Cake Release Consider how the cake is discharged from the filter. A dry cake may release differently from a sticky or slimy cake. Every type of cloth has different cake release characteristics. Some cakes may need to be released with help from a scraper blade. If a scraper blade is used to release the cake,… Read more »

As the Rotary Drum Vacuum Filter (RDVF) emerges from the slurry tank, spray bars wash the cake, allowing air, water, and the remaining liquor to travel through the drum section into piping, through the valve, and into a vacuum receiver. As the Rotary Drum Vacuum Filter begins to rotate facing the ceiling, it enters the… Read more »

While the slurry tank is on one side of the filter’s base, discharge chutes sit on the other side of the base, capturing dried solids before the sector reenters slurry in this continuous filtration process. To discharge, most disc vacuum filters use a low pressure burst of air to inflate the sector’s cloth bag and… Read more »

Most notable valve manufacturers admit their moving parts are suitable for a finite number of cycles. But, what does that parameter mean in terms of everyday usage? Let us assume your dust collector is a crucial piece of the ventilation system of your facility working 24/7/365. Those valves are cycling 100,000 times a year or… Read more »

How do Pressure Leaf Filters Operate? A filter cycle begins with the vessel sealing in the shaft and its filter leafs. Then, precoat is introduced. A precoat tank containing filtrate and filter aid (diatomaceous earth, perlite, etc.) is agitated for around 10 minutes. Then, the mix fills the vessel, vents all the air, and pressurizes….

What is the Goal of the Process? When deciding on the right filtration equipment, the most critical consideration is the production rate. For example, how many tons per hour must be produced to meet the project’s goals? Also, consider the goals of the process. Does the cake need to be washed? If so, how clean… Read more »

A new filter belt should always be broken in at low speeds for about 1 – 2 hours before being loaded with sludge. This ensures that the new belt will track properly into position. Following this belt conditioning procedure will help prevent wrinkles on a newly installed belt. The machine should be monitored closely during… Read more »

Adjusting the Pulse Sequence The pulsing sequence can play an important part in minimizing the re-entrainment of material in your pulse-jet dust collector. Pulsing one row adjacent to another row (sequential order) can cause the fine, submicron material to migrate to the cleaned row. Staggering the order of rows to be pulsed puts distance between… Read more »
