Customer Case: Polish Vegetable Oil Plant Introduces BMQ8/450-25 Plate and Frame Filter Press

Customer Background

The customer is a small to medium-sized vegetable oil processing enterprise in Poland, primarily engaged in the production and sales of cold-pressed oils such as flaxseed oil and rapeseed oil. As market demand grew, their original filtration equipment became inefficient and required frequent maintenance, failing to meet the daily processing requirement of 400 liters of crude oil.

Customer Requirements

• Material to be processed: Flaxseed crude oil

• Filtration temperature: 60℃

• Daily processing capacity: 400L/h × 10 hours

• Equipment requirements: Simple operation, easy maintenance, suitable for small to medium-scale production

• Procurement method: The customer reviewed filter press images and parameters, then independently selected the BMQ8/450-25 model
