Chemical Plant & Engineering is a world leading designer and supplier of filtration solutions to the Mineral Processing sector across the globe. CPE offers a range of vacuum and pressure filters for mineral processing applications.
With over 50 years of design experience, we understand the process requirements of this industry.
CPE rotary drum and pan filters are ideal for continuous filtration of medium to coarse solids at large capacities.
These filter types are a great fit for slurries with moderate to high solids content (2-40 wt. %). Pan filters are favoured if cake washing is required.
We can design a complete filter aid mixing system in combination with our filtration solution. Vacuum Filters
CPE designs and supplies a range of vertical and horizontal pressure leaf filters for mineral processing applications.
PLFs are suitable for batch liquid polishing and filtration of fine solids from the thickener overflow (< 5 wt. %), offering wet and dry cake discharge.
Clarification of suspended metallic solids (copper, cobalt, zinc)
Manganese refining: Sulphate solution Clarification of suspended solids
Filter Press
CPE designs and supplies a range of filter press solutions for mineral processing applications.
Filter press is suitable for batch filtration of coarse solids from thickener underflow, offering high capacity separation, wet and dry cake discharge, and cake blowback.
Like agitators, retrofitting underperforming or inefficient existing filters is one of our offerings to the mineral processing industry. Our engineers conduct in-depth analysis of your filtration process and recommend cost-effective solutions to enhance your filtration process.
Benefits of our filter retrofit services are as follows:
Improved filtration performance and throughput
Enhanced cake washing process
Safer maintenance- for operators and the equipment!
