Belt Filter Press

Belt Filter Press

Belt filter presses are used to remove water from liquid wastewater residuals and produce a non-liquid material referred to as “cake.” Dewatering wastewater solids reduces the volume of residuals, improves operation, and reduces costs for subsequent storage, processing, transfer, end use, or disposal among other benefits. For dewatering the sludge produced by average and big W.W.T.P., we suggest the use of MONOBELT, the perfect combination into one belt filter press. The machine is composed of two units, the pre-thickener and the sludge press. The pre-thickener rotary drum with Archimedean screw inside performs the initial solid/liquid separation stage, taking Sludge Solids concentration from 0.5 – 3% up to 5 – 15%.

A BFP combines drainage and mechanical pressure sequentially to remove water. The equipment normally comprises 2−3 recirculating belts, with two belts combining at some point to compress the sludge and squeeze water from it. The conditioned sludge feed is first conveyed along a gravity drainage section of one of the porous belts, as with a gravity belt thickener. It is then subject to pressure as it is passed between two recirculating belts, forming a wedge zone at the inlet, which travel over a roller. This squeezing action from the two belts in this pressure zone releases more water.

Advantages:

  • Belt filter presses can handle a variety of sludge types, including railway, oil, and diatomite-treated wastewater sludge. Some kinds of filter presses can’t process as well as a belt filter press, but it can.
  • It is low-cost energy. The belt filter press does have the same effect of the treatment as some other filter presses under same conditions, but it uses 1/3 the water and uses 1/3 the energy of other equipment.
  • The belt filter press takes up barely half of the equipment due to its unique design. It delivers the same result as the other filter presses when it comes to treatment.
  • The filter belt used with the machine is extremely strong and has a short length. It is difficult to damage because to the unique adjustability construction. The filter belt does have a high durability and performs consistently. In place of traditional carbon steel bearings, high-strength stainless steel bearings have been employed. The equipment’s corrosion resistance has substantially enhanced, and its service life can now surpass ten years.
  • The functioning of the belt filter press is also not as difficult as other filter presses due to its basic structure and acceptable design; even regular workers can run it.
  • Unlike other filter presses, the belt filter press doesn’t really run on a continuous basis. The belt filter press can run for up to 24 hours on a single charge.
