Compact filtration device for laboratory and field use
Achieve precise filtration with minimal sample sizes for rapid analysis or material recovery, improving process design and compliance testing in diverse production and research settings.
Analyzes Filtration Properties of Suspensions
The BoFilTest by BOKELA is a versatile, portable filtration device designed for both laboratory and field use. Specializing in the quick and reproducible analysis of filtration data, it effectively determines filtration properties of suspensions, making it indispensable in industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, and mineral processing. With a compact filtration area of 20 cm² and the ability to handle pressures up to 11 bar, it caters to small sample testing, crucial for process design and regulatory compliance.
Its stainless steel construction ensures durability and resistance to corrosion, while the quick-release lids facilitate easy sample handling and reduce downtime. The device operates without the need for a power supply in its basic version, enhancing its portability and ease of use in various settings. Numerous filtration parameters—including cake height, pressure differentials, and media resistance—are easily assessed, providing valuable insights for process optimization.
BOKELA offers additional features such as electronic data recording and software for comprehensive analysis, along with options for tempering and diverse filter media compatibility. Compliant with VDI guideline 2762, the BoFilTest is an essential tool for achieving precise solid-liquid separation, aiding in the production of alumina powder, iron concentrates, pharmaceuticals, and more.
