The
conventional filter for solid-liquid filtration is very cumbersome to operate
and to maintain. The filter cloth has to be scrubbed for cleaning.
The entire assembly will have to be opened out every time for
washing, resulting in the surrounding area becoming dirty. The
operation and maintenance of this unit is labour oriented. Also
the scrubbing of cloth every time results in reducing
the quality of cloth (increase in slot opening). All
has lead to the design of a Candle Filter wherein the cleaning
operation is done in a closed circuit.
This filter is ideally suitable for direct filtration or with
precoat.

FEATURES & ADVANTAGES
-
Totally enclosed system, replacing
the conventional plate and frame filter presses. No messy
surroundings.
-
No moving parts. Therefore less
maintenance and reduced spare parts requirements.
-
Cake stability and washing achieved
without disturbing the assembly in closed circuits.
-
Less wastage of raw material
in the cake discharge.
-
Filtration possible with filter
aid/precoat or directly.
SIZE
The candle sizes have been standardized
for the purpose of ease in maintenance. However, depending upon
the flow rate of the filtrate, the number of candles are increased
or decreased to give the desired results.
Beside its performance the Candle Filter has proved to be the
best replacement for the Sparkler Filter. M/s CIBATUL LTD. has
certified that replacing the Sparkler Filter with our Candle Filter for Charcoal Filtration has been cost
effective as well filtration time is also reduced. They have also stated that the personnel safety is also
increased due to the removal of the charcoal in the closed circuit.
