Rotary Drum Precoat Filters

 

 

Rotary drum precoat filters are used to polish liquid solutions with trace amounts of suspended solids. They are similar in appearance to rotary drum filters, but the construction is very different. The drum is precoated with a medium of known permeability and particle size. The contaminated feed is delivered to the outside of the drum and scraped off on the opposite side. On a precoat filter, the scraper blade moves slowly toward the drum, removing the layer of contaminants along with a thin layer of the precoat material, creating a fresh layer of precoat surface for the next pass. Rotary drum precoat filters have a stationary blade.
