Slurry Treatment & Dewatering Solutions

Chamber presses

Chamber Filter Press

Plate-and-frame dewatering for construction and industrial slurry.

Sized from your filtration test: plate size, chamber depth and cycle time follow the slurry, not a catalogue.

Product overview

The chamber press is the workhorse of slurry dewatering: a stack of recessed plates pressed together by a hydraulic closing unit, fed with conditioned slurry until the chambers fill with cake.

DELIAN sizes the press from three numbers — the solids the slurry carries, the volume you have to move per shift, and the dry solids the cake has to reach. Everything else (plate size, chamber depth, filter cloth, automation level) follows from those.

Key features & options

  • Sized from the slurry test

    Plate size, chamber depth and cycle time are chosen from your solids and throughput, not from a stock list.

  • Stainless filtrate and drip tray

    Corrosion-resistant wetted parts for bentonite and construction slurry.

  • Cloth and plate serviceability

    Plates and cloths can be changed without dismantling the closing unit.

  • Plant-ready skid

    Hydraulic power pack, control cabinet and walkway arrive as one tested assembly.

  • 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.
