Pressure Nutsche Filter

Pressure Nutsches can handle a variety of flow rates and solids loading that can be discharged in dry or slurried form. They can be designed for pressures up to 300 psi (2068 kPa) or full vacuum.

The single, horizontal leaf allows for fast and easy cake discharge and facilitates interrupted service flows. By providing the required connections, the nutsche can be designed to wash and dry.

Pressure nutsches are ideal for lab, pilot or batch applications and for easily filtered material such as carbon particles, salts and other products where a cake thickness of 6 inches or more can be attained.

Pressure Nutsche Applications

Ideal for piloting of new or modified batch operation and/or processes requiring recovery of the cake.

The Pressure Nutsche is excellent for lab, pilot or batch applications where cake thickness of 6” and above is achievable.
