Wanna DU1300 vacuum belt filters

DU1300 is a width-family with six published configurations. Read its area, length, mass and vacuum-demand columns together, then request a current drawing and representative slurry test.

Choose a row, not just “DU1300”

1300 denotes the published effective-width family, not a single filter area.

Wanna’s DU rubber-belt vacuum-filter listing groups these six configurations under effective width 1,300 mm. The original table shares body width 1,800 mm and height 2,060 mm across this group. [1] The table below preserves the individual areas, lengths, masses and vacuum-demand values. Select a defined row when requesting an updated proposal.

*The supplier prints “vacuum consumption (0.053 MPa), m³/min”. Whether this is gauge/absolute pressure and the gas-volume reference conditions are not resolved in the reviewed text. Confirm the basis before specifying a pump.

Historic catalogue, current confirmation required

The original page shows 14 December 2011. These are its published figures, not a 2026 certified drawing, inventory confirmation or guaranteed process result. Ask the supplier to confirm revision, exact scope and deviations in the quotation.

More area is not a throughput guarantee

Separate geometric size from the rate actually demonstrated on your feed.

For the 9.1 m² row, the published effective dimensions give 1.3 m × 7.0 m = 9.1 m². That checks the geometry only. It supplies no dry-solids tonnes per hour, cake moisture, filtrate quality or washing endpoint. No reviewed Wanna test curve gives those results for a defined slurry.

For early sizing

Ask the supplier to report a feed-specific tested solids loading per unit area and explain the scale-up assumptions. Keep feed concentration, cake thickness, washing/drying allocation and availability with that result.

For a plant layout

Use the catalogue envelope for early discussion, then obtain a current general arrangement with access, auxiliaries, support loads and discharge elevation. Overall length is not the complete installed footprint.

A useful comparison in the original range is its three 20.0 m² options: the 1,300 mm family has overall length 20,000 mm, the 1,800 mm family 15,100 mm and the 2,000 mm family 14,200 mm. Their listed masses are 11.0, 11.6 and 12.0 t respectively. [1] Thus equal area does not imply the same building arrangement. It also does not prove equal output: the actual washing/drying layout and feed performance need evaluation.

Specify the vacuum system on a clear basis

The m³/min column is not slurry throughput or motor power.

The 20.0 m² DU1300 row lists 30 m³/min at the printed 0.053 MPa condition. Do not convert that directly into slurry capacity, a kW rating or a utility cost. The reviewed page supplies neither a pump curve nor a complete process-air specification.

  1. Resolve the pressure reference. Ask whether the quoted pressure is absolute or gauge and where it is measured.
  2. Resolve the flow reference. Ask for suction/reference conditions, temperature and the anticipated process gas/liquid carryover.
  3. Define included equipment. Identify pump, separator, condenser where applicable, seal/cooling water and instruments in the proposed package.

Request a duty-specific utility schedule with the supplier’s selected equipment and design margin explained. Do not treat the range table as a complete vacuum-system design. Any site system selection remains the responsibility of the project’s qualified engineering team.

Follow the feed, cake and water paths

Seven labels on the original system diagram need explicit commercial boundaries.

What the supplier’s labelled diagram asks you to resolve
Original labelQuote and installation question
A Feed deviceFeed distribution equipment included? Required inlet condition and tie-in?
B Cake washingNeeded for this duty? Wash liquid, zones and filtrate routing?
C Liquid separatorIncluded vessel and collection/discharge responsibility?
D Seal waterSupply specification, consumption basis and return route?
E Cloth washingWater supply, nozzle arrangement and wash-effluent handling?
F CondenserApplicable to proposed process? Included scope and utility basis?
G Vacuum pumpChosen model, performance basis, driver and controls included?

These are labels in the original diagram, not proof that seven separate items are supplied with every filter. [1] Micronics explains that the cloth provides filtration while the rubber belt provides drainage/support, and describes washing during the cake’s passage. [2] Ask for distinct cloth/belt identifiers and materials compatible with your chemistry and temperature. No lifetime or materials guarantee is inferred here.

Use a feed trial to decide whether vacuum is sufficient

Acceptance has to address the required cake and recovered liquid.

FLS’s primary guidance distinguishes feeds that can use vacuum filtration from those requiring pressure filtration. [3] Test representative normal and difficult feed conditions before relying on the DU proposal. The official Wanna application list is a list of possible materials, not a trial report for your concentrate or tailings.

What must remain attached to a successful test result?

The sample origin and preparation, feed concentration and size distribution, temperature/chemistry, conditioning, cloth specification, operating settings, cake thickness, test duration and measured outputs. Agree output moisture basis, filtrate-quality method and wash endpoint where relevant. Keep instrument/calibration and sample records so the later site trial can be compared meaningfully.

Set factory mechanical/control checks separately from site process acceptance. State who supplies the agreed feed, water, electricity, vacuum package and operating team. Record how deviations will be investigated and corrected before signing acceptance. This page reports no completed Wanna test or guaranteed filtration rate.

Ask for a row-specific, feed-specific proposal
