ANF/ANFD is an equipment where multi stages of process can be done in single unit without significant handling & shifting in other equipment’s. It is a closed vessel with cylindrical shell, Top Dishend & Bottom Flat or Dishend type provided with heavy filter plate & robust stirrer to handle different kind of Liquid-Solid Mixtures. Detachable Bottom can be provided with Power pack system. Legs and castor wheel can be given for easy handling and movement. Guide Pods & Clamping arrangement can be Provided for smooth Seal-Tight Fitting of Lower Portion to Shell with the help of Hydraulic Cylinders. It is an ideal equipment’s for filtration in batches of liquids contains high solid particles where maximum recovery of solid is required. The liquid is separated mechanically using a filter medium and either using a vacuum or pressure or a combination of vacuum and pressure. A good design of agitator improves the quality of filtra tion and also allows solid to get discharged mechanically.
1. No possibility of atmospheric pollution from toxic fumes/ obnoxious smell generated from the slurry.
2. Explosion or fire hazard on account of spillage eliminated.
3. Very high solvent recovery is possible.
4. Very effective washing of cake due to re-slurrying resulting in thorough particulate washing and reduced washes and volume of wash liquor.
5. Possibility of reaction filtration, washing and distillation in the same equipment and even in some cases drying.
6. Available in special construction for sterile applications with high standard of particulate purity.
