Belt Filter Press

The PROCESS ENGINEERS Belt Filter Press is three meters wide and can handle up to 30 dry TPH of solids.  A typical application would be to press excess water out of solids pumped from a water clarifier tank.  The solids (usually -270 mesh) are settled in the clarifier with the use of polymers and are then pumped to a Belt Filter Press at a constant density.  The water pressed out of the mud is collected below the unit in a sump and is pumped back to the clarifier for a closed loop water cycle, losing minimal amounts to product.  After the solids are de-watered on the Belt Filter Press a cake dryness of 60-70% can be expected, making the product conveyable and/or truckable to an off-site location.  The use of a Belt Filter Press gives a plant the ability to run with NO SETTLING OR STORAGE PONDS.  The system comes standard with a NEMA 4 control panel, containing all motor starters, controls, automation, and alarms for the belt press and feed package.
