Precision Filtration for Multiple Industries

The Agitated Nutch Filter is engineered to perform critical filtration, washing, and solid-liquid separation tasks. Its wide range of materials, modular discharge systems, and adaptable design makes it well-suited for demanding applications in pharmaceuticals, chemicals, food processing, and more. Comprehensive sealing and surface finish options further enhance compatibility with diverse process requirements.

Flexible, Reliable, and Easy to Operate

Operators benefit from variable agitator speeds, user-friendly controlsdigital, manual, or PLC-basedand accessories like CIP nozzles, sight glasses, and hydraulic lifts. Easy discharge mechanisms and air/liquid-tight construction ensure efficient cake unloading and cleaning, reducing downtime and manual effort.

FAQs of Agitated Nutch Filter:

Q: How does the Agitated Nutch Filter facilitate solid-liquid separation and washing?

A: The Agitated Nutch Filter utilizes a cylindrical vessel with an integrated agitator to thoroughly mix slurries. The filtering medium retains solids, while filtrate passes through under pressure. The agitator assists in washing the cake and ensures even filtration, leading to efficient solid-liquid separation and thorough residue removal.

Q: What industries commonly use Agitated Nutch Filters and for what processes?

A: Commonly, industries such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, agrochemicals, dyestuff, and food & beverages deploy Agitated Nutch Filters for tasks like filtration, cake washing, and solid-liquid separation due to their reliability and flexibility in handling various product characteristics and volumes.

Q: When should you select mechanical seal versus stuffing box sealing for this filter?

A: A mechanical seal is recommended for operations needing superior leak-proof performance, especially with hazardous or volatile materials. Stuffing box sealing is generally suitable for less demanding applications where minor leakage is acceptable and process containment is less critical.

Q: Where can the Agitated Nutch Filter be installed, and is customization available?

A: The filter can be installed in both indoor and covered outdoor industrial environments, with the design and dimensions customized according to process requirements and space constraints. It can be supplied as a vertical or horizontal unit, with various mounting and discharge options tailored per site specifications.

Q: What are the benefits of variable speed agitator and PLC control in this equipment?

A: Variable speed agitators offer precise control over mixing and filtration rates, accommodating a range of material viscosities. PLC or digital control enables process automation, monitoring, and adjustment, thereby improving product consistency, safety, and ease of operation.

Q: How is cake discharge managed, and what options are available?

A: Cake can be discharged using options like a bottom dish, side discharge valve, or plate opening, as per the equipment design. Hydraulic lifts and sight glasses facilitate easy, safe, and clean discharge, optimizing operational workflow and minimizing operator intervention.
