| Performance: The degree of fractionation and/ or microstraining depends on many factors; inlet consistency, spray pressure, inlet filler content, micron opening size, and particularly fines content of the fiber fraction.
The following results can be expected
Coarse impurities are separated out. All the water is microstrained.The fiber fraction is retained by the cloth and can be recovered. Changes in fiber content by the KROFTA Spray Filter are minimized so that subsequent clarifiers operate under a uniform load. The KROFTA Spray Filter improves the operation of clarifiers especially floatation ones, as it aerates the effluent making it more adaptable to floatation. |

DE-INKING PLANTS : Separation of good fibers from fines and ink for a higher yield, less clay content in the stock, and reduced disposal requirements.
BOARD MILLS : Fractionation of the longer fibers from the effluent for use in the liner stock, while the fine fraction is used in the filler stock.
FINE PAPER and TISSUE MILLS :
Recovery of fiber through the fractionation of the effluent thus reducing total sludge volume.
MICROSTRAINING of the EFFLUENT
for SHOWERS : Used to prevent the plugging of shower nozzles when either clarified or unclarified water is used. |

SPRAY FILTER (SPRF)
Advantages :
|
- Simple operation: few moving parts and very low rpm
- Self-cleaning: built-in cleaning shower saves down-time
- No fresh water required: clean ing shower nozzles are an open, non clogging type. Filtered water can be used in the shower
- Easy maintenance: wide access door allows easy changing of the cloth and access to the interior
- Inexpensive filter screens
- Window wiper operated manually is located on inner side of the door.
|
Purpose :
The KROFTA SPRAY FILTER
is specifically designed for the filtration of effluents containing from 20 PPM to 5000
PPM of solids. A fine mesh cloth with openings
from 75-500 microns is used as the filter media, either to separate long fibers from clay and
filler or as a safety filter for showers using
clarified water. The KROFTA SPRF meets the
need for high throughput units which can handle
wide variations of solids content. It is equipped
with a cleaning shower which greatly reduces
the need to remove the cloth for cleaning. |

Operation description
The water to be fractionated enters at (E) with a presssure of about 0.8 kg/cm2(11PSI). Through special nozzles |
-
it is evenly sprayed against a fine plastic cloth
-
fastened on a drum. The coarse fraction falls down inside the cloth cylinder and is discharged through the pipe, for reuse. The fine fraction passes through the cloth, and is discharged through the pipe, The gear-motor
-
continuously turns the cloth drum,
-
The intermittent cleaning shower
-
Sprays the cloth clean, making it unnecessary to change the cloth for cleaning. For intermittent shower cleaning the filtered water is used.
A large front door with a plexiglass panel
-
Allows easy access to the cloth drum By means of simple fasteners the cloth can be quickly changed.
