CC filter

From an operations perspective it is essential to get the best performance with the lowest possible production costs. With higher availability and less power consumption than conventional vacuum filters, our straightforward but effective ceramic filter technology helps you achieve greater productivity and the best performance from your filtration process. This not only means excellent product quality in terms of a consistent and dry cake, but also a crystal-clear, virtually particle-free filtrate.

Metso Outotec CC filters dewater mineral concentrates, pelletize feed slurries and mineral tailings with microporous ceramic discs instead of conventional filter cloths. The capillary action draws liquid through the pores, requiring only a small vacuum pump and significantly reducing energy consumption.

A ceramic filter offers a simple-to-install solution with easy operation that replaces inefficient vacuum disc and drum filters. More than 200 units have been installed globally in base metal flotation concentrators and iron and ferrochrome pelletizing plants. The range covers differing process sizes and throughput requirements with a possible filtering capacity of as high as 250 t/hour, per unit. 

Metso Outotec CC filters range from the CC-1, our smallest test filter with a filtration area of 1 m², to the CC-240, with a maximum filtration area of up to 240 m². The capillary action spans a range of different process and throughput requirements. Greater productivity is achieved through higher availability and lower power consumption than conventional methods.

Metso Outotec CC HiFlow filters are used for large capacity and high filtrate flow applications. In addition to reaching high levels of performance, these specialized filters offer more automation and greater control for plants where constant residual moisture is crucial.
