Choosing the filter type
Plate-and-frame filters give the finest clarity for retail oil but need cloth changes and cleaning labor. Vacuum filters integrate well behind continuous presses. Centrifugal filters run without consumables and suit workshop-scale volumes. The right choice depends on how clear your market demands the oil and how much labor you can assign to cleaning.
Key parameters to define
- Oil types and volumes to filter per day.
- Clarity standard: direct retail bottle or bulk settled oil.
- Acceptable consumable cost (filter cloth/paper) per tonne.
- Cleaning labor and downtime you can absorb.
- Whether the filter runs inline behind a press or standalone.
Typical configuration ranges
| Item | Common options | Indicative range |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Plate-frame, vacuum drum, centrifuge | By clarity and labor |
| Throughput | Filter area / bowl size | 100–600 kg/h oil |
| Consumables | Cloth, paper, none (centrifuge) | Cost per tonne varies |
| Cleaning | Manual, quick-release frames | 15–60 min per cycle |
Ranges are indicative. Filtration rate drops with cold, viscous oil.
What a quotation should clarify
| Quotation area | Questions to record |
|---|---|
| Clarity proof | Filtered oil sample photos or video on your oil type? |
| Consumables | Cloth/paper life in hours and cost per set? |
| Capacity basis | Rated throughput on which oil at what temperature? |
| Cleaning | Exact cleaning procedure and time per cycle? |
| Scope | Pump, piping and frame included? |
