Continuous-Indexing Vacuum Filter as Replacement for Filter Presses

From BHS-Filtration Inc.
 

 

Solid-liquid separation can be accomplished by pressure or vacuum filtration in a batch or continuous mode. Generally, following filtration, the cake must be washed and subsequently dried. The choice of technology depends upon a wide range of parameters of the solids (i.e. crystal size and distribution, type and shape), liquids (type, temperature, and viscosity) and the process itself. This article discusses the evaluation and installation of the BHS Continuous-Indexing Vacuum Belt Filter (CI-VBF) as a replacement for manually operated filter presses.
