Horizontal filter dryer

The horizontal filter-dryer (Figure 29.5) developed by Krauss-Maffei Corporation, Florence, Kentucky (Anon., 1991), and known as the Titus-Nutsch-Dryer (TNT), consists of a horizontal cylindrical housing designed for pressure and vacuum operation. The filter elements, strengthened by a perforated plate, are situated on the lower section of the housing. A hollow profile is welded onto the perforated plate, which allows heating of the filter elements. The upper...

Slurries of Tree-filtering solids that are difficult to suspend are sometimes filtered on a top-feed drum filter or filter-dryer. An example application is in the production of table salt. An alternative for slurries of extremely coarse, dense solids is the internal drum filter. In the chemical-process industry both top-feed and internal drums (which are described briefly by Emmett in Schweitzer, op. cit., p. 4-41) have largely been displaced by the horizontal vacuum filter (q.v.).
