Rotary Drum Filter

A rotary drum filter is a device used in industrial processes to separate solids from liquids. It consists of a large drum covered with a filter cloth that rotates partially submerged in the slurry or mixture. As the drum turns, liquid passes through the filter into a trough, leaving solids on the cloth surface. The solids are then scraped off or washed away, resulting in clear liquid and dried or semi-dried solids. This equipment is common in industries like wastewater treatment, chemical processing, and mineral mining, efficiently removing unwanted solid materials from liquids.
