Rotary disc filter cycle

The rotary disc filter cycle as shown in Figure 7.5 is restricted to single cake formation and deliquoring phases (see also Section 1.4.1.6). Due to the vertical... 

Figure 7.5 Schematic diagram of a rotary disc filter cycle showing the end view of one disc only typical installations comprise multiple discs mounted on a common central shaft. Suspension is fed into the trough at an appropriate position along its length.

The most common types of filters used in industrial processing are pressure filters such filter presses, leaf filters, and cartridge filters, as well as vacuum filters like the rotary drum vacuum filter, and the rotary vacuum disc filter. Most filtration units produce a cake, which at long cycles may become reasonably dry at the expense of declining the flow rafes. Keeping consfanf...
