LT-M0618 Vacuum Filter

PRODUCT DETAILS

The Vacuum Filter is designed for laboratory-scale solid-liquid separation and dewatering of mineral suspensions. A two-stage vacuum pump creates the pressure difference required to draw liquid through the filter medium while solid particles remain on the filter surface as a filter cake.

Solid-liquid separation: Supports filtration and dewatering of mineral slurries and suspensions.
Two-stage vacuum pump: Provides strong and stable suction during laboratory filtration.
9.0 m³/h suction capacity: Supports efficient removal of liquid from the sample.
High vacuum performance: The pump can reach approximately 0.02 mbar under specified operating conditions.
0.37 kW pump motor: Provides reliable vacuum generation.
2800 rpm motor speed: Supports continuous laboratory operation.
Ø250 × 60 mm filter chamber: Provides a practical filtration area for mineral samples.
Glass collection flask: Compatible with 1000 or 2000 ml collection vessels.
Filter paper set: Includes 100 sheets, 400 × 400 mm, with approximately 40 µm filtration rating.
Filter support cloth: Ø340 mm support elements help maintain the filter medium in position.
Stainless steel support mesh: Ø240 mm mesh provides mechanical support below the filter medium.
500 ml pump oil capacity: Supports the oil-lubricated vacuum pump system.
Power supply: 220 V, 1 Ph, 50 Hz.
Product code: LT-M0618.

Description

What Is a Laboratory Vacuum Filter?

The Laboratory Vacuum Filter is designed to separate solid particles from liquid phases in mineral suspensions. The system creates a pressure difference beneath the filter medium and draws liquid through the filtration surface.

During operation, the liquid passes through the filter paper and is transferred to a glass collection flask. Solid particles remain on the filtration surface and gradually form a filter cake.

The LT-M0618 Vacuum Filter therefore supports laboratory-scale dewatering and sample preparation in mining and mineral-processing applications. Liya Test lists the LT-M0618 as its Vacuum Filter model without a specific test standard.

Two-Stage Vacuum Pump

The system uses a two-stage vacuum pump with a suction capacity of approximately 9.0 m³/h.

Under specified operating conditions, the pump can reach approximately 0.02 mbar vacuum. This strong pressure difference helps liquid pass through the filter medium efficiently.

The pump is powered by a 0.37 kW motor operating at approximately 2800 rpm. Its oil reservoir has an approximate capacity of 500 ml.

Ø250 × 60 mm Filter Chamber

The filtration chamber has dimensions of approximately Ø250 × 60 mm.

The chamber provides the working area where the mineral suspension contacts the filter medium. During filtration, solid material remains on the upper surface while liquid moves toward the vacuum collection system.

The two-piece chamber and cover also help maintain the closed vacuum environment required for controlled filtration.

Filter Paper and Support System

The system includes filter paper measuring approximately 400 × 400 mm. The supplied package contains 100 sheets with an approximate filtration rating of 40 µm.

A fabric support element helps keep the filter paper correctly positioned during operation. Beneath this assembly, a stainless steel mesh provides additional mechanical support.

This layered structure helps prevent the filter paper from deforming excessively under vacuum.

Glass Filtrate Collection

Filtered liquid is transferred from the chamber to a glass collection flask through the vacuum line.

Depending on the required configuration, 1000 ml or 2000 ml glass collection vessels can be used. The transparent container allows the operator to observe and collect the filtrate during laboratory work.

The appropriate flask configuration should be confirmed according to the required test setup.

Mineral Processing Applications

The Vacuum Filter can be used in mineral-processing laboratories for slurry filtration, sample dewatering and preparation of solid material for subsequent drying or analysis.

Vacuum filtration reduces the amount of liquid retained in the solid sample and can shorten the preparation process compared with gravity-only filtration.

Overall, the LT-M0618 Laboratory Vacuum Filter combines a two-stage vacuum pump, compact filter chamber and complete filtration support system for practical laboratory solid-liquid separation.
