The standard Process Engineers Belt Filter Press is three meters wide and is sized to handle up to 30 (US) dry tons per hour of solids.  Other sizes are available upon request for lesser tonnages.

A typical application would be to press excess water from underflow slurry pumped to the Belt Filter Press from a high capacity water clarifier.  The solids are pumped to the Belt Filter Press system from the clarifier at a constant flow and density by way of our proprietary density control system. 

The water pressed out of the mud is collected below the unit in a sump and is returned back to the clarifier for a closed loop water cycle, minimizing the loss of water with the dewatered solids. 

The solids are dewatered on the Belt Filter Press to a cake dryness of up to 60-70% solids by weight, depending upon the characteristics of the solids, making the product conveyable and/or truckable to an off-site location (see picture, bottom left). 

The use of a Belt Filter Press gives a plant the ability to run with no settling or storage ponds. 

The system comes standard with a NEMA 4 control panel, containing all motor starters, controls, automation and alarms for the belt press and feed package.
