Star Filters

Star Filters is the world leader in Waste Water Plate and Frame Filter Presses and was founded in 1904. The Hilliard Corporation of Elmira, New York, founded in 1905, purchased Star Systems in 1986, and has now incorporated the Star products into the Elmira manufacturing facility.

Star Plate Frame Filter Presses are designed and built to provide years of dependable service. Sturdily built with a rugged carbon steel stand coated in durable epoxy paint, standard heads, plates, frames and their components are fabricated from 304 stainless steel. Heavily reinforced for maximum life, the precision-machined plates, frames and heads warrant a tight seal and near-zero leakage without gaskets. Star Filter Presses can be fabricated in 316 and 316L stainless steel, as well as other special alloys upon request.

The Star Oil Treatment System (OTS) reduces oil replacement and disposal costs. The OTS actually improves the condition of the oil with each daily treatment, consistently providing a superior quality end product.

Applications: Food and beverage processing; mining and metalworking; chemical and petrochemical processing; pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, biotech processing.
