Vacuum filtration equipment and agitators
SLFC works together with CPE Mixing Technologies Africa – a supplier of vacuum filtration equipment and agitators. Through its principal in Australia, CPE is leading the way for the design of its RFT4 agitators and unique designed vacuum filter equipment.
We also supply rotary drum vacuum filters with various discharge methods. Vacuum pan filters are well suited for the filtration of free-settling, free-filtering coarse crystalline or fibrous pulp slurries. Travelling belt filters are well suited to applications requiring thorough cake washing (including multi-stage counter-current washing) at high throughputs.
Pressure leaf filters, filter presses and centrifuges
SLFC, in partnership with Mahle Industrial Filtration in Holland, is able to design and locally fabricate the complete range of pressure leaf filters.
We are able to supply manual, semi-automated and fully-automated filter presses in partnership with an Italian company, Diemme Filtration. This includes the GHT 4×4 that outperforms all traditional filter presses through superior capacity, efficiency and reliability, because of its unique overhead beam design and four pull-to-close hydraulic rams.
Representing Comi Condor, an Italian company established in 1920, a well known international manufacturer of industrial centrifuges. Their range of the syphon peeler centrifuges for chemical and foodstuff industries has been expanded and they now supply the largest peeler centrifuge.
Hot gas filtration
