High filtration rates:
Typically the Delkor Belt Filter will require only one third to one half of the area required by a rotary rum or disc filter. This is due to the top feed application of slurry which allows coarser particles to form pre-coat on the filter medium.
Flexibility of operation:
In the Delkor Belt Filter system, the cake thickness, wash rate, vacuum and cycle time can be varied to achieve optimum filtration conditions. This results in lower investment costs.
Low operating and maintenance costs:
Delkor Belt Filters use specially designed vacuum seals to reduce friction. This coupled with an open and accessible design results in long life wearing parts and low running costs.
Continuous cleansing of the filter cloth:
Both sides of the filter cloth are cleaned by wash sprays to ensure long life, and to prevent blinding throughout the cloth Life cycle. New cloth cleansing methods using positive back-flush can eliminate the use of sprags and reduce water consumption where required.
Better washing efficiency:
The displacement of mother liquor in the cake by plug flow washing gives maximum efficiency with a minimum amount of wash liquor. This ensures a high purity cake and minimises effluent problems.
Counter-current washing:
Counter-current washing in several stages can be used to minimise the amount of wash liquor and reduce mother liquor dilution while maintaining excellent recoveries.
Drier filter cake:
Due to better packing of the particles in the filter cake. gravity discharge and variable drying zone size, the Delkor filter gives drier filter cakes than other vacuum filters.
Delkor Experience :
Today, Delkor is the largest Belt Filter manufacturer worldwide, and the experience gained is reflected in the designs and competitively priced units.
