PILOT PLANT EQUIPMENT

FILTER UNIT 1

1800 x 1600 x 600

Operation

Vacuum

Pilot Filter Unit 1 is used mainly for applications where stainless steel is necessary as the material of construction or where clarification filtration with the formation of essentially thin cakes is called for. It is very suitable for precoat operations.
