Self Cleaning Candle Filter

The Self Cleaning Candle Filter consists of a vertical cylindrical vessel with a conical bottom. The candles are vertically positioned in horizontal collecting manifolds. The filter candles are covered with a filter cloth. Once the filtrate has passed through the filter candle, it flows into the peripheral tubes through the slots and then down to the bottom of the candle, before rising again in the central tube toward the registers. When the filtration cycle is completed, cake discharge is brought about by counter-current gas pressure in the interior of the candle. The quick pulse gas blow-back lifts the filter cloth from the support candle and the filter cake releases from the filter cloth and drops down.
