FILTRATION

KNIFE DISCHARGE FILTERS

The knife discharge filters are the best solution when there is a suspension with the presence of large amounts of suspended solids.

Knife discharge filters typically consist of the following elements:

rotary drum
vacuum distribution system
tank
agitator
cake discharge device

Their main feature is the presence of a knife adhering to the rotary drum, which allows the waste cake to be detached from the filter surface.

During the separation process, the product is uniformly distributed over the entire surface of the filter medium and is dried using the vacuum, which allows the separation of solids and liquids.

THE DISTINGUISHING FEATURES OF KNIFE DISCHARGE FILTERS

The main distinguishing feature of the knife discharge filters is the presence of a fixed knife adhering to the rotary drum which allows the waste cake to be detached from the filter surface.
