Product Overview

The Belt Filter Press offered by ArCh Enviro is a reliable sludge dewatering system engineered to process sludge with low solids concentration, typically ranging from 0.8% to 3% dry solids (DS). It is designed for continuous operation and is ideal for treating sludge from clarification tanks in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants. With flow capacities reaching up to 40 m³/h per meter of belt width, depending on sludge characteristics, the Belt Filter Press delivers consistent performance with minimal maintenance.

Working Principle

The Belt Filter Press operates by applying mechanical pressure to sludge between two tensioned porous belts, allowing water to drain through while retaining solids. The sludge initially undergoes gravity drainage, followed by wedge and pressure zones where it is progressively compressed between rollers. The result is a cake with significantly reduced water content, suitable for transport or further treatment.

Operational Advantages

Continuous operation for uninterrupted sludge handling
Energy-efficient with low power consumption
Minimal operator intervention required
Suitable for a wide range of sludge types
Fully enclosed versions available for odor and spray control
Supports integration into custom treatment systems
