The company

What makes JVK unique?

Perfect Filtration. Worldwide!

Technological
Expertise

We have experience in process and filtration technology since 1962 and have a deep understanding of a wide range of applications and industries.

Our expertise ranges from the development of innovative filter elements made of high-quality thermoplastics and aluminum to the implementation of complex special solutions.

Thanks to state-of-the-art production techniques and continuous research, we can implement even the most demanding filtration tasks precisely, efficiently and sustainably – always with the aim of maximizing the performance of your systems.

Highest
quality standards

JVK is a Bavarian family business in which cohesion and reliability characterize everyday life. Many colleagues have been on board for years – often decades. Their knowledge remains in-house and makes our solutions stable and comprehensible. The interaction is friendly, informal and respectful: people know each other, listen to each other and value each individual service. For customers, this means fixed contacts, short distances and quality that can be measured – Made in Germany, from Bavaria.

The management by Dr. rer. nat. Alexis M. Speck reflects this culture: scientific precision meets a corporate culture that creates trust. This creates a working atmosphere in which ideas quickly find their way into practice – supported by a well-coordinated team that can rely on each other.

JVK – Technology with heart, quality with substance.

Customer-Centric
Solutions

Every filtration task is unique – and we design our solutions just as individually.

Thanks to flexible manufacturing, we can specifically address individual customer requirements and precisely adapt products to your processes.

Our experts offer comprehensive consultation – also directly on-site – and are ready with fast, practical solutions to resolve filtration problems and sustainably optimize processes.

Laboratory Filter Press Configurator

JVK SnapFit®

Screwless and non-destructive "SNAP" connection

Inspired by applications outside the industry, this fastening technique finds its place in filtration. This simple mounting option significantly reduces working times. The screwless assembly also prevents screws from falling into the filter cake trough. For example, an overhang cloth can be changed quickly and easily at the turbidity bore in the filter press using a ring remover and rubber hammer.

Through the connection with the JVK SnapFit®, the attachments are pre-assembled with sufficient holding force, ensuring they remain firmly connected during the transport of the filter elements. The attachments are fully fixed and sealed to the filter plate by the closing force of the filter press.

The ring remover (JVK utility model) is also a JVK development, specifically designed to release rings fastened with the JVK SnapFit® and safely remove them from the filter press area.
