Nutsche filter – FPP filter
Nutsche pressure filters are extensively used to separate solids from liquids with the added benefit of removing impurities.
We provide agitated Nutsche filters operating under pressure and performing multi functions:
- Inertisation
- Filtration (solid–liquid separation)
- Cake smoothing
- Displacement washing
- Re-slurry washing
- Cleaning-in-place (CIP)
All operations are conducted without exposing operators to the products and without contaminating the product itself, ensuring safety and quality at the same time.
We provide special solutions to keep the process fully contained, also during the product’s filling and discharge operations.

More about glass lined Nutsche filters
Filters can be provided as standalone units or modular turnkey systems to simultaneously satisfy functional needs and efficiency in project costs and execution time.
For new or innovative applications or to assess the correct sizing even for consolidated processes, we provide support to customers with testing operations to study product filterability, to select the filtration media, to identify the ideal process parameters and to support scale-up.
