Pocket Filter

Overview

The Laboratory Pocket Filter (Pocket Filter) is suitable for table top installation and is offered in a convenient, portable version. It performs fast, safe demonstrations and tests of filtration, washing and drying. The unit can circulate hot fluid throughout the jacket and supports vacuum and pressure gas drying. Filtration testing capabilities include examining filtration rate (and therefore batch time) and cake depth at varying pressures and with different types of filter media such as cloth versus sintered metal or by micron rating. The Pocket Filter is available for sale or short-term rental, and listed advantages include "Cost-effective" and "Mobile". Use the Pocket Filter on a bench-top to perform fast demonstrations and tests that support smarter, more cost-effective scale-up choices. Run filtration tests to measure filtration rate, batch time implications, and cake depth across varying pressures and different filter media or micron ratings. Conduct washing tests to compare displacement versus reslurry efficiencies and perform drying feasibility studies using vacuum or pressure gas drying while circulating hot fluid through the jacket; De Dietrich can conduct trials and help analyze results.
