John Ridgill - Nicobrand Limited
The filter press was acquired to remove liquid from a resin/water system in a mixing vessel. The press was able to remove up to 85% of the liquid leaving the damp resin, which became much easier to vacuum dry. The filter press was easy to install, run and qualify.
Peter Lee
We were looking for a small-enclosed filter press to improve containment and yield of our product. After contacting Latham engineering, they were very pro-active and sourced a unit that they had originally supplied to another customer, which was no longer required. Their efforts to persuade the existing owner to release the press early, were appreciated by us and it was only a few weeks later that Latham engineering were helping us to install and commission the filter press on our product line
