Filson: Your Outstanding Rotary Drum Filter Manufacturer
Filson rotary drum filter, also named rotary vacuum drum filter, is composed of a vacuum system and a metal drum with 1 to 20 feet long. It is an ideal filtration choice to capture slurries, flocculated suspensions, and liquids with a high proportion of solids.
As a reliable rotary drum manufacturer, Filson designs and manufactures high-performance rotary drum filter and filtration products for all industries, such as self cleaning drum filter, continuous vacuum filter, pond drum filter, small rotary filter, hex drum filter, rotary drum screen…
Compare to other rotary drum filter suppliers, Filson rotary drum filters always provide a higher filtration capacity but with smaller dimensions design. As we adopt multi-cell designs rotary filter screen that will easily form a thinner layer of contamination cake on the surface.
Through high washing rates and less water consumption, it can achieve higher cleanliness level and better filtration effect. Meanwhile, the important point is that rotary drum filter from Filson can totally achieve full-automatic operation to help you save overall labor cost.
Also, there is an exceptionally strong agitator in Filson rotary drum filter to help you effectively prevent sediment accumulated in the slurry pan, thus further lengthening your equipment lifespan. Standards Filson discharge options are including scraper discharge, belt discharge, string discharge, roller discharge and pre-coat discharge.
In addition, Filson also offers replacement rotary drum filter screen and accessories for other brands such as Hydrotech drum filter, Draco drum filter, Alar rotary vacuum drum filter, EIMCO drum filter, FREE drum filter, Filtreau drum filter, Microscreen drum filter, Burtons drum filter, etc.

People Also Ask?
Rotary Drum Filter, also called rotary drum filter(RVDF), is one of the oldest filters used in industrial liquid-solids separation and similar to a drum lying on its side. Made up of large rotating drum covered with a piece of cloth, the rotary drum filter is of all-metal construction. And the drum is suspended axially over a tank containing a liquid/solid slurry and about 50-80% of the screen area is immersed in the slurry. One-third to one-half of the drum is submerged in mud.
The work of Filson RDVF is divided into multiple zones such as pick-up zone, drainage zone, washing zone, drying zone, and cake removal zone.
- As the drum rotates, it is immersed in the feed slurry to the required depth and vacuum is applied to those areas where the drum is submerged.
- The slurry is sucked through the filter media(cloth) on the drum surface which retains the solids and rotated them out of the suspension as a cake.
- Then, the filtrate is transferred to the receiver, while the drum leaves the drainage zone and enters the washing zone.
- When the filter cake is rotated out, it is dewatered in the drying zone. Finally, apply pressure to the underside of the cloth to help remove the cake.
Working conditions:
- Continuous operation of large quantities of slurry
- Considerable amounts of solids: 15-30%
Industries:
- Mineral ores such as alumina, coal, kaolin
- Basic chemicals such as synthetic resins, waxes
- Industrial and Municipal wastewater
- Food such as sweeteners and starch
- Pharmaceutical and cosmetics
- Pulp & Paper manufacturing
- Aquaculture Industry
Rotary drum filter is composed of cylindrical filter membrane which is partially submerged in the slurry to be filtered. The inside of the drum is kept below ambient pressure. When the drum rotates in the slurry, the membrane draws liquid. The solids cake on the membrane surface while the drum submerged. A knife of the blade is placed there to scrape off the product from the surface.
- Complicated design with many moving parts
- Expensive due to connection accessories
- Low washing and drying efficient because the cake is easy to crack under vacuum
- Not suitable for filtering hot liquid
- Pressure difference is limited to 1 bar
In general, the speed of rotary drum filter is less than 1rpm.
If the speed is high, then the filtration yield and cake moisture content are also high and the wear on the filter cloth is increased. If the rotating speed is low, then cake moisture content is low, and the yield is also low.
Therefore, the rotating speed of the cylinder is too high or too low will affect the dewatering effect, the general speed scale is 0.7 ~ 1.5r/min, the detailed speed value needs to be based on the nature of sludge, dewatering policy and vacuum filter cylinder diameter and other factors in general.
Bailer vent pulls a vacuum. You can drop a piece of paper near the outlet of the bailer. If the paper scrap is pulled in, the drum is leaking vacuum inside the internal pipe of the housing.
Bailer exhaust leak slurry. Slurry flowing from the bailer vent indicates a leak in the drum.
Drum runs with whistle noise. The valve spring needs to be adjusted or your wear plate needs to be replaced.
Loss of production-thinner and wetter cake. Severe valve wear can lead to such problems.
Drum filters shake and make clanking noises. This may indicate that the bearings are worn.
These are several common problems that can occur. It is best to troubleshoot your rotary drum filter and replace worn parts when the symptoms first appear, rather than waiting for a complete breakdown.
In addition, Filson can offer high-quality accessories to deal with the above problems.
