Rapid Pulse Candle Filter

The Rapid Pulse Candle Filter is modification of our Candle Filter and is developed for filtration of the low-porosity solids and slimy liquids. Due to the low porosity of the solids the filter element gets choked very fast as a result the elements are to be cleaned quite often. Instead of going for very high area these filters can be used with a low filtration area to get the desired result.

The Rapid Pulse Candle filter discharges the cake by mean of air pulse given to the candle in the reverse direction at predetermined intervals. This discharges the unfiltered solid from the filter media & as a result choking of the filter media is avoided & further filtration takes place smoothly. As a result this filter can be used for continuous operation. The discharged cake from the candle due to its weight settles at the bottom of the vessel from these it is discharged with a sequence operation.

Advantages

No rotating components thus facilitating negligible wear and tear.
Simple and modular construction permitting easy handling by operators.
No manpower requirement for operating the filter.
Completely closed filtration thus avoiding operator exposure to filtration liquid/cake.
Negligible downtime due to completely automised cleaning and pre-filtration.
Least pressure drop.
Easier cake removal due to surface filtration.
Longer life of the filter element.
