The NOVOX® is a high precision stainless steel plate & frame filter for depth filtration, designed and manufactured for heavy duty use – 24/7.
The unique design of the NOVOX® allows for efficient handling.
High precision construction of the plate & frame assembly, and the hydraulic closing mechanism, combined with high-performance FILTROX filter sheets, minimize drip-loss.
Plate and frame filters provide large filter 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 NOVOX® series filters. Its high filtration performance, top manufacturing quality and comprehensive set of certificates meet the high standards of sensitive applications such as beverage, biotech or pharmaceutical industries. The NOVOX® can successfully operate in processes with high filter cakes as well as precoat filtration.
Operating conditions (filter)
| NOVOX® | Noryl® elements | Stainless elements |
| Max operating temperature | 95°C | 110°C |
| Max pressure | 5 bar | 8 bar |
| Max differential pressure (inlet-outlet) | 5 bar | 6 bar |
Limiting factor for the delta p of a sheet filtration is the sheet grade and the application.
