1 Vacuum belt filters type CHF for solid-liquid separation of slurries in the chemical, food and environmental industry

Design, fields of application and characteristic features of vacuum belt filters type CHF

Vacuum belt filters type CHF make ThyssenKrupp are belt filters that are operated in fully continuous mode. Contrary to rubber belt filters, the filter cloth of vacuum belt filters type CHF is supported by a reciprocating vacuum tray. Due to the comparatively low weight of the vacuum tray and the absence of tension force required for tensioning the rubber belt, the CHF filter comes up with smaller dimensions and less weight, though the filter surface equals. In addition, the required drive power is considerably lower. Due to their compact and modular design low-maintenance CHF filters are most reliable. Adaptability to varying process requirements ensures an economic operation, whatever the application. Due to the modular design the filter surface of CHF filters can easily be extended or reduced, whenever the process changes. In case of the standard design all parts in direct contact with the product are made out of stainless steel resp. plastics.

Fields of application

Chemical industry Pharmaceutical industry Food industry Mineral and mining industry Environmental industry Paint and pigment industry
Characteristics The fully operationcontinuous mode of and the consistent supply of slurry and washing liquid ensure a uniform filter cake formation and optimum washing results. The horizontal filtration is supportive of the filtration process due to natural sedimentation.

Partitions the tray enableinsideexactvacuum the separation of the mother and wash filtrates. Due to the gentle handling during feeding, filtration and washing the mechanical properties of the product are virtually not changed.

ThyssenKrupp vacuum belt filters type CHF: Optimal for wash filtration and dewatering in many industrial sectors

The slurry is continuously fed to the horizontal belt filter. Filtration takes place on an endless filter cloth which is supported by a trough-shaped, movable vacuum tray mounted on roller bearings. By vacuum frictional connection the vacuum tray is synchronously moved with the filter cloth during filtration. A frequency-controlled drive allows the filter cycle to be perfectly adapted to the process requirements. When reaching the defined end position, the vacuum tray is atmospherically ventilated and returned to its initial position by means of a pneumatic cylinder. The filtration cycle starts anew.

Whether for the dewatering of slurries or for one-stage co-current and multi-stage counter-current wash filtration ThyssenKrupp Frdertechnik engineer and manufacture any size of vacuum belt filter tailored to the process requirements. If no process data is available, filtration tests necessary for designing the filter may be carried out either in the laboratories of ThyssenKrupp Frdertechnik or in the laboratories of the customer. To substantiate to laboratory test result, a leasing pilot filter plant with complete vacuum station is available for field tests. Effective filter surface 0.4 m2. Parameters are determined and verified under real operating conditions, if required.

Besides exposed filters, filters with exhaust ventilation, enclosed fume-tight filters or housed filters are available for toxic and hot slurries or if smell nuisance shall be eliminated. Vacuum belt filters from ThyssenKrupp Frdertechnik do also meet the high standards of the food industry.

Research, development and services

Research and development are rating highly for ThyssenKrupp Frdertechnik. A committed staff, experience and the ability to also tread new paths as well as innovative power, flexibility and know-how are the basis for a successful partnership with our customers. Our experience and our knowhow are the results of the permanent critical comparison of the design and dimensioning criteria with the results from practical operation. The starting point are analyses and examinations, of which the results are the basis for working out suitable concepts. To that end, methods and processes are adopted which guarantee the best possible solution for the respective task. Furthermore, thanks to the previous examination of the fundamentals, an optimal adaptation of the systems can be ascertained, for example the dimensioning of components subjected to high stress with the aid of FEM-analyses.

The values ascertained by calculation are then practically checked using a newly developed control and diagnosis system allowing verification of the most important operating parameters. Our services comprise project studies, damage analyses, planning and execution of conversions for modernising machines and plants and for increasing their capacities as well as an after-sales service worldwide and other services rendered for machines and plants of other manufacturers. The maintenance and repair service of ThyssenKrupp Frdertechnik offers local expert consultation.

Repairs are performed by highly qualified assembly staff using high-quality tested spare parts. Increase the productivity of your machines and plants. Contact ThyssenKrupp Frdertechnik worldwide. service Inspectionservice Stand-by Repair service on site
