Model T -Tilting Filter
Because of its construction, the Tilting or model ‘T’ filter is pre-eminently suited to treating the filter cake after filtration by washing, drying or extraction. Filtration takes place with the filter tank in a vertical position and the filter leaves in a horizontal position. Cleaning or cake removal takes place with the filter tank in a horizontal position, while the leaves are in a vertical position. The filter is equipped with either a special recirculation system or “heel” filter elements, ensuring that no unfiltered liquids stay in the filter. Dry cake removal (scrapers or vibrator system) and wet cake removal (spray nozzles either static or oscillating) are both options.
Model ‘T’ filters are available with a maximum filtering surface of 30 m’. The Centrifilter is an alternative to the model ‘T’ filter. The Centrifilter leaves are cleaned by a centrifugal motion of 100 to 300 rpm. Both dry and wet cake can be removed. Wet cake removal takes place in liquid by means ok a sluice header or a small back pressure, or by a combination of the two. The filter is available with both flat and slightly conical plates. As with the model ‘T’, the “heel” filter leaves or a system of recirculation offer a solution for filtration of the total filter volume.
