Vacuum Filter Test Kit

SHARE

In a rotary vacuum drum filter, a porous media or filter cloth is supported by the cylindrical drum surface and passes through the sludge vat while the partially submerged drum rotates under applied vacuum (negative pressure). The slurry is sucked from the vat with the liquid passing through the media and the solids retained on the media. The liquid is collected through a series of internal piping and valve arrangement, while the dewatered solids are scraped off the surface of the media.
