Description
The Laboratory Vacuum Filter consists of two castings. The upper one is the pulp container and is heavy enough to form an air seal between the filter medium and the base. Two dowel pins, which keep the castings in position, eliminate clamps and thumb screws.
The pulp to be dewatered is poured into the container, the vacuum is applied, and the solids are left in a cake on the filter paper. The filter paper and cloth are supported by a wire screen placed over the drain grooves in the base. A tapped opening is provided for the filter connection. The filter cake can be washed if desired. A laboratory handling pulps needs a number of these inexpensive units for quick and accurate filtering.
