Disc filter for drying and filtering fine solids
In mineral and ore processing, managing large quantities of fine particulate suspensions can be challenging. The need for efficient filtration with low residual moisture is critical for improving product handling and reducing drying costs.
Achieves low residual moisture and high throughput
The BoHiBar Disc filter by BOKELA is a high-performance continuous pressure filtration system designed to handle difficult-to-filter products with high specific throughputs. It operates within a pressure vessel using differential pressures of up to 6 bar (g), achieving low residual moisture and high solids throughput, essential for ore, coal, and mineral processing. The innovative system can incorporate steam pressure filtration, where a steam hood covers part of the filter surface, significantly reducing the filter cake’s moisture content compared to traditional methods. Each disc filter unit can handle filter areas up to 168 m², and the system includes features like fully automated operation, advanced wear protection components, and ease of maintenance.
Benefits
- Minimal footprint for space efficiency
- Significantly low residual moisture
- High solids throughput, even with fine suspensions
- Cost savings by reducing thermal drying needs
- Reusability of filtered residues, enhancing product handling and transport
