Description of Parts

The following components are part of the Alpenfalke Filter System, designed for superior performance and reliability in industrial filtration processes, including nitrocellulose production:

• Filter Stator: Designed as a horizontal cylindrical container with a base, including connection points for the rotor and drive mechanism. The robust design by Alpenfalke ensures durability and efficient operation.
• Front Opening: Equipped with a bolted flange for secure closure, ensuring a tight seal and easy maintenance.
• Bottom Outlet for Filtered Liquids: Features a drain for filtered liquids (XX01-N21) with a DN 80 PN 16 flange, designed to meet Alpenfalke’s high-quality standards.
• Bottom Overflow Outlet: Includes a drain outlet for overflow liquids (XX01-N22) with a DN 50 PN 16 flange, ensuring optimal liquid management.
• Top Exhaust Manifold Connections: Contains two flanges for the exhaust manifold, each equipped with a nozzle for compressed air (XX01-N71 and XX01-N72) with DN 25 PN 40 flanges, ensuring efficient air distribution as part of Alpenfalke’s innovative design.
• Top Ventilation Neck: Features a ventilation neck (XX01-N61) with a DN 100 PN 16 flange. Additionally, a side hatch allows easy replacement of individual filter segments of the drum, simplifying maintenance in the Alpenfalke Filter System.
• Flanges: All flanges conform to EN 1092-1 standards, emphasizing Alpenfalke’s commitment to compliance and quality.
• Back Wall Seal: Includes a lip seal at the stator shaft’s back wall to ensure reliable sealing, consistent with Alpenfalke engineering excellence.
• Bearing Assembly: Comprises a shaft, covers, and seals. Both rolling bearings are sealed and filled with lifelong lubrication, minimizing maintenance needs in Alpenfalke systems.
• Cylindrical Filter Drum: Built with a solid back wall and a front ring cover. It includes six interchangeable filtration sieves attached externally, allowing for easy replacement of filter mesh. This design reflects Alpenfalke’s focus on efficiency and user-friendliness.
• Rotor Drive: Powered by an oil-filled gearbox coupled with an asynchronous electric motor (XX01AM10). The motor is designed to operate with a frequency converter. The gearbox is mounted at the bearing assembly’s end shaft and secured with a tie rod attached to the stator, ensuring stable operation in Alpenfalke systems.
• Removable Stator Cover: The front stator cover is flat and removable, featuring connection flanges for filling suspension, draining trapped NC fibers, and an overflow neck for liquids (XX01-N23) with a DN 80 PN 16 flange, conforming to EN 1092-1 standards. This design enhances the versatility of the Alpenfalke Filter System.
• Suspension Filling Pipe: Includes a filling pipe (XX01-N11) with a DN 80 PN 16 flange, part of Alpenfalke’s precision-engineered filtration solution.
• Fiber Dumper: Equipped with a drain for trapped fibers (XX01-N31) featuring a DN 100 PN 16 flange. It includes a connection sleeve (XX01-N41) with an outer diameter of 18 mm for liquid and trapped fiber removal, reinforcing the efficiency of the Alpenfalke Filter System.

By incorporating Alpenfalke’s advanced engineering and high-quality components, this filtration system delivers unmatched reliability, efficiency, and performance. Whether in nitrocellulose production or other industrial processes, Alpenfalke ensures optimal functionality and durability, making it the preferred choice for industrial filtration solutions.
