Filtering Operation :

Slurry is charges to gravity or pump vacuum is applied in bottle section through filte receiver
Filtrate is collected through the filter bed & collected in Receiver, located below the lower compartment of filter & cake layer begin to form slowly on filter plate.
After 1st filtration is over, cake shall have almost 10 to 30% moisture
After 1st stage filtration , wet cake can be reslurried & spray washed by rotation agitator in clockwise & anticlockwise direction with up & down movement of agitator.
Cake is further pressed & Squeezed by rotating agitator in up & down motion to minimize liquid content in wet cake. Cake is discharged through Discharge nozzle by rotating agitator in reverse direction.



Drying Operation

For maximum recovery of liquid & drying vacuum is applied on top chamber & cake is heated by applying hot water / steam to form solvent vapour, which is turn is condensed in the condesor & collected in receiver.
Cake is finally discharged automatically by vertical & reverse rotary movement of agitator.
