Rotary drum screen filters for the food industry


FD Series Rotary Drum Filters

THE rotating drum screen filters They represent a technological solution used in industrial plants for the separation of solid particles present in process liquids. These filtration systems are used in numerous production sectors, including the agri-food industry, canning processing, and industrial water treatment.



THE rotating drum screen filters Designed by VALFOR, these systems are constructed with robust stainless steel structures and are designed to ensure continuous and reliable operation under various operating conditions. Thanks to their construction and rotating drum filtration system, these systems effectively separate suspended solids from industrial fluids, contributing to the management and purification of process liquids.

Structure and selection criteria of the rotating drum filter

THE rotating drum screen filters they are made with structural elements completely in stainless steel, a material chosen for its high resistance to corrosion, mechanical stress, and ease of cleaning and maintenance. The robust structure allows the systems to operate reliably even in industrial settings with intensive work cycles.


The system is equipped with collection tank for the purified fluid, which allows for simple connection to drainage networks or liquid recycling systems. Furthermore, the The drum rotation speed is adjustable, so as to adapt the filter's operation to the different operating conditions and characteristics of the fluid to be treated.



The choice of filter model depends mainly on two technical parameters: the granulometry of the solid particles and the flow rate of the fluid to be filteredThe distance between the drum bars determines the size of the particles that can be retained, allowing the system to be configured according to the specific needs of the plant and ensuring an efficient filtration process within production lines.

Applications of rotary drum filters

THE rotating drum screen filters They find application in various industrial sectors that require reliable systems for the filtration of liquids and process water.

Their versatility allows them to be used in numerous production areas.

Main applications include:

  • urban wastewater treatment

FAQ

  • What are rotary drum screen filters used for?

    Rotary drum screen filters are used to separate solid particles from process liquids or industrial water, improving the quality of the treated fluid.

  • In which industries are rotary drum filters used?

    These systems are used in various sectors, including the food industry, canning processing, slaughterhouses, wineries, feed mills, chemical and pharmaceutical industries.

  • Why are rotary drum screen filters made of stainless steel?

    Stainless steel guarantees corrosion resistance, durability and ease of cleaning, essential characteristics for industrial systems.

  • How does the filter drum work?

    The filter drum retains solid particles on its surface while the fluid passes through the filter's interstices. The rotation of the drum and the scraper allow for continuous removal of residues.

  • What does the choice of filter model depend on?

    The choice of model depends mainly on the size of the solid particles to be separated and the flow rate of the fluid to be treated within the system.
