GUNT Drum Cell Filter Trainer, Continuous Solid Separation, Vacuum-Assisted, Variable Drum Speed, Adjustable Suspension Flow

The GUNT Drum Cell Filter Trainer demonstrates continuous separation of solids from suspensions using a rotating drum with vacuum-assisted filtration. The suspension, typically diatomite and water, is prepared in a suspension unit and conveyed by pump into the filter’s suspension tank. A stirrer keeps solids suspended, while part of the perforated drum, covered with filter cloth, rotates through the suspension. The drum is divided into cells connected to a vacuum line via a hollow shaft, drawing filtrate through the cloth into a vacuum collector tank. A filter cake forms on the immersed drum surface, which is then drained by vacuum and removed by a scraper or compressed air into a collector tank. Flow rate, suspension tank level, vacuum pressure, and drum rotation speed are all adjustable for process control.
