What is a candle filter? Candle filter is a compact industrial candle filter, which is mainly used for clarification filtration of low content of liquid and solid. It can achieve high yield, the discharge of dried filter cake, and the treatment of various filtrates, and it is very suitable for filtering flammable, toxic, and corrosive medium. The candle filter design is designed for the need in the production process requiring a harsh working environment. The system can be automatically recycled and filtered without stopping the operation of the system, which can effectively avoid downtime and the operation safety of personnel. Candle type filters are pressure filters, running in batch cycles. They are seen in dispose of titanium dioxide, high-temperature flue gas, brine clarifications, fine chemicals, and many other applications requiring the highly efficient separation of filter cakes.
Candle Filter Uses and Principle
When the slurry is pressed into the pressure vessel, the direction of the slurry is always from the bottom up. It is conducive to the solid particles settling on the surface of the filter candle in the uniform suspension to ensure the formation of a uniform filter cake.
Filter cakes are formed on the outer surface of each stainless steel candle filter element. According to the design requirements,the filter candles in each row are connected to the top in series connection and parallel connection. This design is determined according to the result of the process requirement.
