Introduction:
This efficient, energy and space-saving filter belt press
offers the most economic way of drying sludge, in terms of both
capital and running costs.
The system is made up of two parts: pre-separator and filter belt
press. The sludge to be dried is pumped into the pre-separator
where the poly-electrolite solution mixed with the sludge flocculates.
Some water is separated in the drum where the sludge flow discharging
into the filter belt is also balanced. An even sludge load optimizes
the pressing process and the capacity.
Water removal continues on the filter belt. The filter belt is
controlled automatically by pneumatic adjustment of the compression
force. The pressure gradually increases as the sludge advances
from the free discharge zone to the compression zone. Both upper
and lower filter belts have their own drive rollers which increases
the operational reliability of the press.
Splashing and odour nuisance is eliminated. Because of the closed
construction, the odours generated are led straight to the exhaust
system. The side covers of the device can be opened if necessary,
which ensures that all parts of the system can be easily dealt
with when required.
Because of automatic pre and post washing of the drum, filter
belt and water collector tray, there is minimal cleaning and maintenance
required.
