ROTARY DRUM FILTERFilter types • with belt discharge (run-off belt)
ROTARY DRUM FILTERFilter types • Cake discharge Belt
Rotary Drum Filter Filter Types • “Bird-Young” encapsulated filter
ROTARY DRUM FILTERTypical use • Working conditions: • continuous de-watering of high solid content slurries requiring no or little washing • Slurries with solids that do not tend to settle rapidly • Filtrates that generally do not require a sharp separation between the mother and wash filtrates
ROTARY DRUM FILTERTypical use • Industries: • Mineral ores such as alumina, coal, kaolin • Basic chemicals such as synthetic resins, waxes • Sweeteners and starch
ROTARY DRUM FILTERCommon problems • Lifetime of the drum cover • Clogging / filtration performance • Belt tracking • Belt width
ROTARY DRUM FILTERSefar Solution • choice of monofilaments and DLW • choice of polymers • suitable pore size and construction • standard rubber profiles available
ROTARY DRUM FILTERSefar solution • special closures available • welding and stitching for extra wide drums
ROTARY DRUM FILTERSefar solution • Sefar Filter Media • see selected samples and fabric sample book • Sefar Fabrication
