clarity. The DE and the filtered materials form a “cake” on the
leaves during the filtration cycle. As the cycle progresses, the
pressure drop across the leaves increases, while volumetric flow
rate remains constant.
High flow rates are easily accommodated as flux rates (flow per
unit area) may be as high as 2 gpm/ft² filter area.

with a gasket and O-ring
ensuring no bypass.
Our pressure leaf filters can be provided with wet cake discharge or dry cake discharge options. In the case of wet cake discharge, a
DuraSluice™ wash system is used to wash the cake off of the leaves. Dry cake systems use a vibrator to dislodge the cakes from the
individual leaves.

Nutsche Filter
Durco Filters Pressure Nutsche Filters use only one leaf for filtration. This
allows for very thick cake formation. Multiple operations can be performed
in one vessel including cake washing and pH adjustment prior to discharge
from the vessel.
Specific Applications
Pharmaceuticals Precipitated Salts
Food Additives Cosmetics
Specialty Chemicals Dyes and Pigments
Nutsche Filters are ideal where a cake thickness of 10 inches (254 mm)
or more must be obtained.
