Pressure Tube Candle filters are well suited for applications that require efficient low-moisture cake filtration or a high degree of polishing. These filters can also be used for thickening to produce a concentrated flowable slurry by partial removal of the liquid phase as filtrate. Additionally, Pressure Tube Candle Filters are able to operate on very short cycle times, taking advantage of the high filtration rates while the cakes are still thin.
