Belt filter presses are pressure filters with a continuous screen mesh as a filter means which filter in a two-step process. The first phase comprises a gravity filtration, the second a compaction of the pre-dewatered sludge between two screening belts which are guided around rollers.
The arrangement of the rollers and their diameter are decisive factors for the dewatering output. The FluX-Press was developed from this technological point of view in which you can obtain a gradual pressure increase on the sludge cake due to the optimized combination of rollers.
Within the range of a municipal application the FluX-Press achieves an output of between 300 and 500 kg solid matter per meter of the belt width.
