Durco V, DV and VH Horizontal Pressure Leaf Filters are custom built and optimized for each application and specifically engineeered to operate with the minimum amount of maintenance.

Type V Wet Cake Vertical Pressure Leaf Filters are ASME Code and available in steel, stainless steel, monel, nickel, or non-metallic linings. Each filter features a rugged cover closure and oversized drain for fast discharge of sluiced cake. There are no piping connections to break.

The inlet baffle balances slurry distribution for uniform cake build up, to prevent cake washout. The flow pattern across the bottom of the tank prevents settling. Other features include a manual or hydraulic cover lift, leaf spacers to prevent rising out of the manifold, thermonized or jacketed tanks and an optional conical bottom to facilitate sluice discharge.

Type DV Dry Cake Vertical Pressure Leaf Filters require only a minimum of floor space and a full-bottom closure. There are no piping connections to break and the leaves are cleaned using a selection of vibrators, each designed to meet a specific requirement. Options include a quick-opening cover, cone bottom discharge, tailings leaf and external discharge manifold.

Type VH Vertical Pressure Leaf Filters are designed for batch operation, cake retention and cake washing. They combine the advantages of a horizontal leaf unit and the labor saving capability of sluicing away the cake without opening the tank. Cake is washed through the filter drain in minutes. Downtime and labor are minimized, as there is no disassembly required to discharge the cake.
