Is the BHS rotary pressure filter the same technology as the FEST filter?
Yes. The FEST rotary pressure filter was invented in the 1950’s by Dr. Fest who was employed by BHS in Sonthofen, Germany, which is our worldwide headquarters. There are over 1000 rotary pressure units in operation producing 1-2 Kg/hour to over 100 tons / hour of dry cake. The “FEST” name was dropped from the product name in 2005. BHS retains all of the patents and rights from the original design through the subsequent improvements over the past 50 years. Many of our earlier clients still refer to the units as the FEST filter.
