Introduction
What is a 20L vacuum filter?
A 20-liter vacuum filter is a device used for solid-liquid separation with a capacity of 20 liters. This type of filter typically operates on the principle of vacuum suction, creating negative pressure during the filtration process. This negative pressure allows the liquid to pass through the filter medium while retaining solid particles or other impurities on the filter medium, thereby achieving solid-liquid separation.
Features and Functions:
The 20-liter vacuum filter is suitable for processing medium-scale liquid samples or solutions, made of #304 stainless steel and high borosilicate glass (3.3 grade), equipped with wheels and a movable stand, offering stable operation and convenient mobility.
Capacity: The 20-liter capacity is suitable for processing medium-scale liquid samples or solutions.
Filter Media: Various types of filter media, such as filter paper, filter membranes, etc., can be used to meet different application requirements.
Operation Mode: Typically operated manually or automatically, providing flexibility and convenience.
Materials: Constructed with corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel and glass.
Mobility: Equipped with wheels and a movable stand for easy movement and positioning by users.
Safety: The equipment features functions such as filter media damage protection and pressure control to ensure operational safety.

How to correctly choose the capacity of a vacuum filter?
Selecting the correct capacity for a vacuum filter depends on several key factors:
Flow rate requirement: Determine the quantity of liquid to be processed and the desired processing speed.
Processing capacity: Choose a suitable filter capacity based on the expected processing volume to ensure it meets the requirements of production or experiments.
Scale of experiments or production: Consider the scale for which the filter will be used, whether it’s for laboratory-scale or small to medium-scale production.
Processing frequency: Take into account the frequency and duration of liquid processing.
Work efficiency: Select a filter that can complete the required processing volume within a reasonable timeframe.
Cost considerations: Consider the purchase cost, operating cost, and maintenance cost of the filter comprehensively.
