BHS - Rotary Pressure Filter

The BHS Rotary Pressure Filter is a continuously operating unit for pressure filtration, cake washing and drying of slurries up to 50% solids.' Filtration is conducted via pressure of up to 6 bar. Positive displacement washing, reflux or counter-current washing follows filtration. Multiple washing steps as well as solvent exchanges, steaming and extraction can also be accomplished. Finally, the cake is dried by blowing hot or...

BHS - Model AP - Autopress Filter

The BHS Autopress technology is a batch pressure filter operating similarly to a membrane filter press with the improved benefits of flow in the forward and reverse directions, no bypass of solids or liquids, complete containment and automatic cake discharge from a pressurized enclosure.

BHS - Continuous-Indexing Vacuum Belt Filter

The BHS Continuous-Indexing Vacuum Belt Filter provides for vacuum filtration, cake washing, pressing and drying of high solids slurries. The technology is based upon fixed vacuum trays, continuously feeding slurry system and indexing or step-wise movement of the filter media. In practical terms, the operational features of the Belt Filter can be viewed as a series of Buchner funnels.

BHS - Model PF - Pressure Plate Filter

The BHS Pressure Plate Filter provides for thin-cake batch filtration, cake washing, drying, reslurry and automatic cake discharge as well as heel filtration in a pressure vessel. Cake can be discharged as dry cake, wet cake or a concentrated slurry. Units are available from 0.35 m² to full production models. Pressure Plate Filters are installed for clarification and recovery applications from liquids with low solids content ranging from 5%...

BHS - Candle Filter

The BHS Candle Filter provides for thin-cake batch pressure filtration, cake washing, drying, reslurry and automatic cake discharge as well as heel filtration in a pressure vessel. Cake can be discharged as a dry cake, wet cake or a concentrated slurry. Units are available from 0.17 m² up to over 200 m² of filter area per vessel. Candle Filters are installed for clarification and recovery applications from liquids with low solids...

BHS - Turnkey Engineered Packages

BHS delivers engineered packages for the BHS process filtration solutions. In the “front-end” phase of a project, BHS identifies the filtration technology via lab and pilot plant studies. We scale-up and engineer the complete system including the feed pumps, tanks and transfer pumps, vacuum pumps, compressors, valves and instruments for a completely piped and wired skid with PLC controls. Solids handling with dosing, conveyors, storage and...

BHS - Rubber Belt Filter

The BHS Rubber Belt Filter is a continuously operating filter for vacuum filtration, cake washing and drying of high solids slurries. The technology is based upon a filter cloth supported by a drainage belt made of rubber, EPDM and other synthetic materials. Individual filtrate tubes separate the filtrates into specific receivers for recovering of mother liquor, wash filtrates, counter-current washing and drying gas. The drainage belt travels on...

BHS - Model P01 - Pilot Test Filter

Active Filter Area: 0.17 m². Dimensions (LxWxH): 6ft x 4.5ft x 6.5 ft.Maximum Operating Pressure: 6 barg (87psi). Material of Construction: Stainless Steel.
