For over 80 years, ErtelAlsop has been pro actively solving the depth filtration problems of industry. We originated and patented the Pak Lenticular Cartridge concept. We created the BioClean Sanitary Filter Plate Assembly to accommodate the stringent cleaning standards of the pharmaceutical industry. We designed the 1S PharmaScale Filter at the request of a customer who needed to duplicate results at the one-inch square level. Most recently, we took the traditional plate and frame concept and literally turned it on its ear. The Diamond Series line of Plate and Frame Filter Presses combines weld-free technology for the ultimate in cleanliness with a diamond shape, which allows for complete drainage and venting. Constant innovation has positioned us at the forefront of the industry.
