What equipment do I need to perform a vacuum filtration?

Filtration under vacuum, also known as Büchner filtration, is commonly used to isolate the solid precipitate from a solution. This technique is used in syntheses, for example when a reaction has yielded a solid, or in analyses including gravimetric analysis of suspended solids. Although performing the filtration is simple, several pieces of equipment are needed which must all fit together, ...

Continuous-Indexing Thin-Cake Vacuum Belt Filters Improve Process Operations by Replacing Conventional Vacuum Filters

INTRODUCTION The chemical industry faces unique challenges to increase process efficiencies and yields while improving the safe handling of solids and slurries. To meel these requirements, with less operator interaction, the industry's need for new ...

Continuous-Indexing Vacuum Belt Filter

The BHS Continuous-Indexing Vacuum Belt Filter provides for vacuum filtration, cake washing, pressing and drying of high solids slurries. The technology is based upon fixed vacuum trays, continuously feeding slurry system and indexing or step-wise movement of the filter media. In practical terms, the operational features of the Belt Filter can be viewed as a series of Buchner funnels.
