FILTRATION

I filtri sottovuoto a nastro sono perfetti

HORIZONTAL VACUUM FILTERS

Horizontal vacuum filters are one of the most efficient systems for solid-liquid separation.

Specifically, these filters are designed and built to achieve very high performance in the field of filtration of slurries with a high solid content.

Horizontal vacuum filters are extremely flexible and, among other things, are characterized by a high filtration rate.

TECNIPLANT offers two types of horizontal vacuum filter:

  1. Belt filters
  2. Cloth filters


Belt filters have high filtration capacities and are equipped with a rubber belt, making them particularly suitable for large filtration surfaces.

Cloth filters are ideal for drying certain products that are often thixotropic.

THE DISTINGUISHING FEATURES OF HORIZONTAL VACUUM FILTERS

High functional flexibility is certainly one of the main distinguishing features of horizontal vacuum filters.

The dual belt and cloth versions of the horizontal vacuum filters make them compatible with many types of plant.

 

Here are additional advantages featured in this filtration system:

  • Easy, low-cost maintenance
  • High-efficiency washing
  • Slurry separation
  • The thickness of the cake, vacuum intensity and belt speed are independent and variable to obtain the optimal result
  • The filters can be equipped with a hood
  • Option of steam drying (last stage)
  • Available in a wide range of sizes from 0.1 m2 (pilot unit) up to 150 m2

THE APPLICATION MARKETS FOR HORIZONTAL VACUUM FILTERS

With their functional flexibility and high filtration speed, horizontal vacuum filters can be used in various application markets.

Below are the main areas of application:

  • Gypsum dewatering systems (FGD and WFGD)
  • Sludge from the production of metal
  • Sludge from aluminium foundries
  • Dehydration of minerals
  • Production of chemical products
  • Tartaric Acid, Citric Acid
