a distributed control system. The units���
automation capability extends beyond
simple filter sequencing to process control
to achieve consistent results under varying
process conditions.
A wide variety of Outotec filter cloth
types are available for different applications. During each cycle, the filter cloth
passes through high-pressure water
sprays designed to wash surface or
embedded solids off the cloth, maintaining cloth permeability, ensuring consistent filter performance with every chamber having equal cloth resistance, and
extending cloth life. The single cloth system, said Outotec, simplifies logistics,
maintenance and allows complete cloth
inspection without a shutdown.
Outotec���s new PF 12 and PF 15 automatic pressure filters (right) employ a single, serpentined filter cloth to reliably discharge solid cake (above) from the unit's chambers on each filtration cycle.
