Sludge Dewatering

Belt Press

Economical dewatering for large sludge volumes.

Belt Press

The belt press is a cost-effective dewatering machine for plants producing large amounts of sludge, working on the principle of two belts squeezing the sludge. In the pre-thickening screw, polyelectrolyte mixes with the sludge to form flocs; speed is adjusted to the flow by a frequency converter. The sludge is then spread on a low-pressure drainage zone and squeezed between press rollers and polyester belts. A mono-belt press offers much more economical operation than centrifuges, filter presses and double-belt presses.

Technical specifications

  • Belt width: 0.5–2.5 m
