TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED
CHAMBER FILTER PLATE
> for efficient cake-drying
Existing installations of JVK Temperature-
Controlled Membrane filter plates (TCM)
with special heat conductive rubber
membranes used in cake-drying
applications can now be supplemented
by JVK s newly developed Temperature-
Controlled Chamber Filter Plate (TCC).
Advantages
Only one apparatus necessary for process steps filtration
and drying no additional dryer
Saving of energy costs and reduction of thermal losses
because of plastic plates with low thermal conductivity
Treatment of different batch sizes
Increased heating value for the cake
Maximum reduction in
weight and volume of cake
Reduction of deposit costs
Retrofitting of existing filter
presses to cake drying
system easily possible
