Laboratory Vacuum Filters

A laboratory vacuum filter designed for filtering and dewatering flotation concentrates. It consists of a two-piece casting system and operates by applying vacuum to separate liquid from solids, forming a filter cake.

Working Principle

• Slurry is poured into the upper container
• Vacuum is applied through the base
• Liquid is drawn through filter media
• Solids remain as a filter cake
• Cake can be washed if required
