BoVac Pan Filter

Dewatering and Washing of Al-Hydrate (Product)

The BoVac Pan filter is applied for filtering, washing and dewatering of Al-hydrate before the
product is given to the calcination process. Thanks to the hydraulically optimized design with
many special features and innovations the BoVac Pan filter enables the filtration and washing
of Al-hydrate product with improved filter capacity, improved product quality and reduced
operation and maintenance cost.

The filter is equipped with a steam cabin for reduced moisture and leachable soda content
and with the new method of attaching filter media, the BOKELA FrameTrak system.
FrameTrak has proven to be a reliable technology with essential advantages over the
traditional cloth fixing methods. The performance results of the new Pan Filter show
improved product purity in terms leachable soda content (≤ 0.003 wt%) with low wash water
and steam consumption (0.3 t/tdry product and 25 kg steam/tdry product) and lower residual
moisture (< 4 wt%) in the discharged filter cake.

The improved product purity achieved with this filter enables the client to generate higher

At the same time the quick filter cloth exchange due to BOKELA FrameTrak and the low

requirement and downtime for scheduled and not scheduled maintenance resulting in an
availability of > 95 %.
