Agitated Glass Nutsche Filter is a closed vessel designed to separate solid and liquid by filtration under vacuum. The closed system ensures odourless contamination free and non-polluting working conditions maintaining product purity and hygiene. Agitated Nutsche Filters are extensively used in Herbal products, Chemical product development, kilo lab operation, pharmaceutical manufacturing, agro chemical and the food industry.
A typical unit consists of a dish shape vessel vessel with a perforated plate. The entire vessel can be kept at the desired temperature by using a jacketed and stirrer (blade and shaft) through which heat transfer media can flow. The vessel can be made completely leak-proof for vacuum or pressure service. The base plate is having arrangement of bolting bar to hold the filter cloth. Suitable nozzles can be provided including Manhole and Side discharge nozzle. PTFE Lined Stirrers are used for Agitator shaft and solid PTFE blades are used to take high torque generation during solid discharge and re-slurring operation.
