How to improve the filtration speed of a vacuum filter?

The vacuum filter is a device that completes solid-liquid separation driven by vacuum negative pressure. It is widely used in various fields such as metallurgy, mining, chemical industry, papermaking, food, pharmaceuticals, and environmental protection. Initially, most filtration was done by gravity filtration, which was later improved by pressure filtration to increase the speed of filtration, leading to the emergence of vacuum filtration. Nowadays, vacuum filters have become prominent. Are there any tips that can make the filtration process faster?

1. Before filtering, first lay the filter cloth flat, making sure not to fold it. After using it for a period, clean the filter cloth promptly to ensure its cleanliness. This is because the design of the filtered product is generally relatively simple. Proper maintenance of the filter cloth can, to a certain extent, increase the filtration area.

2. In addition to removing the filter cloth to improve its efficiency, using the flow of the filtering liquid provides kinetic energy and creates a pressure difference. When the filtration range reaches a certain value, the pressure difference will expand, and the flow speed of the filtered material will increase, thereby improving filtration efficiency. In other words, appropriately increasing the pressure can also enhance its efficiency.

3. The shape of the impurities being filtered can also affect the speed of filtration. Depending on the differences in time and temperature, the actual filtration effect may vary. At this time, considerations can be made from aspects such as temperature, the density of the material, and the shape of solid particles to enhance the speed of filtration.

The above is what we want to share with you today about ways to improve the filtration speed of vacuum filters. We will stop here for today, and we will discuss more in the next session.

How to choose the filter cloth for a horizontal belt vacuum filter?

In the daily industrial production of horizontal belt vacuum filters, a common issue is how to choose a filter cloth that is suitable for one's own industry. How should one select the filter cloth for different types of filter presses?


The application range of horizontal belt vacuum filters.

The horizontal belt vacuum filter is a type of efficient solid-liquid separation equipment that uses filter cloth as the filtering medium. It flexibly utilizes the gravitational force of the raw materials and vacuum suction to achieve solid-liquid separation.


Precautions for Vacuum Filter Machines

In the process of properly filtering waste liquid, a vacuum filter is indeed indispensable. This is mainly because it effectively utilizes vacuum pressure to perform its work, and its operation skills are simple and easy to master, which is why it is favored by many people.


The reasons for the non-sealing of a horizontal belt vacuum filter.

What causes a horizontal belt vacuum filter to become unsealed? During the operation of a filter press, there are times when it encounters sealing issues, which can affect the operation of the equipment and pose safety risks in the production process. So, what leads to such situations? Here, we summarize several aspects. Let's take a look.


What are the technical characteristics of a vacuum belt filter?

The vacuum belt filter press uses a vacuum box and a lifting device to connect sections into a whole, forming a vacuum liquid collection system, which is widely used.


Maintenance of Vacuum Belt Filter during Shutdown

If the internal energy of the filtrate in a vacuum belt filter increases, the liquid will also exert pressure on the filter plate. If the filter plate cannot withstand this pressure, the filtrate will inevitably leak out through the gaps in the filter plate, significantly reducing the original internal energy of the filtrate. Therefore, the equipment needs to provide pressure to the filter plate, with the pressure being greater than the counteracting force of the filtrate on the filter plate, thus ensuring that the filtrate maintains a high internal energy, which in turn improves the filtration effect.
