Candle Filter

We are offering candle filter.
candle filters are very well suited for handling flammable, toxic and corrosive materials since they are autoclaved and designed for hazardous environments when high pressure and safe operation are required. Likewise, they may be readily jacketed for applications whenever hot or cold temperatures are to be preserved. These features are not possible on filterpresses which require the opening of plates to the atmosphere by one to allow cake discharge at the end of each cycle.
candle filters are available in all sizes and the larger types may have an area of 200 m2 and contain 250 or more filtering elements installed in a 2.5 to 3.0 meter diameter vessels. The operating pressure range is quite wide but most of the candle filters operate at a pressure of 6 bars.
the candle filter consists of three major components:
• the vessel
• the filtering elements
• the cake discharge mechanism
all these components may be constructed from exotic materials of construction and heated to meet the process requirements.
the vessel
there are two types of vessel configuration:
• vessels with conical bottom for cake filtration and polishing.
• vessels with dished bottom for slurry thickening.
