Free-Flow (Wide Gap) Plates are used for liquids containing solids, particles, fibers or viscous material. Their special feature is the constant flow gap width between the individual plates and the course corrugation of the actual plates. The gap between the plates can be up to 12 mm and based on selection their design pressure up to 200 PSI.
