In all cases, we recommend first checking the liquid ring vacuum pump seal water so it is at the correct flow, pressure, and temperature.
In a Rotary Drum Vacuum Filter, increasing drum speed, increasing vat level, or increasing feed pump can increase production rate.
In a Horizonal Belt Vacuum Filter, increasing belt speed or increasing feed pump will increase production rate.
In a Disc Vacuum Filter, increasing disc speed, increasing vat level, or increasing feed pump will increase the production rate.
The upper limit of the production rate for each machine is the rising cake resistance value at thicker cakes.
