Belt filter BF series

for solidsvacuumfor the food industry

Indexing belt filter The indexing belt filter of type BF is a continuously operating, horizontal vacuum filter used for the efficient and gentle separation of sedimenting solids from suspensions. The filter cake formed on the conveyor belt can be further processed in many ways, and this versatility is what makes the indexing belt filter stand out. Moreover, the individual filtrates can be recovered and processed separately. Benefits at a glance: • Continuous and fully automated operation • Versatile technology solutions • High throughput rates possible • Closed and gas-tight operation possible • Stationary vacuum trays Versatile technology solutions During the cyclic movement of the belt, the filter supports a multitude of steps for further processing the filter cake: Washing out (if necessary, several times and using a counter-current), slurrying, steaming, extraction, dry suction or pressing. The filtrates can be acquired separately during each cycle and processed in an optimized manner without any intermixing. Stationary vacuum trays The vacuum trays and the associated filtrate drains are firmly attached to the filter frame. Wear due to moving parts is not possible. The filter cloth moves forwards in cycles, together with the filter cake. Each time the cloth stops, the filtrate is sucked downwards. The vacuum is then switched off temporarily, and the filter cloth is released for further transport.
