Multimedia Filter Vessel on Skid
This is a 3D model of a vertical multimedia (sand) filter vessel on a steel skid, modelled in FreeCAD to show how I build process equipment as a fully separated assembly. The dimensions are representative, not from a manufacturer's catalogue, and the design is not engineered or rated for pressure.
PARTS (174 separate parts, every one its own solid, so it breaks down properly in an exploded view):
- Vertical shell with two dished heads, drain nozzle and plug, nameplate
- Top manway: flange, gasket, blind cover, handle, 8 bolts, 8 nuts, 8 washers
- Inlet, outlet and backwash nozzles, each with flange, gasket, mating or blind flange, bolts and nuts
- Internals: inlet baffle on hanger rods, gravel / sand / anthracite media layers, under-bed collector with 8 laterals and strainer caps
- Skid frame: rails, cross members, four legs, foot plates and support lugs
- Inlet and outlet piping with two wafer butterfly valves (studs and nuts), two pressure gauges, end flanges and a pipe support
FILES INCLUDED:
- STEP (.step) - neutral CAD exchange file
- STL (.stl) - mesh file
- FreeCAD native (.FCStd)
- Gallery images: iso, front, top and exploded views
These are STEP, STL and FreeCAD files, not SolidWorks, Fusion 360 or Inventor native files.
I take on 3D modelling of process equipment, vessels, skids and piping assemblies, with exploded views and renderings. Contact me to talk about your project.
