Description & Usage

A “sparkler” or horizontal plate filter uses circular filter pads stacked vertically on a center shaft. It is designed for high-clarity “polishing” filtration. Because it is a batch-process filter, it is perfect for high-value products where the goal is extreme purity and the removal of trace particulates.
