This is how the Sobye belt filter works The untreated water is led into the filter and the particles are separated when the water passes through the filter fabric. The screen fabric rotates when it needs cleaning. The fabric is cleaned principally by brush and then flushed at a high pressure, which is both cheaper and in many respects better than air cleaning. The particles separated by the brush are transported internally in the filter to a press that de-waters the sludge to a very high dry content. The waste water is drained out of the filter separately and can normally be led back to the incoming water. Compact and efficient The Sobye filter has an exceptionally high filtering capacity in relation to its small size. It is therefore an excellent choice when space is limited and it provides savings because no large structures or tanks need to be built. The filter fits well into an existing facility and is also suitable as a channel filter. The filter tank casing is made of stainless steel (EN1.4404) and wetted parts are IP-67 rated. Low operating costs The fact that the Sobye filter uses an integrated brush for cleaning the filter fabric means no compressor or pump is required. Competitors’ belt filters using compressed air for cleaning require energy-consuming compressors that are expensive both to purchase and operate. Many application areas For more than 25 years Sobye belt filters have been installed on more than 200 sites and used for applications including fish processing, fish farming and pre-filtering of municipal waste water. Flexible and robust construction The Sobye filter is available in three standard versions with different capacities.
