The NOVOX® OD is a high precision stainless steel plate & frame filter designed and built for industrial applications. Unique design of the NOVOX® OD allows efficient handling without the need for gaskets in the filter stack – inlet/outlet tubes are formed within the stack itself, sealed by the filter sheets. This feature promotes ease-of-use benefits for the operator by eliminating the need for gasket removal or replacement.
High precision construction of the plate & frame assembly, and the hydraulic closing mechanism, combined with high-performance FILTROX filter sheets, contribute to significantly reduced driploss.
Plate and frame filters allow large filtration areas on a relatively small footprint. The filter area is separated in single plates which form stacks. Every other plate and frame has an inlet or an outlet for the filtrate. The filtration is performed parallel over the whole surface.

There is a broad field of applications for the NOVOX® OD Series filter. Industrial applications demanding both high quality filtration and documentation can benefit from the high performance set-up and certificates of the NoVOX OD i.e. pharmaceutical and/or biotech processes. The NoVOX OD filter can successfully operate in processes with high filter cakes as well as precoat filtration.
Max operating temperature = 140°C
Max pressure = 8 bar
Max differential pressure (inlet-outlet) = 6 bar
Limiting factor for the Δmaxpinlet-outlet): 6 barΔp of a sheet filtration is the sheet grade and the application.
