LT-A9600 Pressure Filter

PRODUCT DETAILS

The Pressure Filter is designed for laboratory solid-liquid separation and dewatering of mineral suspensions. Compressed air forces the liquid through the filter medium while solid particles remain on the filter paper as a filter cake. The system combines a robust stainless steel vessel, pressure monitoring and safety components for controlled laboratory filtration.

Solid-liquid separation: Supports laboratory dewatering of mineral and ore suspensions.
304 stainless steel vessel: Provides a durable material-contact surface.
Ø250 ±5 mm vessel diameter: Large cylindrical filtration chamber.
400 ±5 mm vessel height: Provides practical working space for laboratory filtration.
6 ±0.2 mm wall thickness: Supports the robust pressure-vessel construction.
Filter support system: Rubber or silicone support with fine stainless steel wire mesh and drainage grooves.
Sealed compression cover: Rubber or O-ring gasket helps maintain pressure during filtration.
Pressure monitoring: Integrated gauge allows the operator to monitor chamber pressure.
Safety valve: Provides additional protection against excessive pressure.
Air-release valve: Allows pressure to be released before the vessel is opened.
External compressor connection: Supplied with a 3 m pressure-resistant hose and connection fitting.
Filtrate outlet: Lower hose transfers filtered liquid from the chamber.
Filter cake removal: Integrated lifting handle assists with access to the retained solid material.
Mobile construction: Lockable wheels simplify positioning inside the laboratory.

Description

What Is a Laboratory Pressure Filter?

The Laboratory Pressure Filter is designed to separate solid and liquid phases in mineral and ore suspensions. Compressed air creates pressure inside the filtration chamber and forces the liquid through the filter medium. Solid particles remain on the filter paper and gradually form a filter cake.

The LT-A9600 Pressure Filter provides a practical system for laboratory-scale dewatering studies. It allows mineral-processing laboratories to evaluate filtration behaviour before larger-scale processing or further sample analysis.

304 Stainless Steel Filtration Vessel

The cylindrical filtration vessel is manufactured from 304 grade stainless steel. It has an outside diameter of Ø250 ±5 mm, a height of 400 ±5 mm and a wall thickness of 6 ±0.2 mm.

Smooth internal surfaces simplify cleaning after filtration. At the bottom of the vessel, a rubber or silicone support system works together with fine stainless steel mesh and specially designed drainage grooves. This structure supports the filter paper while allowing liquid to move toward the filtrate outlet.

Controlled Pressure Filtration

A compression cover closes the upper section of the vessel. Rubber or O-ring seals help maintain an airtight connection during operation.

An integrated pressure gauge allows the operator to monitor chamber pressure throughout filtration. The unit also includes a safety valve to provide additional protection during pressurised operation.

Because Liya’s current product pages do not specify a certified maximum operating pressure, the required test pressure should always be selected according to the manufacturer’s operating instructions.

External Compressor Connection

The LT-A9600 is designed for connection to an external compressed-air source. A 3 metre pressure-resistant hose connects the filtration chamber to the compressor.

Compressed air pushes the liquid through the filter medium while solid material remains above the filter paper. This pressure-assisted process can reduce filtration time compared with gravity-only separation.

The official product description does not clearly state that the compressor itself is included with the machine. Therefore, compressor supply should be confirmed when ordering.

Filter Cake and Filtrate Collection

Filtered liquid leaves the vessel through a hose located beneath the machine. The retained solids remain on the filter paper as a filter cake.

After filtration, the operator first releases the internal pressure through the air-release valve. The vessel should only be opened after pressure has completely returned to a safe level.

An integrated lifting handle helps provide access to the filter cake for removal and subsequent analysis.

Mobile Laboratory Construction

The Pressure Filter is mounted on wheels for easier movement around the laboratory. Locking mechanisms secure the wheels during operation.

This configuration makes the LT-A9600 suitable for mineral-processing laboratories, research facilities, universities and quality-control departments that perform laboratory-scale solid-liquid separation and dewatering studies.

Overall, the LT-A9600 Laboratory Pressure Filter combines a stainless steel filtration chamber, compressed-air operation, pressure monitoring and practical filtrate collection in one compact laboratory system.
