with a novel design
The RB-SV horizontal vacuum
belt filter has the vacuum box
placed on the side of the rubber belt,
rather than directly underneath the
belt and along the center line of the
filter. Locating the vacuum under the
belt, as is traditionally done, is good
for processing, but has significant limitations
in maintenance and cleaning.
The relocation enables the operator to
inspect the equipment without having
to stop or physically enter the unit.
This ability is a tremendous advantage
in applications where frequent
cleaning of the vacuum box is necessary
because of crystallization, such as
potash and phosphoric-acid processing.
The side-located vacuum box has itself
been engineered to eliminate corners
and dead spots to minimize the locations
where scaling and crystallization
occur. Booth 650 - Outotec Oyj, Espoo,

An effective solution for removing
solid particles from sludge
The Auto-Vac is a rotary vacuum
drum precoat filter that effectively
removes solid particles from sludge,
producing dewatered dry waste. Typically,
this waste can be disposed of at
a local landfill without further drying.
Auto-Vac is self-cleaning with every
revolution, which prevents blinding
or clogging, and provides rapid filtration
and extremely high filtrate clarity.
The Auto-Vac filtering system is skid
mounted, pre-piped and pre-wired for

easy installation. It is offered both with
semi-automatic and automatic modes
of operation. This design works with
virtually any industrial waste. It is
available with 16 filter sizes. Booth 420

Compact flowmeters for
low flowrates
The mini Cori-Flow Series is a group
of compact and cost-effective Coriolis
mass flowmeters (photo, p. 32D-5) that
can also control flow at very low flowrates
(from 400 mg/h to 30 kg/h). The
unique design of the miniature Coriolis
sensor features quick response time
and high accuracy despite changing operating
conditions, including pressure,
temperature, density, conductivity and
viscosity. The device is suitable for both
liquid and gas flow applications, and
is capable of bi-directional measurement.
Mini Cori-Flow offers functions
such as alarms, measurement of total
fluid consumption, and batch dosing.
Typical applications include research
laboratories, pilot plant, semiconductor
and fuel cell processing, pharmaceutical
and food industries, and microreactors.
