Filter equipment - Import export

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.

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 can provide filter spares and consumable items for all of our filtration equipment. We can also provide replacement parts for most other filters used in the chemical and process industries and redesign a wide range of replacement components for old or obsolete filters using our in-house design facility.

For all precoat knife discharge rotary drum vacuum filters it is important that the knife advance system operates accurately and steadily so that the optimum usage of precoat material on the precoat filter can be attained. This latest design of knife discharge system has been developed by Filtration Services following many years of practical experience with earlier mechanical, hydraulic and electro-mechanical assemblies. All Filtration Services precoat filters benefit from this unique AKAS system, we can also adapt it to suit most existing precoat filter assemblies (e.g. Stockdale, Paxman, Dorr-Oliver, Eimco etc) and install it on site.

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.

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.
