and energy metals.
Flowrox Ceramic Disc (CD) Filter is highly
efficient and has the lowest energy
consumption. Besides that, it requires low
investment and delivers clear filtrate
with a dry cake. Compared to
conventional vacuum
filters, it consumes
approximately 90% less
energy. Flowrox CD filter
operates continuously
with high capacity and is a
cost-efficient solution for many
concentrator and tailings
processes. Applications for Flowrox CD filter are
divided to concentrates and tailings. The
concentrate applications most suitable for the
Flowrox CD filter are iron, copper, zinc, gold and

consumption, production output, to determine
the reasons for its waiting time, alarms and more.
