VA™ Vacuum-Assisted Gravity Strainers

 

Vacuum Assisted StrainerFeatures and Benefits

  • Vacuum-assisted dewatering - Handles feed capacities up to 0.5%; processes hard-to-drain low-freeness materials
  • Recovers usable fibers from process flows
  • Filtrate water is clean enough to be used in wash shower systems with no increase mill water requirements
  • Reduces flows sent to waste stream providing reduced treatment and compliance costs
  • Provides excellent washing of recovered fiber resulting in improved fiber quality and brightness
  • Single unit, multiple single units, or as a multi-unit "Multipack" module flexible installation options
  • High throughput per unit - Reduces equipment cost and floor space requirements
  • Precise screening to 40 micron
  • Accepts water is clean enough for a variety of applications; allows use of non-purging shower nozzles
  • High-energy cleaning shower nozzles maintain throughput
  • Replaceable filter media is economical and fast to change
  • Filtrate is re-used in wash shower systems with no increase in mill water needs or costs
  • Minimal power requirements
