BoHiBar Drum Filter

Steam Pressure Filtration of High-Quality Pearlescent Pigments

The BoHiBar drum filter is equipped with exchangeable filter cells and is designed for steam pressure filtration It is operated to filter, wash and dewater fine-grained (x50 < 5 µm] high quality inorganic pigments that are manufactured to different specifications and must all be filtered on the same filter unit.

The BoHiBar drum filter achieves a cake moisture of < 20 % while parallel running conventional pressure filters achieve a moisture content of 30–35 %. This means a water reduction by steam pressure filtration of 280 kg per t solids or more than 2 kg water per 1 kg steam applied which means a serious reduction in energy costs.

The BoHiBar drum filter can be quickly prepared for a product change thanks to exchangeable filter cells which allow an unparalleled quick re-clothing, an automatically opening pressure vessel and excellent accessibility. This results in significantly reduced personnel costs for maintenance and cleaning.
