BASIC PROCESS DESCRIPTION AND
CHARACTERISTICS
During use, it is typical for lumps to
develop after the wet filter cake has begun
to dry, resulting in inefficient drying. To break
up the lumps, the agitator is able to be slowly
lowered down into the cake by a lockable
hand wheel while rotating it in one direction
with a top mounted handle. The cake is
broken up and churned using the specifically
designed blade to break and churn in one
direction. After raising the agitator, it is
reversed in rotation and lowered down to the
top of the cake, re-smoothing it into an
even, crackless form. This process can
be repeated until the filter cake is dried
to the required specification.
