Crossflow filtration with sieve filter for difficult suspensions
In industrial processes, separating solids from challenging suspensions can be a complex task, especially under high viscosity or concentrated conditions. Traditional filtration methods often fall short, leading to inefficiencies and product losses.
Efficiently classify and recover solids from suspensions
The BoCross MicroScreen filter, developed by BOKELA, is designed to provide continuous process solutions for classifying suspensions and recovering solids under difficult conditions. This technology uses dynamic crossflow filtration with backwashable asymmetric metallic filter media. It allows for both dynamic sieve filtration and dynamic precoat filtration, making it highly versatile. The system handles high viscosity and highly concentrated suspensions efficiently, producing particle-free filtrates with minimal product loss. Filter sizes range from 0.1 m² to 12 m², with operating pressures up to 6 bar and temperatures up to 100 °C. Applications include plastic intermediates, pigments, fillers, dyes, and catalyst processing.
