Choose the Platform by Slurry and Lifecycle Priority
The three platforms share a continuous disc format but use different media and system priorities. No single type is automatically best for every mineral slurry.
Energy-Efficient Vacuum Disc Filter
Optimized cloth-media system for projects that give annual vacuum-system power greater lifecycle weight.
Explore TP SeriesCeramic Vacuum Disc Filter
Cloth-free porous ceramic plates for compatible fine concentrates where cake release and cleaning are proven.

Disc Filter Platform Comparison
Use this as a screening guide. Representative testwork and project-specific sizing remain the decision basis.

Practical answers
Frequently Asked Questions
Use these answers to prepare a useful discussion with BOYUN. Final equipment selection still depends on project data.
Why is representative slurry data required?
Mineral names do not define filterability. Particle-size distribution, mineralogy, clay, reagent chemistry, feed solids and temperature can change cake formation, permeability and release. Use the filterability test process when performance is commercially important.
What information should be sent for a preliminary review?
Provide duty, mineral, dry throughput, feed solids, particle size or P80, target moisture, operating hours, elevation and available utilities through the disc filter quote page.
Does BOYUN guarantee cake moisture from a mineral name?
No. A responsible target must be tied to representative feed data, test conditions and an agreed equipment and operating basis.
Define the Next Engineering Step
Share the slurry, dry throughput, feed solids, particle size and target cake moisture. BOYUN will identify missing data and recommend testing, sizing or a suitable filter configuration.
