Delta Completes Factory Acceptance Test for Nutsche “Dachshund”

Delta just completed the Factory Acceptance Test for this special Nutsche Filter Dryer. This particular machine has a 2 m2 filtering surface and is equipped with a double glove box at the discharge nozzle. 

Here at Delta, we refer to this machine as a Dachshund, because of its short height. The peculiar dimensions will allow for a larger filtration area compared to the volume that needs to be filtered.
