Filter Dryers

This small-scale contained filter dryer provides maximum efficiency and versatility in R&D kilo labs. The dryer is part of an overall system that has a 0.05-m2 filtration area with 15-L liquid capacity and a typical 2-8L wet cake capacity. Typical applications use batch sizes of 1-5 kg in a compact system that can be easily moved and receive slurry liquid from multiple reactors. The system achieves containment by means of a top-mounted 100-mm split valve that charges each vessel. Designed with a tilting mechanism integrated into the frame, the system allows complete inversion of the vessel for contained powder discharge via the same split valve. This achieves a containment of <10 µg/m3. Optional accessories can be added to the standard valve to achieve <1 µg/m3.
