Filtration Services Limited products

Filtration Services offer bespoke manufacture and design to meet both your site specific requirements and the exacting standards of today`s industry. Our Rotavac rotary drum vacuum filter (RDVF) is particularly suited for applications where large amounts of liquids and solids need to be separated continuously and with minimal operator input. The Rotavac is available in a variety of sizes, from 0.8m² up to 60m² filtration area, and in a range of solids discharge configurations. Rotary drum vacuum filters operate continuously with the solids and liquid being discharged at steady, predictable rates. The units require little or no manual intervention, being simple to operate and maintain. Contact us now for more details and your individual solution.

The Rotavac Lab is our lab scale rotary drum vacuum filter. The Rotavac Lab scale filter is generally used for product evaluation tests or as a preliminary step towards pilot scale and full-scale equipment trials. The unit is a fully functional and representative lab scale rotary drum vacuum filter and filtration system.

The Rotavac One is our complete, compact pilot scale filter station. The Rotavac One comprises of: 1.3m² skid mounted rotary drum vacuum filter (RDVF). Filtrate receiver, Filtrate pump, Vacuum pump, Blower (scraper discharge version only), Local control panel. With a small 2m x 1m footprint, the unit is easy to install and operate. The filter is ideal for small volume applications, process validation pilot-scale trials.

Possibly one of the simplest filtration units used in industry today, the tipping pan filter is ideal for batch processing rapid-settling, fast-filtering crystalline suspensions. The tipping pan filter is ideal for small batch applications where dedicated equipment and batch integrity is essential.

Similar in general operation to the rotary drum vacuum filter, the rotary table vacuum filter (RTVF) is particularly suited to rapid-settling, fast-filtering crystalline suspensions. Rotary table vacuum filters are continuous filtration units and able to handle large flow rates. The orientation of the rotary table enables a thick filter cake to form on the surface. As the table rotates, the filter cake is cut from the table surface using a specially designed auger. A small, residual heel of solids is retained on the filter which helps to protect the filter medium.

AKAS The Automatic Knife Advance System developed by us, optimises the use of precoat filter media on precoat filters. For all precoat knife discharge rotary drum vacuum filters (RDVFs) it is important that the knife advance system operates accurately and steadily so that the optimum usage of precoat material on the precoat filter can be attained.
