Vacuum filter - Import export

Filtration Services offer bespoke manufacture and design to meet both your site specific requirements and the exacting standards of today's industry. Our Rotavac rotary drum vacuum filter (RDVF) is particularly suited for applications where large amounts of liquids and solids need to be separated continuously and with minimal operator input. The Rotavac is available in a variety of sizes, from 0.8m² up to 60m² filtration area, and in a range of solids discharge configurations. Rotary drum vacuum filters operate continuously with the solids and liquid being discharged at steady, predictable rates. The units require little or no manual intervention, being simple to operate and maintain. Contact us now for more details and your individual solution.

The Rotavac Lab is a fully functional and representative lab scale rotary drum vacuum filter (RDVF) and filtration system, generally used for product evaluation tests or as a preliminary step towards pilot scale and full scale equipment trials. The unit can be used to validate the suitability of this type of continuous vacuum filtration equipment. The equipment offers the advantage of an easily interchangeable discharge system so that different configurations can be trialled if required. It is supplied with a control panel for modifying drum and agitator speeds and, when using a precoat discharge, the knife advance rate. A separate skid mounted feed tank, mixer and feed pump is included with the RDVF. The unit is easy to assemble and we can provide full detailed instructions including photographs at the point of hire. We include filter cloths from our extensive range of fabrics. Please contact us for more information if you are interested in purchase or hire of this lab filter.

Similar in general operation to the rotary drum vacuum filter, the rotary table vacuum filter (RTVF) is particularly suited to rapid-settling, fast-filtering crystalline suspensions. RTVFs are continuous filtration units and able to handle large flow rates. The orientation of the rotary table enables a thick filter cake to form on the surface. As the table rotates, the filter cake is cut from the table surface using a specially designed auger. A small, residual heel of solids is retained on the filter which helps to protect the filter medium.

Filtration Services offer a range of filtration equipment for hire. We have Rotavac Lab (lab scale) and Rotavac One (pilot scale) rotary drum vacuum filters and tipping pan filters available for immediate hire. Please contact us If you have any questions, or require information on any of our filters that are available for hire.

Filtration Services have undertaken many filter refurbishment projects over recent years, giving new life to old filtration equipment. Our main area of expertise is the rotary drum vacuum filter and refurbishment can be undertaken on or off site. During filter refurbishment work worn or broken parts will be replaced or if items are obsolete our in-house design team will design and manufacture new components.

The Rotavac One is our complete compact pilot filter station. Easy to install and operate it is ideal for small volume applications, process validation and pilot-scale trials. The unit has a small 2m x 1m footprint, comprising of 1.3m² skid mounted rotary vacuum drum filter (RDVF), filtrate receiver, filtrate pump, vacuum pump, blower (scraper discharge version only), local control panel. Two versions are available: Rotavac One S, scraper discharge and Rotavac One P, precoat discharge. These filters are ideal for larger test programmes under actual manufacturing conditions. We can provide filter media from our extensive range and advise on this if required. Please contact us for more information if you are interested in purchase or hire of our pilot filter.
