Patent-pending Cleanova OMNI™ transforms filter press performance at the source –  reducing downtime, extending cloth life, and simplifying maintenance across press platforms

Cleanova, a global leader in advanced filtration solutions, today announced the launch of Cleanova OMNI™, a patent-pending feed interface system engineered to address one of the most critical and often overlooked sources of inefficiency in filter press operations: the point where slurry enters the press.

Designed for universal compatibility across a wide range of filter press configurations, plate designs, and sizes, OMNI™ establishes a more durable, consistent, and high-performing foundation for filtration — enabling operators to improve reliability without requiring major equipment changes.

Improving performance at the source

In many filter press operations, performance challenges such as premature cloth failure, leakage, and inconsistent filtration results can be traced back to the feed interface — where high-velocity slurry, abrasion, and sealing limitations place significant stress on the system.

“Filter cloth performance has traditionally been treated as a downstream maintenance issue, but in reality, the root cause often lies upstream at the feed interface,” said Terry Morley, Technical Director for Liquid Filtration at Cleanova. “With OMNI™, we’ve re-engineered that critical connection point to create a more stable and durable foundation for filtration performance — helping operators move from reactive maintenance to more controlled, predictable operation.”

By addressing performance at the source, OMNI™ improves filtration stability, extends cloth life, and reduces unplanned downtime in demanding operating environments.

Engineered for universal compatibility

Unlike conventional feed interface designs that are often limited to specific OEM equipment, Cleanova OMNI™ has been developed as a universally adaptable solution. The system can be deployed across a broad range of plate sizes and is compatible with sidebar, overhead beam, and quad press configurations.

This universal approach allows operators to standardize performance across assets, reduce variability, and simplify maintenance practices — without requiring major modifications to existing equipment.

Simplifying maintenance and cloth replacement

OMNI™ enables the use of single-panel filter cloths, eliminating the need to pull cloths through the feed opening during installation.

This design allows cloth replacement without removing filter plates, significantly reducing maintenance time, labor requirements, and operational disruption — particularly in high-throughput environments where uptime is critical.

“Our customers are under constant pressure to increase throughput while reducing both planned and unplanned downtime,” said Jason Wettstaedt, Senior VP of Sales, Americas & Global Marketing. “Cleanova OMNI™ delivers a practical, scalable solution that improves uptime, extends cloth life, and simplifies maintenance — all while working within existing equipment.”

Designed for demanding applications

OMNI™ is particularly well suited for industries where abrasive or high-solids slurries place significant stress on filtration systems, including:

  • Mining and mineral processing
  • Chemicals
  • Wastewater treatment
  • Battery materials
  • Other advanced process industries

A smarter foundation for filtration performance

By combining universal compatibility with engineered durability, OMNI™ represents a step-change in how filter press performance is approached — shifting the focus from reactive maintenance to engineered performance at the source.

It provides operators with a practical pathway to improve reliability, reduce downtime, and lower total cost of ownership across filtration systems.
