For particularly low residual moisture, steam pressure filtration can be performed on these filters, too. This innovative hybrid process produces dry solids which open up new possibilities for product marketing through the re-usage of residues or significant improvements in product handling and transport.

A vacuum disc filter consists of five main parts;

Valve: One side of the valve confronts the two gaps of the vacuum pump which one is for vacuum and the other one is for blow evacuation. The other side of the valve confronts bridge blocks of filter with isolated cake formation, cake drying and blow evacuation sections.

Sectors and Sector Bags: Metal, plastic, fiberglass or wood materials can be used to produce these sectors. The cake is captured by a sector bag as the liquid passes through the center barrel, out to filter valve and into the sector.

Center Barrel: A center barrel consists of a connected series of tubes; one for every sector, with a hole for each disc.

Filter Tank and Agitator: The filter tank containing the slurry is anticipated for filtration. To keep the liquids to solid ratio steady, an agitator spins and continuously mixes the slurry.

Variable Speed Drive: The variable speed drive is powered by an electric engine, permits the revolution speed to differ, correlates for efficiency of the particular application.
