Customized Filtration Solutions. Fully Automatic. Built to Last.
Engineered to maximize product recovery, minimize downtime, and optimize your operation without compromise.
For Every Solid-Liquid Separation Challenge
Every process is different and so is every solid-liquid separation challenge. That’s why DrM filtration systems are engineered and customized to meet your specific process requirements. From standard clarification to complex solids handling, our solutions combine advanced design with fully automated operation delivering consistent performance with minimal operator intervention.
Customized for Your Process
Tailored filter design and configurations to fit your specific separation needs, from particle retention to discharge handling.
Fully Automatic Operation
Automated filtration cycles with PLC or DCS integration minimize operator effort and ensure consistent performance.
Built to Last
Robust design, long service life, and a track record of successful installations across the most demanding industries.
Engineered for Reliability
FUNDABAC® filters are engineered for long-term reliability, using high-quality synthetic materials and premium metals to ensure consistent performance even in the most demanding operating conditions. Every component is designed to minimize wear, extend lifetime, and reduce maintenance.
The FUNDABAC® candle design ensures efficient and uniform filter cake formation — a critical factor for high-quality solid-liquid separation. By adapting to both slurry and dry cake discharge requirements, the system provides maximum flexibility while maintaining excellent filtrate clarity and optimal process performance.
The automated candle discharge system handles both slurry and dry cake removal without manual intervention. Its innovative design ensures reliable and efficient discharge, minimizing downtime, reducing operator involvement, and supporting a wide range of process requirements.

Heel volume filtration is a patented process that allows our filters to recover the residual liquid (the “heel”) that remains at the bottom of the vessel after standard filtration is complete. Instead of discarding this heel or leaving valuable product behind, the system recycles it using a smart flow design.
How it works:
From the lowest point in the vessel, the heel is pumped back via the feed pump and dispersed through a centrally located spray nozzle in the filter cover.
This creates a fine spray that is evenly distributed over the filter elements.
The heel liquid is then pushed through the existing cake using gas pressure, completing a final filtration step and increasing yield.
This method also supports efficient cake washing, where the wash liquid is sprayed in the same way. Because the liquid is evenly dispersed and pushed through the cake with minimal volume, this technique significantly reduces wash liquid consumption compared to conventional methods.
Why it matters:
Increases yield (less product loss)
Facilitates batch integrity
Reduces waste volume and environmental load
Improves cost-efficiency
