Separation Processes

For high throughputs, consider this pressure drum filter

The Pressure Drum Filter (photo) consists of a fully opening pressure vessel with a fixed bumped boiler end on the drive side and a moveable cylindrical housing on the opposite side. Both parts are locked pressure tight by a snap…

This FB dryer incorporates a filter for fines

One feature of the Heinen fluidized-bed (FB) systems is the high-performance filter cartridges integrated in the dryer’s hood (photo), separating and recycling the fine dust particles that are produced during the process. No material is lost with the exhaust air,…

Remove suspended solids to 10 microns with this filter

FlowTex is a high-performance tertiary filter that removes suspended solids as small as 10 microns, and is suitable for both small- and large-flow applications. The patented design incorporates a fixed disc with a rotating suction head that never touches the…

Bulk bag fillers with even more throughput than before

Spiroflow Systems Next month at Pack Expo 2010 (Chigago, Ill., October 31–November 3), this firm will exhibit one of its latest Bulk Bag Fillers (photo) with new features that increase the number of bags that can be filled per hour…

This Filter-Cake Shredder Works at Low Energy and Noise Levels

Solid-particle filter cakes are often subjected to high pressure by a hydraulic press when deposited on a filter medium, resulting in a residual moisture level of 15 – 50%. The filter cake must consequently be prepared for further processing, generally…

Remove ferrous contaminations with this rotating system

Rota-Grates (photo) feature a unique rotating design to remove both large and small ferrous contaminants that tend to stick, clog and bridge when passed through flat grate magnets. Rota-Grates provide "exceptional" efficiency on many finely ground materials, such as gypsum,…

Flexible separators for hazardous areas

This firm’s decanters and disc-stack centrifuges assume a key role in the mechanical separation operations in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, including clarification of liquids, classification of solids, and dewatering liquid-solid suspensions and liquid-liquid separations. The firm’s decanters and disc-stack…

This mist collector requires fewer cleanings

The MSH mist collector is the newest addition to the Smog-Hog line of electrostatic precipitators (ESP; photo). Measuring at only 27 X 21 X 20 in., the compact MSH is equipped with the largest capacity ESP collection cell in the…

Replace lenticular filters with these cartridges

Argonide NanoCeram-LR high-performance pleated filter cartridges (photo) have been specifically designed and engineered as drop-in replacements for lenticular filters. They will fit most commercial lenticular housings, and are said to show greater dirt-holding capacity, higher efficiency and wider operating pH…

A new compact, high-flow version of filter regulator

This firm has developed and expanded its range of filter regulators to include a compact, high-flow version. Constructed from 316 stainless steel for both hazardous areas and industrial use, the 1/4-in. self-relieving filter regulator provides an easy installation, repair and…
