Vacuum filters are continuous filtration systems that separate solids from slurry using vacuum pressure. They are commonly applied in mineral beneficiation, chemical processing, and industrial dewatering operations.
Engineering Overview
Metzix Rotary Vacuum Filters are continuous-duty dewatering systems designed for high-capacity slurry processing where reliable moisture removal and automated cake discharge are vital. Utilizing controlled vacuum pressure distributed across segmented filter drums or discs, the unit forms a uniform cake layer, performs efficient cake washing, and cleanly discharges dewatered cake. Designed for rugged continuous uptime, Metzix vacuum filters incorporate wear-resistant valve heads, variable speed drives, and interchangeable filter media.
