The GUNT Nutsche Pressure Filter Trainer demonstrates discontinuous cake filtration of suspensions with high solid concentrations using positive pressure. The suspension, typically diatomite and water, is produced by a suspension production unit and fed from above into the filter. A recessed sieve base with a filter cloth is installed in the bottom flange of the Nutsche filter. A filter cake forms on the cloth from the separated solids. Positive pressure applied in the filter’s top section pushes filtrate through the cake and cloth into the bottom collection tank. After filtration, the filter cake is washed with water and dried using an airflow.
