Sparkler Filter Press Manufacturer in Zimbabwe

Mecha Engineering Pvt. Ltd. designs and fabricates sparkler filter presses at its own works at Village Meharbani on Behat Road, Saharanpur, India. The company was set up in 2022 and supplies filtration, extraction, distillation, drying and process equipment to pharmaceutical, herbal, chemical, beverage, food and cosmetic units in Zimbabwe, across India and in other export markets.

Unfiltered liquid is pumped under positive pressure into the central channel of the cartridge from the bottom of the shell. Suspended particles are held on the filter media resting on each horizontal plate, while clear filtrate passes out through the peripheral holes into the tank and leaves at the bottom outlet. Because the shell wall never contacts the unfiltered liquid, it stays clean through the cycle.

Standard plate diameters are 8, 14, 18, 24 and 33 inch, with 4 to 33 plates depending on the model and the shell height. Indicative output runs from around 100 litres per hour on a small 8 inch pilot unit to roughly 20,000 litres per hour on a fully loaded 33 inch machine. Actual throughput depends on your liquid viscosity, solid load and media, so tell us the litres you filter per shift and we work backwards to the plate size.

A standard sparkler filter leaves some liquid inside the shell at the end of the cycle, which is acceptable for water based and low cost liquids. A zero hold-up or reverse flow model uses a modified cartridge and piping to push that residual liquid out, so recovery is close to complete. Pharmaceutical, herbal extract and essential oil buyers usually choose the zero hold-up build because the product left behind costs more than the price difference.

The standard build uses SS 304 for the shell, plates, screens and interlocking cups. SS 316 and SS 316L are used where the liquid is corrosive or where a regulated audit requires it, and a common GMP arrangement is SS 316 on all contact parts with SS 304 on non-contact parts. Mill test certificates for every plate and pipe are issued in your company name and shipped with the machine along with the GA drawing and test report.

Yes, with a jacketed shell. Steam or hot water in the jacket keeps the liquid at working temperature so it does not thicken and choke the media midway through the cycle. This is the normal build for honey packers in Manicaland and the Honde Valley, cooking oil and fat processors, and the sugar syrup lines at Chiredzi and Triangle, usually paired with a gear or lobe pump rather than a centrifugal one.

Filter paper suits fine polishing, filter cloth handles heavier solid loads, and SS wire mesh, cellulose pads or PP media are used where the liquid or the cleaning cycle demands it. Media is changed when the inlet pressure gauge reaches the set limit, which is the signal that the cake has filled the plate. A starting stock of media is packed with the machine, and we quote a yearly requirement so you can order it with the consignment rather than piecemeal.

Yes. The pump motor is wired for a 415 V, 50 Hz three phase supply, which matches Zimbabwean site power, and a flameproof motor and starter are fitted where the filtration is on ethanol or another flammable liquid. A jacketed shell runs on low pressure steam or hot water from whatever you already have on site.

Positioning, piping tie-in, pump and panel wiring, water trial, the first product batch and operator training at your Zimbabwe site are quoted inside the supply scope. Our engineers travel for commissioning and back your team afterwards with drawings, video support and a planned consumables schedule. Because the machine arrives on its own castor base, positioning is straightforward.

Standard handover covers the general arrangement drawing, material of construction certificates, hydro and pressure test reports, weld and polish records, the operating and maintenance manual and a spare parts list. DQ, IQ and OQ protocols, along with a validation document set, are prepared on request for regulated and export buyers.

Standard 8 to 18 inch units are ready in 2 to 4 weeks from order confirmation. Larger 24 and 33 inch machines, jacketed shells and flameproof builds take 5 to 6 weeks. Allow a further 4 to 6 weeks for sea freight and inland haulage. The machine crates small enough to consolidate with other equipment in a shared container, which is worth planning if you are ordering more than one item.
