CC filter

Vacuum filtration

Get outstanding process performance with optimally low operating costs. The unique design of the CC filter uses a disc of microporous ceramic sectors instead of conventional filter cloths.

Up to 144 m² filtration area

Near absolute vacuum operating pressure

Lowest Energy Consumption Filter

Typical process sizing 1000 kg/m²

Benefits

Capillary action within the micropores creates a high suction that causes cake formation on the disc surface and ensures an extremely clear filtrate.

Prevents air penetrating the wet filter plate
Requires very low energy consumption – typically less than 0.5 kW/m²
Achieves a high vacuum level (0.95 bar at sea level) due to low air leakage
Results in over 95% availability and optimally low operating costs

Applications

Copper
Gold
Cobalt
Chromite
Iron
Nickel
Zinc
Lead
