equivalent area. We do not offer lenticular filters because their enormous media cost makes then inadvisable for beer/wine production.

• Jet05 Centrifugal Pump and Euro 30 pump are sufficient for these housings.
• Cartridge Filter Manual
• Bleed/Blowout Valve. The small valve at the top of the filter is used to bleed air from the housing during startup. The same valve can be used to blowout the product at the end of filtration (attach a gas hose).
• 2nd Pressure Gauge: It is the pressure difference between inlet/outlet that indicates the cartridge needs to be replaced or cleaned. However, the outlet pressure will be nearly zero if you are filtering into an open tank. Therefore, a single pressure gauge will suffice in this application. If you are filtering into a closed or restricted system, then you will need a pressure gauge on both sides of the filter.

Replacement Gasket for Single Housing $2.50
this is simply 4" TC silicone gasket

4 mm (~1/6") Replacement Gasket for Triple Housing $8
6 mm (~1/4") Replacement Gasket for Triple Housing $8
Match the thickness of your gasket to be sure to get the correct one. They are not interchangeable.

Replacement Clamp for 30" Triple housing $35
Replacement Clamp for single housings is 4" TC Clamp--see sanitary fittings page.

Outlet of cartridge housing is the center hole. In other words, the filtration direction is always from outside of filter to center.

Cartridge Blanks--these permit the use of the triple housing with one (or two) cartridges. Simply plug the unused port(s) with blank(s).

Sight Glass: A sight glass can be used at any point in the filter system. It is used to simply indicate when filtration begins or ends. Click here for sight glasses. These units are 1.5" TriClamp.

Housing bell polish: RA=8 micron-inch (inside and outside). Base polish: RA= 25 micron-inch. These values were measured by St. Patrick's with our Surface Roughness Analyzer.

Sanitary Gauge.
Glycerin filled diaphragm. Do not remove the base from the gauge.
Glycerin filled casing. The purpose of the glycerin is to prevent needle chatter. There will be a bubble in the glycerin.
