Heavy-duty filter presses for sludge dewatering — up to 90% volume reduction to a dry filter cake.
CWG’s filter presses dewater the sludge and slurry produced in wastewater treatment and chemical and mineral processing. Most treatment processes produce sludge or slurry commonly disposed of as a liquid waste; this can be dehydrated in a filter press via sludge dewatering, achieving up to a 90% reduction in sludge volume. In most cases the sludge is conditioned with polyelectrolyte and then dewatered to produce a solid, dry filter cake.
CWG filter presses feature heavy-duty steel construction with polypropylene gasketed plates. They can be manufactured with manual or automatic closures — always with a hydraulic cylinder for sure, high-pressure closing — and are always expandable for larger future capacity by adding longer sidebars and additional plates.
Share your sludge type and volume and CWG will size the right filter press.
