Filter Press

Designed for Long-Term Rugged Use

Reduce the solids dewatering costs and solid waste volume

Quickly transform the fluid waste stream into a solid state that will pass the slump test. Filter Presses consistently transform a liquid solution containing 2% to 5% of suspended solids into solid sludge cakes with 30% to 35% of solids content for easy disposal. Paired with a ConRec sludge dryer, the filter press is an important step in achieving Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD).

Minimize operator attention and let gravity do the work for you. Positioned over the dryer, the press will automatically unload sludge cakes when the press cycle is complete.

Presses consistently transform 2-5% liquid solution into 30-35% solid sludge cakes for easy disposal

For Long-Term Rugged Use to Match Your Process

With built-in fail-safe technology, ConRec filter presses withstand the harshest environmental conditions.

Size

Batch volume can range from half of a cubic foot to 100 cubic feet

Plate Sizes

Selection of plate is based on your waste volume and operating objectives , ranging sizes from 470 mm to 1500 mm

Leg Extensions

Can be equipped with leg extension allowing the installation of a sludge dryer directly beneath

Hydraulic Closure

Larger presses are equipped with a proprietary automatic hydraulic pump powered by plant compressed air, complete with an air filter, regulator and lubricator for smooth operation. Small presses with smaller batch loads can operate with manual hand-pump hydraulics

Controlled Pumping

Pump Pressure Control System (PPCS) initially gently feed sludge, coating the cloth with a thin even layer of solids. Feed pressure is increased in steps to ultimately fill the cavity between the plates with firm, solid filter cake.
The press reaches its maximum pressure at 80 PSI. Controlled escalation of sludge feed pressure delivers efficiency and prevents cloth plugging
