Frame filter press MURANO

automaticfor sludge treatment

Press filters are used more frequently each time, despite the discontinuous character of their operation and their high investment cost. Their development is explained by the following reasons, 1.-Increasingly mechanization of the appliances up to the point to need a mimimum of manpower or supervision for the tortas discharge operations or for the washing of fabrics. (In situ automatic washing). 2.-Necessity to obtain tortas of great dryness, to allow: - La autocombustion of sludges in their incineration. - The reduction if the fuel consumption in the case of thermal dry. - A more confortable discharge. - The use of sludges as acarreo material. - A limitation in the transportation costs of the dehydratated sludges. The press filter is the only equipment which guarantees very high effective pressures (16 bars and above), with which maximum dryness of torta is achieved. (Generally above 30 %).
