Laboratory filter press type JVK® LFP 150

Functional Principle

The laboratory filter press JVK® LFP 150 was developed to investigate new tasks in suspension and cake treatment and to improve existing applications. It is designed so that different methods of cake treatment can be presented and tested:

  • Pressure filtration
  • Repressing with membrane (max. 60 bar)
  • Dry blowing with air
  • Thermal cake drying
  • Cake washing


The handy design allows the use directly on site at the customer’s premises. In conjunction with pneumatically controlled pumps, a compressed air network with 6 bar operating pressure is sufficient for operation. The appropriate chamber depth is set by selecting the correct filter frame thickness.

Complete Solution

The laboratory filter press JVK® LFP 150, type Gamma, can also be realized as a mobile version.

Available plate types

  • JVK® MCP – Membrane combination plate
  • JVK® MRP – Membrane chamber plate
  • JVK® TCC – temperature-controllable chamber plate

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.
