VERNAY ROTARY FILTER : rotary vacuum drum filtration for continuous solid-liquid separation
The VERNAY filter is a continuous rotary vacuum drum filtration solution. This rotary filter is specially designed to efficiently separate solids from liquids in the processing of fine and speciality chemicals, mining, minerals and metals industries, fertilizers or hydrometallurgy applications.
Advantages of this rotary vacuum filter: a 98% 24/7 availability rate, a high level of cake drying performance, reduced initial investment and operating costs, a minimal footprint and the possibility of covering it completely with a hood to protect the product to be filtered or the external environment.

Advantages of the vernay rotary vacuum drum filter
Very high availability
With a continuous availability rate of 98%, this rotary vacuum drum filter ensures maximum filtration efficiency. This rotary vacuum filter also guarantees uninterrupted production and optimum use of resources.
Reduced footprint
The VERNAY industrial rotary filter takes up less floor space in a factory than other filtration technologies, for an equivalent filter surface.
Drying performance
This high-performance rotary drum filter dries the cake well, and offers different types of cake discharge depending on the type of product. The cake can also be washed or moistened using spray ramps.
Clear and limpid filtrates
With the pre-coat version of the rotary drum filter, slurry with a low solids content can be filtered, and filtrates that are as pure and clear as possible without solids can be recovered.
Reduced CAPEX and OPEX
VERNAY's vacuum rotary filter technology is characterised by low energy consumption, minimal maintenance, increased durability and optimisation of resources.
Chemical and mechanical resistance
This industrial vacuum filter is robust due to its design and a choice of material suited to the process. VERNAY vacuum rotary drum filter is also compatible with the solvents.
Maximised safety
This vacuum rotary drum filter is fully enclosed and a hood can be installed to ensure safety by limiting the risk of leaks of hazardous products and protecting operators from potential accidents. This protection system also protects the product to be filtered if it is fragile or if it must not be exposed.
Precision, speed and reliability
The design of VERNAY rotary filter with electric cylinders allows fine regulation, a high return speed to reduce the time between each pre-coat application (productivity gain), real-time feedback on the customer's monitor of the position and speed of the scraper, so that production can be adapted to each need.
Easy maintenance and adjustment
This vacuum rotary filter can be fitted with removable covers to ensure ease of maintenance and provide easy access to internal components for cleaning and maintenance operations.
Rotary drum filter with large range of sizes
From 0.5 m2 to 89 m2.

Description and operating principle of the Vernay rotary vacuum drum filter
Description of the VERNAY rotary filter or drum filter:
/ The configuration of drum cells and appropriate construction materials will be adjusted by our filtration experts, depending on the nature of the product to be filtered and the type of discharge.
/ In addition, a range of complementary equipment will be recommended to enhance the performance of this rotary filter also known as drum filter: separator tanks, filtrate pumps, vacuum pumps, automatic or simple valves, sensors and an optimised instrumentation and control system designed for the chemical filtration processes …
/ This rotary vacuum filter can be offered with an integral tank or supported by an independent carbon steel frame, depending on the size.
/ The slurry to be filtered is put into suspension using an oscillating mixer to prevent sedimentation of solid particles and assure better homogenisation and consistency of the slurry.
/ Drums available made of polypropylene, steel (unlined or lined with rubber), stainless steel and other materials depending on your process.
This rotary vacuum drum filter has a variety of options:
/ Internal suction pipes optimised for efficient performance.
/ 4 discharge modes: fixed scraper (NR), roller lifter (RL), output cloth (TS), and micro-metric scraper (NP) and micro-metric scraper (NP) for process with pre-coat filter…
/ Pre-coat version and design for slurry with low solids content (< 5-10%) to obtain clear and limpid filtrates.
/ Version suitable for standard paste from 10% to 0.01% by weight for pre-coat systems.
/ CIP (Clean In Place): internal cleaning of the filter.
Operating principle of the VERNAY filter or rotary drum vacuum filter:
/ The slurry is in a bath in a trough, then the cake is created on the drum by the suction created by the vacuum, and the filtration cycle begins.
/ Filtration then takes place throughout the rotation of the drum (i.e. over 270°), and the cake is then blown and separated to recover it as dry as possible.
/ The filtrates are recovered through the filter cloth and from the entire surface of the drum.
/ One or more cake washing ramps or pressure rollers can be added during the filtration cycle.
HASLER Group teams also design, manufacture, install, and maintain other industrial vacuum filters such as AOUSTIN vacuum table filters (ATF) and PHILIPPE vacuum belt filters.
HASLER Group global support for rotary drum vacuum filters
You need a partner that you can rely on for chemical filtration processes essential for your mission, to optimise the performance of your production operations. To improve the performance of your industrial drum filters and the availability of your industrial filtration installations, our experts can help you with:
/ Technical audits or industrial chemical filtration process audits on vacuum rotary filters also known as vacuum rotary drum filter or rotary drum filters
/ On-site services such as installation, commissioning, maintenance, assistance or repair of filters.
/ Material tests, simulations and filtration tests on your vacuum rotary filter: product characterization by Büchner test, filtration tests in our laboratory or on your site to size the equipment adapted to your process.
