Bokela - Model BoVac -Vacuum Pan Filter

Pan filters with their horizontally arranged filter surface are particularly suited for filter cake washing. Therefore, they are preferably used for the filtration and washing of coarse-grained and rapidly sedimenting suspensions.

The BoVac Pan filters define a new standard for this rotary filter type. Many special features and innovations make our filter series unique, such as the "Forced Feeding" system for even slurry distribution or the "Quick Drainage Cell" design for a particularly sharp separation of the filtrate streams. The innovative design is the reason for the high performance, the reliable operation and the easy maintenance.

BoVac Pan filters are available with different pan diameters and filter areas from 16 m² to 68 m².

BoVac Pan filters have a hydraulically optimized design with many special features and innovations:

• even, homogeneous filter cake over the entire pan surface due to a special "forced feeding" system
• cake washing system for up to 3-stage countercurrent washing
• steaming zone with condensate wash
• sophisticated steam hood for efficient dewatering
• complete cake removal even at higher speeds due to well-dimensioned and height-adjustable discharge screw
• effective heel removal by multi-stage slurrying
• automatic operation through well-proven control philosophy
• high availability of over 95 %
• innovations like
  • filter cells with "Quick Drainage Cell" design for accelerated emptying of the cells and particularly sharp separation of the various filtrate streams
  • BOKELA FrameTrak – an innovative method of filter cloth fixation
    BOKELA FrameTrak makes it possible to quickly and easily fix and replace the filter cloth for each cell separately. BOKELA FrameTrak drastically reduces the risk of injury to operating personnel as well as the risk of cloth damage.
