The Filtra-Matic is a versatile pressure leaf filter for tough filtration jobs involving large volumes of liquid. It is especially usefule where a dry cake discharge is desired. Designed for operating efficiency and easy maintenance, this filter is offered in two basic models: the Filtra-Matic RT with its unique retracting tank and the Filtra-Matic RB featuring a retracting bundle design. Filter leaves for both models are of heavy-duty construction and provide maximum strength as well as flexibility needed to prevent deformation.

Two Retracting Designs

 The Filtra-Matic RT offers substantioal advantages for many application. In this design, the leaf bundle remains stationary while the filter vessel itself retracts. All connections, including the filtration outlet nozzle, are located in the stationary front section. As a result, process piping remains intact during cleaning, eliminating misalignment problems. Retraction of the shell exposes the entire leaf bundle for ease of inspection and maintenance of the filtration surfaces. This design also minimizes cake drop-off into the shell during the opening step of dry cake discharge systems. the RT is available in cylindrical or conical tank configuration. The more common retracting bundle design, the Filtra-Matic RB, offers good flow distribution and pressure control. It provides excellent sluicing characteristics and features easily accesible filter leaves for quick cleaning and inspection. the RB is available in cylindrical, conical or double-conical configuation.
