What Filtrex Industries Private Limited does

Filtrex Industries Private Limited is a privately held Indian industrial filtration equipment manufacturer headquartered and operating from a manufacturing facility in TTC Industrial Area, Rabale, Navi Mumbai. Founded in 2016 (succeeding Riso Engineering), the company specializes in pressure leaf filtration systems — primarily Vertical Pressure Leaf Filters (VPLF), Horizontal Pressure Leaf Filters (HPLF), Pulse Jet Candle Filters, and Bag Polishing Filters — built around multi-layer stainless steel wire mesh (AISI 316L, Dutch Weave) construction with automated riveting and hydraulic actuation. The product range covers filtration areas from 0.3 sq m (bag polishing) to 150 sq m (HPLF), with specialized variants for molten sulphur, catalyst, biodiesel, and crop-specific edible oil applications.

The company serves enterprise industrial buyers primarily in edible oil and vegetable oil refineries (including FAL/Ferrero Allied, KSE Limited, MAP Premium Edible Oil, AAK Kamani, Gujarat Amjuba Export, Kutch, Transworld), and secondarily in chemical, petrochemical, fertilizer, pharmaceutical, biodiesel, paint, and food & beverage segments. Revenue is generated through direct sale of capital filtration equipment, aftermarket spare parts (spare leaf sets, filtration mesh, operational spares), and leaf remeshing/repair services. The company also offers a free Trial VPLF system for pre-purchase performance validation.

Go-to-market is entirely direct — enterprise field sales initiated via website inquiries, phone, WhatsApp, and email ([email protected]) — with no distributor or channel partner network identified. The company holds ISO 9001:2015, ZED, and Lean Manufacturing certifications, and claims international market reach through its Navi Mumbai facility, with at least one documented deployment in Nigeria. Leadership consists of two Executive Directors: Sandeep Bandal (MBA, Manchester Business School) and Mahesh Takwale (MBA, United Business Institutes, Belgium). The company has no disclosed external funding and operates with a headcount of approximately 5 employees.

Products and services

• Vertical Pressure Leaf Filter (VPLF) High-quality vertical leaf filtration system producing high filtrate clarity after clarification runs and suitable for all kinds of filter aids. Fluid flows through filter medium covering both sides of stainless steel filter leaves; collected solids remain as filter cake, dried through steam or air, then dropped via vibrator activation. No rotating parts, minimizing maintenance. Suitable for batch and continuous filtration processes. Models range from 2 sq m to 100 sq m filtration area.
• Horizontal Pressure Leaf Filter (HPLF) Horizontal leaf filter designed to handle larger filtration capacities, with a hydraulic system that moves filter leaf housing outside the filter tank for easy maintenance, bonnet closure operated hydraulically, and a pneumatic vibrator for complete cake discharge. Designed for applications where filter cake requires further processing. Models range from 5 sq m to 150 sq m filtration area.
• Pulse Jet Candle Filter Filtration system with candle-shaped filter elements consisting of equal-diameter pipes covered by seamless filter hose (Polypropylene, Polyester, or Nylon), vertically arranged in a pressure vessel. Supports filtration and cake formation under pressure, wet or dry cake discharge via blow-back, and dual-filter installation for continuous operation. Hermetically sealed system suited for toxic product filtration. Available in 2 to 45 sq m.
• Bag Polishing Filter Simple, maintenance-free design where liquid flows from the top of the housing and is distributed equally among filter bags. Dirt is trapped inside bags; vessel never requires cleaning. Features small flow resistance, acid and alkali resistance, corrosion resistance, and easy cleaning. Filter bags available in Nylon, Polypropylene, Polyester, Cotton, Teflon-coated, or wire mesh. Sizes from 0.3 sq m to 3 sq m.
