Dewaxing perfetta per la rimozione fisica della paraffina

SOLUTIONS FOR DEWAXING

MEK Dewaxing (Metil Ethyl Ketone) is a system dedicated to wax separation so it can be used in various industrial fields.

The Dewaxing filter is essentially composed of:

  • rotary drum
  • tank with horizontal flange
  • cake discharge device

The Dewaxing vacuum filter allows to physically remove the paraffin using crystallisation and filtration processes.

The Dewaxing filter uses rotation to allow the paraffin to be first crystallized through cold solvents and then discharged into the appropriate collection hopper.

The most common size for the drum filter is between 30 and 110 m2 of filter surface.

THE DISTINGUISHING FEATURES OF DEWAXING FILTERS
