Bombay Pharma Equipments manufactures and supplies the Sparkler Filter Press — also known as the Horizontal Plate Filter Press — for manufacturers to South Africa. Center-feed, horizontal-plate batch filtration — portable, easy to operate and engineered for crystal-clear filtrate.
South Africa is the largest pharmaceutical market in Africa, with a well-established wine and distillery industry, active chemical processing and strong trade links with India. Its winelands around the Western Cape make it a natural fit for sparkler-style clarification.
South African pharma plants around Johannesburg and Cape Town use the press to clarify liquid medicines, syrups and injectables to a bright, clear finish.
The Western Cape winelands and beverage producers use sparkler-type filtration for polishing wine, juice and spirits to a crystal-clear result.
Chemical processors filter solvents, acids and intermediates with corrosion-resistant MOC options for aggressive media.
Sea-worthy export packing, FOB/CIF coordination and material certificates with a documented inspection record accompany every unit shipped to South Africa — supporting your qualification and vendor-audit needs.
The Sparkler Filter Press is a precision batch-filtration system built around a center-feed mechanism and a series of horizontal filter plates that distribute slurry evenly across the stack. Liquid is pumped in, solids are captured on the media, and a bright, particle-free filtrate is delivered — an efficient, portable and easy-to-operate solution for liquid–solid separation.
Widely used across pharmaceutical, cosmetic, beverage and chemical production, it is valued for leak-proof, high-capacity filtration in a compact, mobile footprint. Movable castor-wheel units, quick assembly and a multi-layered plate configuration make it a practical workhorse for small to medium batch processes.
A central feed distributes slurry uniformly across every horizontal plate, giving even cake build-up and consistent, high-clarity filtrate across the full stack.
Removes impurities down to micron level for precise clarification, making it ideal for industries where filtrate brightness and purity are critical.
Movable units on castor wheels, quick assembly/disassembly and a small footprint make it easy to deploy in space-constrained plants and move between lines.
Designed for leak-proof, high-capacity operation under moderate pressure, with a drain-valve option for complete drainage after filtration.
