Pan filter for coarse-grained suspension filtration
In industries like alumina, iron ore, and potash production, traditional filtration methods often struggle with coarse-grained and rapidly sedimenting suspensions. These challenges result in inefficient cake washing, high residual moisture, and extensive maintenance requirements.
Optimize filtration with advanced cake washing
The BoVac Pan filter by BOKELA is a horizontal vacuum filtration system designed for the effective filtration and washing of coarse-grained, rapidly sedimenting suspensions. Its unique ‘Forced Feeding’ system ensures even slurry distribution across the filter surface, while the ‘Quick Drainage Cell’ design allows for sharp separation of filtrate streams. With filter areas ranging from 16 m² to 68 m², these filters are available in various pan diameters. They feature an advanced cake washing system capable of up to 3-stage countercurrent washing, providing clean solids with minimal wash liquid usage. Equipped with a height-adjustable discharge screw and a sophisticated steam hood, this filter offers reliable operation with easy maintenance. The BoVac Pan filter sets the standard for high throughput and low residual moisture, ensuring high availability and automatic operation.
Benefits
- High throughput with minimal pressure loss
