Peterson Filters Corporation has led the way in developing continuous vacuum filter equipment for many industries. Peterson equipment has become prominent in the coal mining industry where it is used in fine coal preparation circuits for filtering “clean coal” and “refuse” slurries.
In addition to disc filter applications in coal preparation, Peterson provides a wide selection of disc and drum filter designs that can be customized for a number of metallurgical, chemical, food and sewage type filter applications. Our product line also includes the “BOOTH” laboratory pressure sample filter for ongoing analysis and control of process slurries. Read more about our “Booth” Filters…
