Industrial Sludge Dewatering
Process and wastewater sludge dewatering, with the filtration cycle matched to the sludge chemistry.
Automatic Filter Press
Automated filtration cycles for continuous industrial operation.
The cycle runs itself: feed, filtration, plate shifting, cake discharge and cloth washing, with one operator covering the plant.
- Filtration area
- 10 – 200 m²
- Filtration pressure
- 0.6 – 1.6 MPa
- Capacity range
- 5 – 100 m³/h slurry feed
Product overview
An automatic press runs the cycle from a program instead of from an operator walking the plate stack. Feed, filtration, plate shifting, discharge and cloth washing follow a sequence timed from the filtration test.
The point is not only labor: a repeatable cycle gives repeatable cake moisture, which is what a plant treating sludge around the clock actually needs.
Key features & options
-
Programmed sequence
One recipe per sludge; the cycle repeats without an operator on the platform.
-
Automatic plate shifting
The plate mover walks the stack at the speed the cake needs.
-
Integrated cloth washing
Washing runs as part of the cycle where the sludge blinds the cloth.
-
One operator per shift
Controls and alarms are arranged for a plant with several presses.
-
Manual plate shifting
For low-throughput sites or where the press runs a short shift.
-
Semi-automatic
Motorised plate shifting with local control of the cycle.
-
Automatic plate shifting
Programmed sequence for continuous operation and one-man plants.
-
Containerised
Press, pump, dosing and control room inside a sea container for quick site moves.
-
Membrane retrofit
Membrane plates on the same frame where higher dry solids are needed.
-
Wash-down package
Cloth washing, drip trays and bunded skid for urban sites.

|---|---|
| Plate size | 1000 × 1000 mm · 1250 × 1250 mm on request |
| Filtration pressure | 0.6 – 1.6 MPa |
| Cycle time | 20 – 60 min |
| Automation level | Automatic plate shifting and cake discharge |
| Control system | PLC with HMI and remote diagnostics |

| Installed power | 11 – 45 kW |
| Weight (empty) | 5 – 28 t |
| Footprint | roughly 6 × 2.5 m per unit |
| Filter cake | Discharged to a skip or conveyor; dry solids depend on the slurry and the cycle. |
| Filtrate | Clear enough to return to the slurry tank; the reuse point sets the clarity target. |

Frequently asked questions
Usually two to three automatic presses per shift, once the recipe for each sludge has been set.
Often yes — the frame and closing unit stay, the plate mover and controls change.
A level foundation or skid, three-phase power, water for cloth washing and a place to put the cake.
