Vacuum drum filter for solid/liquid separation
Optimize your solid/liquid separation process with a versatile vacuum drum filter designed to handle challenging filtration, washing, and drying tasks in continuous operation.
Filters and Separates Solids from Liquids
The Krauss-Maffei vacuum drum filter TSF from ANDRITZ SEPARATION efficiently tackles solid/liquid separation challenges across various industries. This equipment excels with its continuous filtration process, utilizing submersible drum technology and a vacuum system to separate solids from liquids effectively. It’s particularly suited for applications in chemical manufacturing, mining, food processing, and wastewater treatment, producing outputs such as ABS resins, aluminum hydroxide powders, and vitamin additives.
With a filtration capacity ranging from 100 to 2,000 l/m²h and solids throughput up to 1,500 kg/m²h, this machine is engineered for high-speed, continuous operation. The Krauss-Maffei TSF integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, equipped with PLC-controlled systems for precise automation and adaptable differential pressures for each filtration zone. Energy consumption is minimized through variable operation pressures, and it offers reduced operating costs due to its maintenance-friendly design.
Available in various construction materials, including stainless steel, it handles corrosive materials with ease. The filter meets ATEX requirements for safe processing in explosive environments. For upkeep, the maintenance-friendly design allows easy access to components, while its CIP (Clean-In-Place) system ensures quick and thorough cleaning. Installation can be customized to match your specific production needs, supported by ANDRITZ’s engineering expertise.
