High-Flow Candle Filter for Continuous Slurry Filtration
Designed for continuous or semi-continuous filtration of process slurries with high solids content and large flow rates.
Efficient Thickening and Clarification for High-Solids Applications
CONTIBAC® RX is designed for filtration tasks that require high throughput and continuous operation. It concentrates slurries efficiently while maintaining a clear filtrate and stable flow rates. With automatic regeneration and discharge, it is ideal for processes where solids loading is high and filtration must keep pace with production.
High Filtration Capacity for Large Volumes
CONTIBAC® RX is designed for processes with high solids content and large flow rates. It provides efficient thickening and clarification without frequent interruptions.
Automatic Backwash for Stable Performance
The filter elements are regenerated after each cycle using a short backwash with gas or clean filtrate. This keeps flow rates stable and extends filter life.
Continuous or Semi-Continuous Operation
CONTIBAC® RX supports uninterrupted processing with automatic solids discharge. It minimizes downtime and reduces operator intervention in demanding industrial environments.
Candle Filter Design for Continuous Operation
The CONTIBAC® RX uses vertically mounted candle elements housed inside a robust vessel. During filtration, solids accumulate on the outside of the filter media while clear filtrate flows inward. Once a predefined pressure or solids load is reached, a short back-pulse dislodges the cake, allowing for continuous or semi-continuous operation without opening the system.
