Outotec’s New Filter Products Focus on Higher Performance
New filter-cloth products from Outotec span the entire
permeability range, according to the manufacturer
Outotec has launched a new line of filter
service products—filter cloths and ceramic plates—tailored to perform with its
range of Larox filter units.
According to the company, its new filter cloths enable optimized performance
and process results for each application
and filter. The filter cloth collection covers the entire permeability range. Among
the benefits claimed for the new line of
cloths are optimized throughput and filtrate clarity, high discharge levels and dry
cakes, excellent cake release and resistance to blinding, stretch, shrink and
abrasion resistance, and extended cloth
life contributing to high filter availability.
Outotec’s Larox CC plate family has
been extended with two new ceramic filter plates—Red and Orange—which the
company claims enables high filter discharge levels and dry cake, extended filter life and high availability. Orange plate
is a filter medium with the original cast
structure and a special fluorine-resisting
formula designed for challenging envi-
ronments and processes emphasizing low
cake moisture; for example, base metal
applications. Red plate has a monolithic
membrane structure with a highly porous
core layer and is designed for processes
emphasizing high capacity, such as ferrochrome applications.
