Vacuum Filters – FAQ
What is a vacuum filter?
A vacuum filter is an essential device for efficient solid-liquid separation, widely used in various industries. By utilizing vacuum pressure, it accelerates the filtration process, making it ideal for applications that require precise separation and recovery of materials.
How does a vacuum filter work?
Vacuum filters operate by creating a vacuum to draw liquid through a filter medium. This process effectively separates solids from liquids, allowing for continuous operation and improved filtration efficiency.
