Filter Press Technology - Taking The Labor Out Of Your Sludge Dewatering
Filter press technology is taking the labor out of your sludge dewatering with capabilities of achieving greater than 50% solids in the compressed filter cake on many applications.
The next generation of filter presses has arrived. The latest filter press designs by Beckart Environmental:
Automatically control sludge pump feeds of wastewater solids/slurry, automatically staging a feed pump from 0-100 psi.
Fully automated filter press manifold valving is now available for feeding the press, blowing down the filter press and for shutting the filter press down so it can be emptied.
Fully automatic plate shifter with a programmable bump feature can empty a filter press without operator intervention. Safety and automation together.
A pair of Bombay doors serve as drip trays and filter cake guides – ideal for filter press that are elevated above a roll off container.
Electric hydraulic closures eliminate the maintenance and downtime associated with wet air in air over hydraulic systems.
Membrane filter presses are available for applications requiring higher solids and shorter cycles.
An auto plate wash will clean filter cloths without operator involvement.
Velcro style filter cloths allow for filter cloth changeouts in as little as 2 minutes per cloth.
When you are considering your sludge dewatering alternatives, consider the latest filter press features that take the labor out of sludge dewatering and allows for solids content up to and over 50%. Available capacities range from 2 cubic ft up to 250 cubic ft making the latest filter press designs suitable for applications where centrifuges, screw presses and belt presses were previously preferred.
The cost savings is real. Lower labor, higher solids and lower chemical/polymer costs than competing sludge dewatering technologies.
