Belt Filter Presses

A Belt Filter Press allows for the continuous separation (de-watering) of solids from water based organic and mineral sludge and slurries. The filtration process is primarily achieved by passing a pair of filtering cloths and belts through a system of rollers.

The Belt Filter Press is used to dewater sludge from 1-6% solids and mineral slurries from 6-25% solids. The products processed are typically delivered to the Belt Filter Press via a positive displacement pump.

How does the Belt Filter Press actually operate?

Belt Filter Presses apply mechanical pressure to a chemically conditioned slurry, which is sandwiched between two tensioned belts, by passing those belts through a winding section of decreasing diameter rolls. The Belt Filter Press can actually be divided into three zones:

• Gravity zone - free draining water is drained by gravity through a porous belt
• Wedge zone - where solids are prepared for pressure application
• Pressure zone - where medium pressure and then high pressure is applied to the solids
