Buyer questions

Questions before you decide

What data do I need to shortlist a disc filter?

Start with flow range, incoming solids, furnish and filtrate target. Then check filter area, disc and sector scope, vacuum and layout.

Does a listed capacity apply to my white-water stream?

Ask for the original duty and measurement basis. Clarify whether the figure refers to liquid flow, dry solids, a single unit or the combined installation.

Which auxiliaries should I confirm in the offer?

Confirm the disc sectors, drive, vacuum supply, filtrate arrangement, showers, instrumentation and any equipment listed separately.
