Belt Filter

Belt Filter Press

The Three Wire Belt Filter Press from SPIL is a continuous, high‑efficiency sludge dewatering system engineered for demanding industrial and municipal applications. Designed to deliver consistent, high‑ quality solids capture with low energy consumption and minimal chemical usage, the system produces final cake solids in the 25–40% range depending on feed characteristics.

How it Works

From feed to solid cake : controlled, continuous dewatering

The unit operates across three progressive zones to maximise dewatering performance:

Gravity Zone

A VFD‑driven headbox provides uniform sludge distribution across the belt while a poly pickplow arrangement gently thickens feed from typical raw concentrations of 1–2% up to 10–15% solids.

Wedge Zone

A precision wedge profile hydrofoil and dewatering roll remove free water and accelerate solids consolidation without excessive shear.

Press Zone

Pneumatically actuated press rolls, also VFD controlled for consistent throughput, apply controlled pressure to achieve the final cake solids.
