Chemical filter dryer for fine chemical production
In the fine chemical production industry, ensuring efficient separation and drying processes is essential to maintain product quality and consistency. Challenges such as complex mixtures, high impurity levels, and stringent safety and regulatory requirements necessitate advanced filtration and drying solutions.
Achieve efficient filtration and drying
The Comber Pressofiltro® series PF 2000 – PF 16000 by HEINKEL is a chemical design Nutsche filter dryer, ideal for both monoproduction and multipurpose facilities. These units offer versatile functionalities including agitated Nutsche filtration, suction filtration, and drying. With options for closed units with manhole access or openable filter bases, they feature multilayer and conventional filter materials. Efficient emptying is accomplished through narrow agitator-to-wall/bottom clearances and a unique agitator blade design. The shaft seal is easily accessible for maintenance through an external stuffing box. Constructed from various materials, including stainless steel, Hastelloy C 22, Alloy 59, and Titanium, it adheres to rigorous standards outlined in the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 2014/68/EU and ASME pressure vessel code. Suitable for operations in environments classified under EU-Type Examination Certificate INERIS 2014/34/EU or UL Class 1, Division 1 or 2, Groups C&D environments, this unit supports a filter area ranging from 2.0 to 16 m² and slurry volumes of 2,000 – 40,000 liters, with operating temperatures from -10 to 150°C and pressures from -1 to +4 barg.
