Stainless Steel Nutsche Filters are industrial solid-liquid separation equipment designed to separate suspended solids from liquids through a filtration medium using a pressure differential.
The filtration process retains solid particles on the filter medium, forming a filter cake, while the clarified liquid (filtrate) passes through and is collected separately.
Nutsche Filters are commonly used in pharmaceutical, chemical, fine chemical and speciality chemical processing applications where batch filtration, product recovery and separation of solids from process liquids are required.
The illustrated unit features a stainless steel vessel with a removable clamped closure, multiple process connections and a mobile support arrangement. The internal filter plate, filtration medium and pressure or vacuum operating capability should be confirmed against the actual manufactured design.
The following table outlines the parameters typically specified for a Nutsche Filter. Exact values depend on the manufactured design.
