Horizontal vacuum filters are one of the most efficient systems for solid-liquid separation.
Specifically, these filters are designed and built to achieve very high performance in the field of filtration of slurries with a high solid content.
Horizontal vacuum filters are extremely flexible and, among other things, are characterised by a high filtration rate.
TECNIPLANT offers two types of horizontal vacuum filter:
Belt filters have high filtration capacities and are equipped with a rubber belt, making them particularly suitable for large filtration surfaces.
Cloth filters are ideal for drying certain products that are often thixotropic.
Features:
Applications:
Vacuum belt filters are ideal for filtration processes that involve the presence of heavy solids and large filtration surfaces.
These filters are a subcategory of horizontal vacuum filters, with which they share great flexibility and a high filtration rate.
The main feature of the belt filter system is the additional presence of the filtration cloth and a special reinforced rubber belt with draining grooves.
Specifically, the rubber belt is activated by means of a variable speed drum, while the vacuum action is created by a vacuum box system. The belt is long-lasting, easy to replace, and guarantees a perfect seal between the moving part of the filter (the rubber belt and the cloth) and the fixed part (the vacuum box).
At the end of the filtration phase, the cake is removed by means of a knife discharge device. At this point, the cloth moves under the rubber belt and is cleaned by a spray nozzle washing system. The filtered liquid is drained through the central grooves of the belt and sent to the vacuum box and filtered liquid collector.

Applications:
Vacuum cloth filters are ideal for filtration processes that involve the presence of light solids and small filtration surfaces.
These filters are a subcategory of horizontal vacuum filters, with which they share great flexibility and a high filtration rate.
The distinguishing feature of this type of filter is the presence of the cloth that adheres directly to the drainage grids and does not require other sliding supports.
When the cloth is in motion, the product is supplied to the filter. And when the cloth is stationary, the supply of the liquid also stops. In this way it is possible to apply the vacuum between the cloth and filter and separate the solids and liquids.
The vacuum is applied and removed gradually to ensure correct and gradual tensioning of the cloth without damaging it.
The execution and shutdown times are managed by an automated control panel and can be set during start-up and adjustment of the system. The parameters can therefore be modified according to the needs of the process.
