Sperry - Model Lug -Specialized Lug Style Filter Press Plates for Shellac Processing - Material Options and Chemical Resistance

The Sperry Model Lug filter press plates are a specialized type of flush plate and frame designed for applications that require frequent changes of filter media, such as the processing of shellac. These lug style plates simplify media alignment, reducing labor and enhancing operational efficiency. The pressure/temperature chart provides guidelines for filtration or wash pressures at various temperatures. Note that temperature differentials exceeding 20 degrees F during a cycle can cause thermal shock and plate failure. Additionally, the chemical composition of the slurry can impact the operating parameters of the filter plates; consult the factory for guidance on chemical resistance. Available in a variety of materials, including cast iron, stainless steel, aluminum, and high-performance polymers, these plates can be customized to meet specific application requirements. Standard materials include cast iron (with various coatings), stainless steel (304 and 316), aluminum, polypropylene, and specialized alloys like Hastelloy B and C.
