Description

The GPBF11 bench allows the study of a filter press.A pump circulates raw water previously prepared in the filter press. The filter will retain impurities and the water at the outlet will be clear. The flow rate and filter feed pressure will be adjusted manually to visualize the different filter behaviors.

The robust design of this device makes it suitable for use in schools.
The equipment is set up on an Anodized aluminium frame on casters wheels. This gives it great strength and a flexibility of integration into your premises.The manufacture of this equipment complies with the European standard for machinery manufacturing.
