Case History

Industry: Food Processing

Requirement: Remove vegetable peels and skins form wash water, so water can be recycled.

Flow Range: 450 GPM

Special Factors: Because of the large solids in the wash water and heavy solids loading, a static screen filter with a .009" slot opening was required.

Solution: A LHS-Series Static Screen Filter, model LHS60, with 75 mesh stainless steel wedge wire screen, in a 60" wide 304 stainless steel housing.

Industry: Remediation

Requirement: Remove and decontaminate sand, then separate sand from wash water slurry, so it can be dried and then replaced at the site.

Flow Range: 107 GPM

Special Factors: Because of the weight of the wet sand, an impactor was needed to vibrate the filter screen slightly, to keep sand moving down the face of the unit.

Solution: A LHS-Series Static Screen Filter, model LHS48, with 200 mesh stainless steel wedge wire screen, with impactor. Unit does not require pressure. Filtered water is discharge out the bottom of the housing where it can be treated further, if needed and reused.

Industry: Chocolate Manufacturer

Requirement: Remove high concentration of shells, skins, dirt and other suspended solids from process water, to permit re-circulation and reuse.

Flow Range: 40 GPM

Special Factors: Anticipated difficulty in keeping the solids sliding freely off the screen face.

Solution: A LHS-Series Static Screen Filter, model LHS20, with 100 mesh (0.06") slot opening and all 304 stainless steel construction. Hinged weather hood cover for outdoor operation. Spray bars with nozzles for delivery of continuous hot water to maintain flow of solids off screen face.
