Tip #1 – Rubber Drainage Belt Curbing is Stretched-out and Cracking If your rubber drainage belt curbing is stretched out, this allows the slurry to slide off the sides of the belt. Our corrugated curb expands around pulleys, preventing wear damage. We can hot vulcanize onsite to maximize its reliability. Tip #2 – Cloth Belt… Read more »

Situation 1 – Chemical Attack If your fabric filter bags have deteriorated down the entire length of the bag, then the failure is likely due to an exposure of acid or alkaline outside of what your filter media can withstand. Your gas/ dust pH is among the variables considered to determine the best filter media… Read more »

There are three types of baghouse, categorized by their discharge method, described below. All three operate under the same principle, pull vacuum through a filter media. The filter media will accumulate solid particles until a dust cake forms. Once a dust cake has formed, given the proper media and conditions, the discharged air or gas… Read more »

Troubleshooting Tips for Your Rotary Drum Vacuum Filter Instance 1 – Cloth Snags and Tears on Metal Scraper Blades The scraper blade is a critical wear component in Rotary Drum Vacuum Filters (RDVFs). Traditional metal scraper blades tend to sharpen as they wear, increasing the risk of damaging industrial filter media.  To address this challenge,… Read more »

Frame Components Stationary Head- The side of the frame without the closure system has a head that aligns with the filter pack. It is also known as the fixed head. It has a feed hole for the slurry to enter and drain hole for filtrate to exit. Follower Head- The hydraulic ram pushes the follower… Read more »

The Vessel operates under pressures between 6-10 bar. If the filter is designed for polishing its bottom is conical to assist in cake discharge. Thickener filters usually have a flatter bottom. Both configurations have are fed from the bottom to prevent solids from settling, and have a safety valve for overflow at the top. All… Read more »

Chemical Conditioning – Sludge is blended with polyelectrolyte or polymer feed in a conditioning tank. This allows solid particles to clump into agglomerate or flocs. The amount of polymer feed is a critical component to cakes with consistent thickness and moisture content. Gravity Drainage – Sludge is fed onto the main filter belt, a monofilament… Read more »
