BRASFELT Variable Head: ideal for dynamic process adaptations. Introducing the BRASFELT Variable Head, an innovation developed by BRASFELT to revolutionize the filtration process in Vacuum Disc Filters. With a design focused on efficiency and adaptability, this system allows the pie forming area to be adjusted dynamically without the need to stop operation. This flexibility is achieved thanks to a movable plate, regulated by gears, and an external adjustment shaft to the Variable Head. The BRASFELT Variable Head (Patent BRASFELT PI0705919-1) has the following advantages: Rapid response to process demands: The variable angle of the forming zone allows a better adaptation of the filter to the process demand and/or to the characteristics of the pulp in terms of density, solid concentration and increase or decrease in cake thickness, as described below: Maximum training area: the opening of the training area is as large as possible, increasing the training time. Minimum training area: the opening of the training area is as small as possible, reducing the time of training. An association of these two situations with a suitable rotation of the filter, which will be defined according to the process characteristics of the moment, will allow an optimization between the highest possible production for the expected humidity. Reduced downtime and simplified, ergonomic adjustment: Allows the opening of the pie-forming area to be changed at any time while the filter is still in operation, meaning that the filter does not need to be stopped to change the opening of the forming zone, keeping the opening of the drying zone fixed; This innovation reaffirms BRASFELT’s commitment to excellence, always focused on custom development, using specialized engineering, reinforcing its position as a solid-liquid separation solutions company.

Innovation in the BRASFELT Bearing: Simplified Fixation and Cast Design for Greater Efficiency! In our relentless pursuit of excellence, we are pleased to introduce innovation in the Main Bearing of the BRASFELT Vacuum Disc Filter, a key component in these equipment. OPTIMISED FIXING - Promotion of simplified maintenance: Previously, the design of the BRASFELT bearing had a set welded with threads at the bottom base for fixing the upper saddle. However, due to the events of maintenance and replacement of bushings of the bearing, for which it was necessary to remove the screws, there was wear on the threads and locking the screws, scenario that eventually required complex interventions to perform new drilling in the field. With our new solution for the BRASFELT bearing, we modify the design in favor of a simplified fastening with bolts and nuts. Now, simply remove the bottom nuts for complete screw extraction, facilitating the maintenance process and reducing equipment downtime. 100% FUSED DESIGN - Ergonomic Gains and Efficiency: In the previous design, the bottom of our bearing was composed of a cast piece welded to a carbon steel cradle. This application of solder to the casting eventually resulted in unnecessary additional weight. With the new solution adopted for the BRASFELT bearing, we replaced the lower assembly with a 100% cast piece, resulting in the elimination of the weld application and, consequently, reducing the weight of the assembly. In addition to reducing the weight of the set, which ensures better ergonomic conditions for maintenance, the new design promotes an optimized weight distribution, favoring the durability of the equipment. These improvements reinforce our commitment to quality and continuous improvement of our products, ensuring a more agile and effective maintenance for our customers!

Exploring New Frontiers in Ore Filtration: Introducing the BRASFELT Pilot Plant At the forefront of innovation in mineral filtration, BRASFELT presents one of its projects: the BRASFELT Pilot Plant. Developed as a versatile and effective solution for pilot-scale filtration of iron ores, non-ferrous ores and other materials, this pilot plant represents a significant breakthrough in the field of filtration technology.

As part of this special tailings edition, International Mining Editorial Director Paul Moore talked to Eustaquio Barbosa , Director of Operations at Brasfelt Ltda , based in #BeloHorizonte , Brazil. #Brasfelt manufactures equipment for solid/liquid separation and is the leader in the Brazilian market in #vacuum disc filtration for #ironore while also continuously developing products and solutions for the #filtration of other mined products as well as offering filtration solutions for other industries. Barbosa told IM: "Brasfelt emerged in 1993 as a reseller of filter fabrics and other products produced by Tamfelt Oy, a Finnish company. The business evolved naturally and, due to a lack of local production, started a cooperation with a Norwegian company called Hydralift. Brasfelt then acquired the rights to produce vacuum #discfilters locally, which became the first ones produced in Brazil and were first sold to Vale ’s Kobrasco plant, part of its Tubarão operations, in 1998. After that, Brasfelt modified its solutions and offering so that it could best fulfil the necessities of the local market, including the right price level. The result is that today Brasfelt filters are stronger and allow for higher production and longer operation cycles, consequently decreasing the costs of operation and maintenance. Therefore, Vale and other companies started to acquire Brasfelt filters in Brazil and in Chile, so that Brasfelt became a market leader in those countries." He adds on why disc filters are so suited to Brazilian iron ore tailings #dewatering : "The choice of a filter depends on multiple factors, but one of them is the size of the solid particles. For extremely fine materials, the natural choice is filter presses. But for not so fine particles, the natural choice is disc filters. The main operational difference between them, is that filter presses do not have a continuous cycle (they operates in batches) and also the productivity (tonnes per hour per square meter) is lower than that of disc filters. So the use of disc filters in iron ore tailings, which requires high production, was a break in the paradigm that stated disc filters are not suitable for this application. The content of sand really affects how the equipment will perform. Due to this challenge, Brasfelt made some innovations in its disc filters, such as the application of ceramic lining in more vulnerable parts and replacing the filtrate tubes from HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) to polyurethane. These innovations allowed the equipment to be resistant to the sand content of the #tailings ." #futureofmining #tailingsmanagement #futureoftailings #tailingsdewatering

Brasfelt Filter Press - Maintenance and Operation Training

Air Lung Tanks Brasfelt The Air Lung Tanks have the fundamental role of keeping the pressure and volume of compressed air stable so that you have an efficient blow and that allows the complete discharge of the pie.

The importance of blowing regulation in Vertical Vacuum Disc Filters.  The filter operating cycle ends with the cake unloading, which is done by means of a “blow” of compressed air, in a short period of time, with an approximate pressure of 1.0 to 2.0 bar. The blow occurs with the magnetic signal generated by the approximation between the sensor and the indicator bumps in the center of each filtrate tube. The correct adjustment of the moment of blowing causes the detachment of the cake to occur in the correct position in relation to the deflector plate and the discharge box, also preventing the filtering element from touching the edge of the box or the deflector plate at the time of discharge. The correct adjustment of the blowing, maintains the synchronization of the sensor and the blowing collar, which must be done, in a BRASFELT filter of 8'10", according to the following steps: 1st step (FIGURE 1) - Assemble the position collar on the drive hub (in some models the position indicators are fixed directly on the main shaft transition hub), according to the positioning indicated in the figures below. 2nd step (FIGURE 2) - Assemble the sensor and sensors fixation support according to the positioning indicated in the figures below.
