PFE - Pressure Belt Filter


Multiple Fields of Application

Industrial painting
pre treatment area -                
filtration of degreaser bath                
filtration of iron phosphate bathes                
filtration of zinc phosphate bathes
painting area -                
dewatering of paint sludge   
Machine tools
- filtration of coolant for machining application with and without chip generation, especially for grinding machines
- designs for the coolant supply of single machine tools and machine tool groups   
Food industry
- diatomaceous earth dewatering in sugar refining filtration
- recovery of corn out of rinse bathes in corn mills     
Beverage industry
- production of fruit juice
- diatomaceous earth dewatering in breweries          
Galvanising industry
- filtration of galvanic and chemical electrolytes
- filtration of corrosive solutions         
Pharmaceutical industry
- solid/ liquid separation and dewatering of pre products         
chemical industry
- filtration of acids, lies and solvents
- dewatering of iron oxide         
Power plants
- gypsum (plaster) dewatering at desulphuriation systems        
Foundries

  Advantages             
attendance-free, fully automatic operation over 24 hours per day     
high filtration quality due to adjusted high filtration pressure    
high cake dryness due to multi stage drying system  
high process-/ and operation safety even by lost of air pressure   
- low energy-, operation- and maintenace costs    
direct filtration, no tilled plate seperators are required (specially. phosphating bathes)   
high specific flow rates due to optimised flow conditions       
self adjusting closing mechanism without mechanical attachment     
easy installation, start up and system integration     
equal cake build up due to horizontal arrangement of filter surface     
high availability due to very low unproductive down times     
inline design, the media that has to be filtered can be pumped through the filter back to the bath     
chamber seals on the perimeter of the chamber seal the filter surface to the atmosphere and to the filtrate side, this guarantees a clean filtration plant and highest filtrate quality    
PLC control with integrated trouble diagnostic and connection or signal exchange to an overriding PLC belongs to the standard equipment. The PLC offers the possibility to control other components in the periphery of the filter                  


 
  FILTRATION SEQUENCE:
The filter chambers (1 and 2) are closed by raising the lower filter chamber (2). Chamber seals (3) on the perimeter of the filter chambers create tight sealing of the filter surface. Solid bearing liquid will be pumped by the filter pump (4) into the upper filter chamber (1). The liquid is forced through the filter media (5), which is supported by a perforated screen in the lower filter chamber. The solids will be collected on the filter media and will be formed to a filter cake. The filtrate flows through the lower filter chamber and will be forced back to the bath.

  DRYING SEQUENCE:
The drying of the filter cake succeeds after reaching the maximum admissible differential pressure, or the preadjusted time limit. The liquid inlet valve (6) will be closed, the air supply valve (7) will be opened and the cake will be dried now by the incoming pressurised air. After reaching a preadjusted pressure limit and / or a preadjusted time limit, the drying sequence is finished.

  REGENERATION SEQUENCE:
After the lower filter chamber has moves down, the gear motor (8) will move the filter media with the filter cake. The filter cake separates from the filter media and drops into a container (9). After the filter surface is covered by fresh filter media, a new filtration sequence starts.
