When a large chemical company wanted a filter w i t h automated controls, Eimco built the automated platform precoat filter station shown above. When slurry level in the tank rises, drum speed is automatically increased to compensate for either slower filtration rate or higher feed rate. When level falls, drum speed is slowed. Separate level controls in the receiver stop the filtrate pump if filtrate level falls too low. An alarm sounds if it rises too high. If slurry continues to rise above alarm level the filter is stopped. Drum drive and scraper advance are intercon­ nected, so that when drum speed varies, the scraper advance is automatically adjusted.

In filtration, Eimco has engineered many custom-built filters for highly specialized applications. In developing new and profitable solutions to filtration problems, Eimco engineers are guided by this valuable backlog of experience . . . and by the results of Eimco's research into the science of filtration. In addition to a complete line of vacuum and pressure filters, Eimco builds all gravity and flotation equipment for liquid-solids separation.
