Precoat Time
If all of the associated pumps are sized and
operating well, a 4” thick precoat cake can be
applied in less than 60 minutes. A 10-15 minute
curing cycle at the end of precoating is suggested
(recirculation of precoat liquor or process slurry
without knife advance) in order to firm-up the
precoat for a more efficient knife cut during
process filtration.
