Beyond faster changeovers, SnapFit reduces the physical strain and injury risk associated with manually fitting and removing bolted components — a meaningful safety and labor-cost benefit for plants doing frequent cloth or membrane servicing.

No — SnapFit is designed to maintain a firm, secure hold under operating pressure, preventing slipping or detachment of cloths and membranes during the filtration cycle, while removing the need for manual tool-based fastening.

SnapFit is compatible with all standard JVK filter plates and can also be retrofitted to existing installations, so plants running older JVK presses don't need to replace their plates to adopt the system.

SnapFit is designed for four main applications: mounting membranes, attaching filter cloths, fixing distributor rings, and securing support rings on JVK filter plates.

Yes. JVK Filtration Systems GmbH holds a granted patent covering the filter plate and attachment-part assembly underlying the SnapFit system, reflecting JVK's ongoing investment in filter press engineering since the company's founding in 1962.

SnapFit® is a tool-free fastening system developed by JVK Filtration Systems GmbH for attaching filter cloths, membranes, support rings, and distributor rings to filter plates. Instead of screws or bolts, SnapFit components lock into place with a simple push, letting technicians install or remove these parts by hand.
