Ceramic Disc Filer

Proper orientation of the ceramic membrane disc filters is critical to their performance.

Ceramic disc filer.

Available in a wide range of pore throat sizes ceramic filters enable the operator to perform filtration tests at similar porosities to that of the formations being drilled a big advantage over filter paper. The disc should always be oriented so that the white smooth membrane surface is facing toward the feed. Contact westech and find out why the highly efficient long lasting ceramic disc filter is the answer for your high performance dewatering needs. The one piece pressure formed disc technology of the westech ceramic disc filter also provides higher backwash pressure and longer lasting filter media.

Ceramic disc filter is a device that realizes solid liquid separation by vacuum negative pressure and capillary action of ceramic filter plate. A ceramic filter offers a simple to install solution with easy operation that replaces inefficient vacuum disc and drum filters. The typical filter for extracting iron contains 12 ceramic filtering plates of the filtering elements discs which have a diameter of about 2705 mm making the total filter surface 120 m 2. Compared to conventional vacuum filters it consumes approximately 90 less energy.

The stardisc vacuum disc filters by andritz are continuously operating disc filters which are available in two designs stardisc and stardisc xl. Ceramic disc filters have been widely used in dewatering of concentrates and tailings of mines ferrous metals non ferrous metals rare metals non metals etc and the treatment of environmentally. This filter is most suited to filter feed slurries with high solid concentrations 5 20 w w 2 and particles ranging in size from 1 700 µm. Flowrox cd filter operates continuously with high capacity and is cost efficient solution for many concentrator and tailings processes.

A heavy duty central shaft running in totally enclosed bearings carries the predetermined number of discs the whole being mounted on a welded steel tank which in turn is supported on a heavy steel frame. Pore size µm 0 14. Flowrox ceramic disc cd filter requires low investment and delivers clear filtrate with dry cake. Ceramic water filters cwf are an inexpensive and effective type of water filter that rely on the small pore size of ceramic material to filter dirt debris and bacteria out of water.

In the oilfield ceramic filters are used as a replacement for filter paper in the hthp filtration test. More than 200 units have been installed globally in base metal flotation concentrators and iron and ferrochrome pelletizing plants.
