The rubber belt filter of type BFR is a continuously operating, horizontal vacuum filter used for the reliable separation of quickly sedimenting solids from suspensions. It is characterized by high throughput rates and a robust design. Cake treatment involving one or more washing stages is possible.
Durability
The BHS rubber belt filter stand out thanks to its robust construction that specifically addresses typical applications. A firm supporting structure made of steel or stainless steel allows this system to be used even in harsh environments. BHS rubber belt filters are designed for a long service life under heavy load. This minimizes both maintenance and operating costs.
Low maintenance requirements
Due to the small number of individual parts installed, a rubber belt support in the form of a roller table and optimum accessibility to the vacuum box, the rubber belt filter is extremely resistant to wear and easy to service. Robust systems for belt support and belt guidance result in a long service life and reduced maintenance times.
High performance
BHS rubber belt filters are designed to deliver top filtration performance. Depending on the application, suspension capacities of up to 15 m³/m²/h can be achieved. Downstream cake processing, such as one- or multi-stage cake washing, is also possible on demand. Filter surfaces can be dimensioned up to 162 m² per filter.
Flexible production
By using tried and tested measuring and control equipment to measure cake thickness and belt speed, the filter can be flexibly adapted to the respective requirements in terms of production output. Downtimes due to retrofitting or adaptation are eliminated.
Customer-specific designs
Various materials are available for the design of the carrying belt, the supporting structure and attachments. Given the large selection of plastics for the filter cloth and vacuum box, the rubber belt filter can be used in a wide range of applications. Accessories such as a vacuum station or blower, filtrate or pre-thickening station enable the filter to be designed as a complete system perfectly adapted to the respective application.
