Filter Presses

A Filter Press is most commonly used to dewater sludge generated from industrial wastewater treatment plants.

The Hydroflux chamber filter press is a batch system and is ideally suited to small to medium volumes of sludge. One of the key benefits to the filter press is the dry solids concentration that is unmatched by other dewatering technologies.

The nature of the pressurised dewatering processes lend the filter press to non-greasy applications such as the metal industry where dry solids concentrations in excess of 60% are possible

Hydroflux Industrial can supply various types of presses including standard plate and frame, membrane systems and semi automated in capacities up to 5000L.

The Filter Press offers several advantages over other dewatering systems:

  • Very dry filter cake
  • Operational requirements are very low
  • Capital cost is low
  • Maintenance is relatively simple and can usually be undertaken by a non- specialised maintenance team
  • Start up and shut down is quick and simple

Sludge generated by a DAF system is ideal for dewatering in a filter press 

A filter press consists of a number of plates in a steel frame held together by a hydraulic ram 

Once the dewatering cycle is complete, the filter cake can contain over 50% dry solids 

When the plates are opened, the filter cake drops onto the conveyor below

The dewatered cake is conveyed into a bin for off site disposal
