Larox's Ceramec filters offer top operational performance and low operating costs for the separation of solid and liquid substances. They are particularly appreciated in demanding mining applications, offering plenty of advantages: efficient dewatering and washing, competitive investment costs, low installation and operating costs, and high environmental and personnel safety protection.

Ceramec filter's discs are formed with sintered alumina sectors that have a membrane with uniform micropores creating suction through capillary action. This microporous filter medium allows only liquid to flow through. Thanks to this capillary action Ceramec filter's energy consumption for dewatering is exceptionally low. Only a small (2.2 kW) vacuum pump is needed to transfer the filtrate from the discs to the filtrate receiver. This is in stark contrast to conventional vacuum filters that have a high leakage of air through the filter cake and therefore require a large vacuum pump.

Excellent process results are achieved with Ceramec filters producing a homogenous cake dryer than other vacuum filter equipment. The unique dewatering system produces a virtually particle-free, crystal-clear filtrate, which can be reused in backwashing operations to create a closed-circuit water system.

The entire Ceramec filter design is compact and simple, with easy operation and minimal maintenance. The operating principle is based on continuous, automatic operation. This simple construction with little dependency on auxiliary equipment makes the Ceramec filter operation the most reliable of any dewatering technology.
