Leaching rotocel extractor

Tipping pan and horizontal filters are also used for leaching the modus operand of the Rotocel extractor resembles that of a tipping pan filter, although the details of its design differ slightly. 

The endless-belt percolator (Wakeman, loc. cit.) is similar in principle, but the successive feed, solvent spray, drainage, and dumping stations are hnearly rather than circulany disposed. Examples are the de Smet belt extractor (uncompartmented) and the Lurgi frame belt (compartmented), the latter being a kind of linear equivalent of the Rotocel. Horizontal-belt vacuum filters, which resemble endless-belt extractors, are sometimes used for leaching.
