The belt filter, currently considered the world's most efficient and cheapest in operation, is a device for the removal of slurries from wastewater and simultaneous dewatering of sediment.
Principles of Operation:
The process of removing slurries consists of leaching sludge during transport on a filter net, from which the sludge is discharged into the screw thickener by compressed air. The dehydrated sludge has low humidity (often below 70) which facilitates further disposal.
Equipment:
- Air blower for blow belt
- Hot water Washing System
Advantages
- Reducing the consumption of chemicals compared to Rotositami
- No servicing, except maintenance only 1-2 hours per week
