Rotary Drum
Rotary drum (vacuum filter drum / filter drum) is the core rotating component of vacuum drum filters used in corn gluten concentration dehydration; among the most critical main spare parts of dehydration equipment. It is a horizontally oriented cylindrical stainless steel shell covered with filter cloth, partially immersed inside feed trough and rotating slowly driven by main shaft. Drum interior is axially partitioned into multiple independent sector shaped vacuum compartments connected to vacuum system via end face distribution heads. Under vacuum suction effect, slurry moisture is drawn through filter cloth, gluten particles deposit as filter cake upon drum outer surface; completing continuous workflow of adsorption, dehydration and cake discharge.
