Mehul’s HIGH-FLOW

What is Mehul’s HIGH-FLOW?

Mehul’s HIGH-FLOW is a highly porous, inert, and lightweight filtration medium derived from expanded volcanic glass. When crushed and graded precisely, it forms a powder-like material with a unique interlocking structure—ideal for trapping fine particles while allowing clear liquid flow.

Widely used in food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and industrial processing, HIGH-FLOW Filter Aid offers a cost-effective and eco-friendly solution for both precoat and body feed filtration systems.

Properties and Benefits

Mehul HIGH-FLOW's performance benefits stem from its unique structure formed during the rapid cooling of molten volcanic lava.

  • Color: White to light gray
  • Odor: Odourless
  • Form: Finely milled, granular powder or lightweight particles
  • Porosity: Extremely high, due to its microscopic inter-particle structure
  • Composition: Primarily silicon dioxide (SiO₂), with alumina (Al₂O₃), sodium oxide, and potassium oxide
  • pH Level: Neutral to slightly alkaline
  • Density: Very low (typically 90–160 g/L, varies by grade)
  • Moisture Content: Minimal (less than 1%)
  • Thermal Stability: High (greater than 800°C)
These properties ensure that Mehul’s HighFlow performs consistently under demanding filtration conditions while maintaining purity and structural stability.
  • Provides Higher Flow Rates (hence called “HIGH-FLOW”) and increases Filtration Efficiency
  • Excellent filtration clarity across various micron ranges
  • Lightweight and highly porous, reducing filter cake weight
  • Chemically inert and non-toxic, suitable for food and pharma use
  • Thermally stable, compatible with hot fluid filtration
  • Economical – reduced dosage compared to diatomite in many cases
  • Minimized pressure drop for efficient flow rates
  • Easy disposal and environmentally safe

Mehul’s HIGH-FLOW as Precoat & Body Feed

Mehul’s High Flow can be applied both as a precoat layer and as a body feed additive:

Precoat

Body Feed

Using both precoat and body feed together provides optimal filter cake structure, extending cycle times and improving filtrate clarity.

Compatible Filter Equipment

Mehul’s HighFlow is suitable for a wide range of filtration systems, including:

  • Rotary Vacuum Drum Filters (RVDF)
  • Filter Presses
  • Vertical Tank Filters
  • Tube or Candle Filters
  • Pressure Leaf Filters
  • Horizontal Tank – Rotating Leaf Filters

Its low density and particle integrity make it easy to handle, clean, and discharge across both batch and continuous operations.
