Filter Plate Repair

The filtering process within a chemical plant is tough and dirty. It’s important to upkeep maintenance on filter plates and components to avoid leaking. This includes cleaning as well as repairing or replacing when failures are identified.

There are many benefits to repairing filter plates rather than replacing.

  • Repairing has a short turnaround, especially compared to purchasing new from international supplier
  • Lower cost compared to replacing
  • Customizations can be made at the time of repair to account for design faults
  • Environmentally friendly
