Description

The unit is mounted on a stainless steel, floor standing frame onto which the filter, feed pump and pipework are attached. A stainless steel drip tray is also included.

Four grades of filter media are supplied suitable for: pre-coat filter-aid, coarse clarifying,  polishing and sterilisation. The small stainless steel plate pack allows ease of handling. Making teaching demonstrations more convenient.

The filter pack between the end castings is made up of one end and three intermediate thick  turbid frames and one end and three intermediate filter plates. The filter will take a dressing of 7 x 200mm x 200mm filter sheets giving a nominal filtering surface area of 0.22m² and a nominal solids holding capacity of 1.5 litres.

Operation
The slurry to be filtered is connected by hose to the pump suction, and the pump is connected to a suitable electricity supply. A hose fitted to the filter outlet takes the clear filtrate to a suitable receiving vessel. The plate pack has been designed to allow washing of the filter cake when filtering is complete. A pressure gauge situated at the filter inlet is used to monitor the filtering process.

Feed/Circulating Pump
Centrifugal pump of all stainless steel construction with polished internals.

Maximum flow rate: 18.0 l/min

Maximum head: 2.0 bar

Motor: 0.25kW @ 2,800rpm
