Rotary drum filter

Universals Conveyors offers rotary drum filters for upward flow separation. These are specially designed to handle the floating chips like aluminium, brass, CI, etc, which pose serious problems in filtering. Construction and operation: the filter can directly be connected to the machine outlet through a chute from which the chips are carried by a scraper conveying mechanism continuously. The coolant flows through a rotary drum, which has a fine stainless steel mesh around. After filtration, coolant is collected in the integral clean coolant tank. The fine and floating particles get deposited on the drum. The continuous coolant jet diverted from the supply pump itself cleans the drum and the scraper in the form of sludge carries the deposited chips away. The system works on "upward flow" principle where the difference in level of coolant is used for siphon action - hence very simple in principle but highly effective. The flow capacity and dimensions can be supplied as per customers specification.
