Chamber Filter Press
Plate-and-frame dewatering for construction and industrial slurry.
- Filtration area
- 10 – 250 m²
- Filtration pressure
- 0.6 – 1.6 MPa
- Capacity range
- 5 – 120 m³/h slurry feed
Microtunneling Slurry Treatment
Bentonite and construction slurry from microtunneling drives, screened, desanded and dewatered on site.
Urban microtunneling sites have no room for a settling pond and no time for tanker runs. The plant separates the sand, dewaters the fines and returns clear water to the slurry circuit.
- Typical capacity
- 20 – 120 m³/h
- Slurry type
- Bentonite / construction slurry
- Target cake
- 25 – 40 % dry solids
What the plant has to do
The plant stands on a steel platform behind the shaft, so muck skips keep the road and the crane radius clear. Sand is stacked separately, the cake leaves the site by truck and the filtrate returns to the slurry tank.
Recommended treatment process
Each stage is selected around the slurry and the disposal route.
- 01
Screening
A vibrating screen takes out stones and debris so the cyclones and the press stay clear.
- 02
Desanding
Hydrocyclones and a sand screw cut the sand fraction and stack it separately.
- 03
Conditioning
Flocculant is dosed in line so the fines form flocs that will not blind the cloth.
- 04
Filter press
Chamber presses dewater the conditioned fines into a transportable cake.
- 05
Water recovery
Clear filtrate returns to the slurry tank, which keeps the make-up water small.
Recommended equipment
Equipment is configured around the capacity, solids concentration and target cake moisture of your project.
Membrane Filter Press
Squeeze dewatering for higher dry solids and shorter cycles.
- Filtration area
- 10 – 200 m²
- Filtration pressure
- 0.6 – 1.6 MPa
- Capacity range
- 5 – 100 m³/h slurry feed
Automatic Filter Press
Automated filtration cycles for continuous industrial operation.
- Filtration area
- 10 – 200 m²
- Filtration pressure
- 0.6 – 1.6 MPa
- Capacity range
- 5 – 100 m³/h slurry feed
Operating considerations
Footprint and access
The plant usually stands behind the shaft on a steel platform so muck skips can still pass.
Water balance
Filtrate returns to the slurry tank; make-up follows the water that leaves with the cake.
Noise and hours
Pumps and the hydraulic unit are specified around the working hours your permit allows.
Frequently asked questions
Yes — the containerised configuration is designed to be lifted and moved between shafts.
The standard configuration stands on a platform of roughly 12 × 6 m. The layout is confirmed against your site drawing before the plant is built.
