Sludge Dewatering Filter Press

Filter presses are effective in extracting water from sludge. These devices function under feed pressure and can employ either concave or membrane plates to segregate substantial quantities of solids from the sludge. As the wastewater traverses the plates, the discharge mechanism and filter media capture the solid particles. The wastewater slurry persists in flowing into the system until all the water has been expelled. The residual solids consolidate into a dry cake, which is then gathered in a basin for subsequent disposal.

How does a filter press work?

Filling

During the filling phase, the press fills with slurry and distributes it evenly across the filter plates.

Filtration

As the pressure increases, the mixture is pressed against the filter cloth, separating the water from the solids.

Reaching

When the filter chamber is completely filled with filter cake, the cycle ends and can be reset.

Features

Higher dryness.

Substantial reduction in sludge volume, resulting in a significant reduction in transportation and disposal costs.

Low reagent consumption.

Low power consumption

Long service life.

The equipment is easy to operate and requires little maintenance.

Suitable for all kinds of sludge, including industrial sludge and municipal sludge.
