Product Photo
The central shaft of a multi-disc filter is a critical component that plays a pivotal role in driving, supporting, vacuum transmission, and filtrate discharge. It integrates the entire filtration system into a unified and continuous operation, ensuring efficient and stable performance.
Structure and Features of the Central Shaft:
-
Main Shaft Structure:
- Hollow Design: The central shaft typically features a hollow structure, with internal vacuum channels and filtrate discharge pathways that transport vacuum suction and discharge the filtered liquid.
- Material Selection: The shaft is made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel, carbon steel, or alloys, ensuring durability under high pressure, flow rates, and corrosive environments.
- Dimensions: The diameter and length of the central shaft depend on the filter specifications and the number of discs, providing sufficient mechanical strength and stability.
-
Partitioned Internal Design:
- The shaft is divided into multiple zones, corresponding to the filtration discs. Each zone independently connects to a filtration disc and transmits vacuum suction for filtration and liquid discharge.
- Independent vacuum channels within the shaft prevent interference between different filtration zones, optimizing efficiency.
-
Vacuum and Filtrate Channels:
- Vacuum Channels: The vacuum suction, provided by a vacuum pump, is distributed through internal channels in the central shaft to each filtration disc, enabling solid-liquid separation.
- Filtrate Discharge Channels: The filtrate collected during the filtration process flows into the shaft's discharge pathways and exits the system.
-
Support and Drive Mechanism:
- Bearing Support: The two ends of the central shaft are supported by high-precision bearings, ensuring smooth rotation and minimizing mechanical wear.
- Drive Connection: One end of the shaft connects to the drive system (e.g., motor and gearbox), transmitting rotational power to the entire disc system.
-
Sealing Design:
- The connection points between the central shaft and filtration discs incorporate sealing systems to maintain vacuum integrity and prevent leaks.
- Bearings also feature precision seals to protect against contamination and extend operational life.
Working Principle of the Central Shaft:
-
Vacuum Transmission:
- The shaft transmits vacuum suction to the filtration discs through internal vacuum channels, driving the liquid in the slurry to pass through the filter cloth and perform solid-liquid separation.
- The resulting filtrate flows into the internal pathways and is discharged through the shaft.
-
Rotational Drive:
- The central shaft rotates via the drive system, causing the filtration discs to rotate.
- During rotation, part of the discs immerse in the slurry for filtration, while the exposed part allows for dewatering and cake removal.
-
Supporting Filtration Discs:
- The shaft provides stable mechanical support for the filtration discs, ensuring reliable operation without misalignment or vibration.
Technical Features of the Central Shaft:
-
High Strength and Durability:
- Made of high-strength metals, the central shaft withstands long-term rotational stress and pressure while operating in harsh conditions.
- Excellent wear and corrosion resistance ensures durability in acidic, alkaline, or abrasive environments.
-
Efficient Vacuum Transmission:
- The internal partitioned channels deliver stable and uniform vacuum suction to each filtration disc, enhancing filtration performance.
-
Optimized Filtrate Discharge:
- The central shaft efficiently collects and discharges the filtrate, minimizing backflow and contamination risks.
-
Precision Sealing:
- Sealing systems at the bearing and vacuum interfaces prevent leaks, ensuring high vacuum efficiency.
-
Ease of Maintenance:
- The shaft's design facilitates easy installation, inspection, and replacement of worn parts, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
Core Functions of the Central Shaft:
-
Power Transmission:
- Drives the entire filtration disc system to rotate continuously for uninterrupted filtration.
-
Supporting Filtration Discs:
- Mechanically supports and stabilizes the filtration discs during operation.
-
Vacuum Distribution:
- Transmits vacuum suction to enable efficient solid-liquid separation.
-
Filtrate Discharge:
- Collects and discharges the filtrate efficiently through internal pathways.
-
Enhancing Filtration Efficiency:
- Reduces vacuum leakage and optimizes flow channels for stable and efficient performance.
Summary:
The central shaft of a multi-disc filter serves as the "core axis" of the equipment. It connects the drive system to the filtration discs, enabling rotation, vacuum transmission, and filtrate discharge. With its hollow design, precision partitioning, and durable construction, the central shaft ensures efficient solid-liquid separation, reliable mechanical performance, and reduced maintenance requirements. As the backbone of the multi-disc filter, the central shaft directly influences the overall filtration capacity, efficiency, and longevity of the equipment.
