Schematic showing the Principle of Operation
Concept - The Horizontal Process Filter is very similar to the more traditional Horizontal Vacuum belt filter, but where it differs is in the mechanical operation. Rather than moving the filter cloth like a continuously moving conveyor belt, the Polyfilter advances the cloth with a precise and repeatable indexing action. The Polyfilter can be considered simply as a series of stationary vacuum compartments, over which, an endless filter cloth moves, in a controlled cycle. Each compartment is a separate processing unit. This has numerous advantages which are explained in more detail in filter cake washing.The great thing about a Polyfilter is the capital cost. Usually they are less than half the price of more traditional equipment, such as centrifuges, rotary vacuum filters, filter presses and rubber carrier belt type, Horizontal Vacuum Belt Filters.
