CE 285 provides the experimental filtration units with a suspension of diatomite and water (recommended). The suspension is prepared in the stirred tank. The stirrer ensures that the solid remains suspended and does not settle. An eccentric screw pump delivers the suspension to the connected experimental unit.
The pump rotor is made of stainless steel. It runs inside an elastomer housing. A manometer indicates the pressure. A pressure cut-out switch stops the pump if the pressure is too high. A temperature transducer protects the pump from running dry. The speed of the pump can be adjusted on a potentiometer. The stirred tank features a level indicator and three flow impeders. All necessary connecting elements are supplied to connect the supply unit to the relevant experimental filtration unit.
