About Pfeffer Filtertechnik
Pfeffer Filtertechnik is a filtration specialist based in Gingen an der Fils (Baden-Württemberg), specialised in water treatment and solid/liquid separation. The sole proprietorship, founded in 1988, develops customised concepts for filtration and water treatment following an in-depth application and problem analysis. The product range includes automatic backwashing disc filters, self-cleaning mesh filters, separator skid systems, endless belt filters, ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis, ion exchange systems and UV disinfection. The services range from consulting on new designs, conversions, optimisation and modernisation of plants, through project engineering, product selection and implementation, to commissioning, installation and after-sales support; test systems can be loaned out. Components from international manufacturers such as AZUD, VAF and BIO-UV are used, with systems made among other things from stainless steel 316L and duplex stainless steel. Customers include companies from the drinking water and food industries, wastewater treatment, the plastics and paper industries, car washes, the mining industry, power plants, public pools, hotels, agriculture, aquaculture and the GrowTech sector.
