Nutsche Filter

Additional Details

The Nutsche Filter is the industrial version which is designed to operate under either on vacuum or pressure. Present day Nutsche Filters are constructed to perform a multitude of tasks including reaction, filtration, cake washing and thermal drying on a single unit. As such these are very sophisticated machines with tight process control on parameters such as pressure, temperature and pH. Nutsche Filters are well suited for handling flammable, toxic, corrosive and odor-noxious materials since they are autoclaved and designed for use in hazardous and ex-proof environments when extremely safe operation is required. Nutsche Filters are available in almost any size with the larger machines for a slurry filling.

The Nutsche in its full configuration consists of four major components:

• The vessel
• The filter floor and cloth, woven mesh screen or sintered metal plate medium
• The re-slurry arms for cake washing and smoothing 
• The cake discharge mechanism
