VDF-P Series Horizontal Pan Filters

The VDF-P Series Horizontal Pan Filters by Minerza are continuous vacuum filtration systems specifically designed for coarse and fast-settling solids, providing exceptional throughput, efficient cake washing, and low moisture discharge. Each unit rotates horizontally around a vertical axis and is divided into sectors with individual vacuum connections and fixed filter media.

Ideal for granular materials and low-viscosity slurries, these filters achieve high filtration rates per square meterwhile minimizing operating and capital costs. The rotating pan design enables uninterrupted operation — with cake forming, washing, drying, and discharge taking place in a continuous sequence.

Filter cakes can be efficiently dried using steam, hot air, or other heating methods, reducing moisture content for easier handling and reduced downstream processing. Rugged construction using mild steel, high-grade alloys, or rubber-lined materials ensures long service life even in aggressive environments.

With a compact footprint, low operator involvement, and high washing efficiency, the VDF-P Series is an excellent solution for mining, metallurgy, chemicals, and fertilizer industries seeking scalable, low-maintenance filtration.
