GUNT Nutsche Vacuum Filter Trainer, Discontinuous Cake Filtration, Vacuum-Assisted, Suspension Feeding, Cake Washing & Drying

The GUNT Nutsche Vacuum Filter Trainer demonstrates discontinuous cake filtration of suspensions with high solid concentrations. The suspension, typically diatomite and water, is produced in a suspension unit and fed from above into the Nutsche filter containing a filter bag. As filtration progresses, a growing filter cake accumulates within the filter bag from the separated solids. Vacuum applied in the filter’s bottom section draws filtrate through the cake and bag into a collection chamber. After filtration, the filter cake is washed with water and dried by the applied vacuum before removal.
