Purpose of Filtration
Peterson Filters has engineered innovative products for the purpose of filtration in a wide variety of applications and industries. We’ve dedicated ourselves to creating machines that expedite and optimize your filtration process for increased efficiency.
Peterson Filters’ experience spans a number of products involving solid-liquid separation. From our beginnings in the metallurgical industry, our vacuum filter products have been applied in many filtration processes including those in the chemical and food industries.
Peterson “drum,” “pre-coat drum,” and “disc” filters have been widely applied to solve specific solid-liquid separation problems. Most applications involve the installation of the filter unit and several separate accessories. All of the components are then connected to form an operating filtration system. However, some small scale applications lend themselves to “platform” type equipment where the filter and all necessary ancillary equipment are integrated into a single unit ready to “plug in” at the installation site.

Filter media plays an important part in the operation of filtration equipment, and our original equipment is always fitted with the best media selection for initial startup of the equipment. Continuing service after startup includes monitoring the functional and economical performance of filter media and changing it, if necessary. This is an ongoing process backed up by testing samples in our filter laboratory to confirm proper filter media selection.
In addition to providing depth in the analysis phase of a filter application, we can make recommendations regarding equipment upstream and downstream of the filter. Our goal is for our customers to derive maximum benefit from our products used for the purpose of filtration, and this sometimes involves equipment selection closely related to the filtration step. Our experienced application engineering capability and follow-up service provides our customers with superior vacuum filter products.
