Advanced vacuum and pressure drum filters for high filtration rates
In applications requiring efficient filtration of free-filtering materials, traditional filters often fall short in terms of filtration rates and solids throughput. These challenges necessitate advanced solutions capable of higher capacity and better washing capabilities while operating under gas-tight or pressurized conditions.
Optimize filtration and throughput efficiently
The YU and PYU drum filters by ANDRITZ are designed for thin cake applications, offering superior filtration rates, solids throughput, and excellent cake washing. The unique single-cell design provides up to 10 times higher filtration capacity compared to conventional drum filters. The YU filter is constructed from various stainless steel materials and comes in a range of sizes to fit specific needs. It operates efficiently with free-filtering materials such as terephthalic acid, sodium sulfate, and other chemicals, as well as food products like winterized salad oils and starch. The high vacuum area of up to 93% ensures quick formation of thin cakes and unrestricted gas flow, contributing to ease of operation and maintenance. Whether for chemical, food, or other industrial processes, ANDRITZ’s YU and PYU filters effectively combine high performance with space savings.
