BELT PRESS
Description
Wide range of Belt Filter Presses to match any plant size, keeping in mind the following key features :
- high quality components (only stainless steel construction),
- low energy consumption and operating cost,
- clean operation,
- operators safety devices,
- easy access for supervision and maintenance,
- visual control of the sludge during dewatering.
Principle of Operation
- Sludge is conditioned with polyelectrolyte , and sometimes with mineral additives (lime, talc …).
- Flocculated sludge is evenly distributed across the belts then dewatered by compression and shearing effects between 2.
- The filtrate water forced through the belts is caught in tray systems
- The floc must be quite voluminous due to the mesh opening of the belts (to avoid sludge going through the belts) and the floc structure must be
resistant under pressure. - To avoid clogging, filtration belts are washed continuously with clean water, under 7 bar pressure, and considering 6 m³/h per meter of belt
width.
