Bombay Pharma Equipments manufactures and supplies the Sparkler Filter Press — also known as the Horizontal Plate Filter Press — for manufacturers to the USA. Center-feed, horizontal-plate batch filtration — portable, easy to operate and engineered for crystal-clear filtrate.
The United States is the world's largest pharmaceutical market, and roughly 40% of the generic medicines dispensed in America are linked to Indian manufacturing. That supply chain runs on dependable, well-documented process equipment — exactly what US pharma, fine-chemical, nutraceutical and beverage producers expect from an import partner.
From injectable and oral-liquid lines in New Jersey and North Carolina to the API and biologics clusters in Puerto Rico, the zero-residue design protects high-value APIs and reduces batch loss on FDA-regulated products.
US specialty-chemical, resin and coating makers use the press for polish filtration of solvents, acids and reactive intermediates, with Hastelloy and PTFE-lined options for aggressive media.
American craft distilleries, wineries and edible-oil processors rely on sparkler-style clarification for bright, sediment-free liquids without diatomaceous-earth waste and product carry-over.
Sea-worthy export packing, FOB/CIF coordination and material certificates with a documented inspection record accompany every unit shipped to United States — 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.
