The application of PEEK isolation blocks in rotary pressure filters offers several significant advantages:
1. Exceptional Thermal Resistance
PEEK isolation blocks have a high melting point and excellent thermal stability. In a rotary pressure filter, where high temperatures may be generated due to the mechanical operation and pressure, PEEK can maintain its structural integrity and performance without deforming, softening, or degrading. This ensures that the isolation block continues to function effectively in high-temperature environments, contributing to the extended lifespan of the filter equipment.
2. Outstanding Mechanical Strength
These blocks possess high strength, hardness, and good toughness. They can withstand various mechanical stresses during the operation of the rotary pressure filter, such as pressure, tension, and shear forces. The ability to resist cracking or breaking under heavy loads guarantees the reliability and stability of the equipment, even when operating under high-intensity conditions.
3. Superior Chemical Resistance
PEEK is highly resistant to a wide range of chemicals. Whether it is exposure to acids, alkalis, salt solutions, or organic solvents in the filtration medium, the PEEK isolation block is hardly corroded. This characteristic allows it to maintain its performance over a long period when dealing with corrosive substances, improving the adaptability of the filter and extending the service life of the isolation block itself.
4. Low Friction Coefficient
With a low friction coefficient, PEEK isolation blocks can significantly reduce the frictional losses between components in the rotary pressure filter. This reduction in friction not only lowers the energy consumption during operation but also minimizes the heat generated by friction. As a result, it helps to enhance the overall efficiency and operational stability of the equipment.
5. Precise Dimensional Accuracy
PEEK isolation blocks can be manufactured with high precision through advanced processing techniques. They can fit precisely with other components of the rotary pressure filter, ensuring the reliability of the sealing and isolation functions. By minimizing dimensional deviations, the risk of leakage or other problems is reduced, thus improving the overall performance and filtration efficiency of the filter.
6. Excellent Sealing Performance
Thanks to its inherent elasticity and deformation ability, the PEEK isolation block can closely adhere to the areas that require isolation under pressure. This forms an effective seal, preventing the leakage of the filtration medium and the mixing of different media in various areas. It ensures the accuracy and stability of the filtration process, thereby improving the quality and purity of the filtrate.
7. Exceptional Electrical Insulation
PEEK has excellent electrical insulation properties. In the electrical system of the rotary pressure filter, it can effectively isolate electrical components from other metal parts, preventing electrical short circuits and leakage accidents. This safeguards the safe operation of the equipment and reduces electrical interference, enhancing the stability and accuracy of the equipment's control system.
8. Low Maintenance or Maintenance-Free Requirement
Due to its stable performance, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, the PEEK isolation block generally does not require frequent maintenance or replacement during normal operation. This greatly reduces the maintenance workload and costs of the equipment, improves the operation efficiency of the filter, and brings significant economic benefits in the long run.
9. High Long-Term Cost-Effectiveness
Although the initial purchase cost of PEEK isolation blocks may be relatively high, considering their long service life, stable performance, and the ability to reduce equipment failures and maintenance frequency, they can bring remarkable cost savings and economic benefits over the entire life cycle of the equipment.
