| About the Product :
A filter dryer in the class of agitated nutsche filter dryer. Performs almost twice as good as the agitated nutsche filter dryer. We should know, since the agitated nutsche filter dryer in hydraulic version was first introduced in the country by us way back in 1990. The two operate on different principles altogether. The technologies are therefore different.
The filtration rate is nearly constant for most of the filtration cycle in a RapidFD filter dryer. Whereas in an agitated nutsche filter dryer the filtration rate is a function of the cake build-up; and after some time, as the cake thickness increases the filtration rate begins to drop. The filtration time in a RapidFD filter dryer could be 10% to 20% less than in an agitated nutsche filter dryer.
Next in the cake washing cycle, the re-slurrying mode in an anfd is adopted in a RapidFD filter dryer. Again the cycle time is shorter, as in the filtration mode.
Operation :
In the drying mode, the RapidFD filter dryer is at its best. It dries the wet mass almost twice as fast as that achieved in an anfd. Also, the dried product is lump-free. A minor re-setting in the agitation system can deliver a granular discharge if it is so desired.
Care must be exercised while considering RapidFD-Filter-Dryer for products or slurries that exhibit any of the following ( these properties make fitering difficult ) :
1. The solids show a tendency to blind the filter medium
2. The solids are shear-sensitive and ball up when agitated, and
3. Protein compound
