Vertical Pressure Leaf Filter
Versis
Edible Oil Filtration

1. Introduction
The Versis pressure leaf filter is a vertical pressure filter from
MAHLE Industrial Filtration with a large specific filtration area due
to the shape of the filter elements. In the edible oil industry it is
used for several filtration steps, for example crude oil, bleaching
earth and micella filtration. We have been building these filters for
more than 60 years.
The Versis range incorporates several product improvements making the design state of the art.
More than 5000 vertical and horizontal pressure leaf filters have
been sold worldwide to the edible oil industry so far.
The double sided filter leaves are made from stainless steel. The
rigid filter leaves have five layers of stainless steel wire screen. The
top layer of screen depends on the application. The filter leaves
are individually mounted on the central manifold, which allows the
removal of any or all of the filter leaves easily and quickly. The filter cake can be dried with compressed air, inert gas or steam. The
cake is discharged by a pneumatic vibrator, through a large butterfly valve.
