Product features
Our Drum Filter technology is proven and used across the globe
Our Drum Filter has high capacity, and runs very efficiently to create excellent filtrate clarity and effectively wash cakes.
The drum filter’s basic operating principle is easy. Everything happens during one revolution of the drum: with filter cake forming, cake drying, filtrate discharge and cake discharge for continuous production. The filtration area on the drum surface is divided into separate cells, connected by individual pipes to a vacuum system.
Filtrate piping can be arranged outside or inside of the drum. The drum deck, equipped with replaceable filter grids, supports the filter medium (cloth made from fabric or metal). A vacuum pump provides the necessary gas stream to accomplish dewatering. The vacuum sucks the liquor through the filter medium and forms a filter cake out of the solids, contained in the feed slurry. The drum can be operated at various speeds to control cake thickness. The time available for the various filtration steps (cake filtration, washing, air drying) can be adjusted via the filter control valve. Slurry is continuously fed into the filter vat and an adjustable overflow weir controls the liquid level.
For efficient operation of the filter, the vat is equipped with an agitator to prevent solids from settling. Cake discharge takes place on the descending side of the drum. Various kinds of discharge devices can be used.
