Nutsche Type Filters Applications
While not ideal for every application, nutsche-style filters bring significant advantages to batch-process jobs that form solid cakes quickly, such as:
- Multiple steps – filing, charging, filtering, displacement, washing, drying, and cooling – contained within the same machine.
- Containment of toxic, flammable, corrosive materials to maintain worker and facility safety.
- Small factor floor footprint
- Reslurry washing capabilities
- Efficient separation of solids, solutions, and mother liquor
- Maintenance of cake structural integrity
Components
Most of the used nutsche-style filters Phoenix offers come complete with everything you need to begin production, including:
- One- or two-piece vessels in a selection of base plates, flanges, connections, insulation, and cleaning ports.
- Rake, dual-blade, S, and other agitator styles; heated and unheated.
- Electric drive assemblies, some with variable speeds and hydraulic lifts.
- Side, center, bottom, or scoop-out discharge with automatic or manual plug valves and cake-evacuation options.
Expert Advice and Full Functionality
Phoenix Equipment’s used nutsche filters, components, and attachments provide turnkey filtering and drying capabilities for new manufacturing operations and fast, simple options for upscaling production. The equipment we offer can tackle all phases of your filtering and drying process. Our trained customer service technicians can help you choose the nutsche-style filter that best accommodates the size and composition of the solvent slurry coming from reactors and other upstream systems.
Our team can advise you on the proper filter medium – whether cloth, single-layer metallic, or multi-tiered sintered metal – that will produce the best filter rate, based on the particle size, shape, compressibility, and other slurry characteristics.
The nutsche filters for sale at Phoenix Equipment also can handle various cake-maintenance functions such as crack repair, impurity removal via displacement or reslurry washing, and compression using gas smoothing.
Phoenix also carries several nutsche filter dryers, which eliminate the need to move the particle cake from the filter to a separate dryer. The drying process involves heating the nutsche filter components to expedite evaporation of the residual moisture in the cake after pressure filtering. First, the filter dryer’s wall, base, and agitator blade are heated. Depending on the solid’s characteristics, drying usually is performed by employing a vacuum to lower the liquid media’s evaporation point. Other cake compositions dry better and faster through convection. In convection-type nutsche filter dryers, nitrogen (or in rare cases, another gas) is heated, compressed, and blown through the cake to speed evaporation.
