KOMLINE-SANDERSON KOMPRESS SERIES III BELT FILTER PRESS

The Komline-Sanderson Kompress Belt Filter is a broadly applicable product for dewatering municipal Biosolids

Komline-Sanderson's Kompress Series III Belt Filter Press is available in a three-belt (Model G-GRSL), a two-belt (Model GRS) and an extended gravity two-belt (Model GRSL) design. The three-belt G-GRS press has an independent gravity zone with a more open belt for more rapid drainage of the volume of water. The extended gravity design has a longer gravity drainage zone. Selection of the basic machine is a function of the type of sludge and feed solids.

Typically, a belt filter press receives a slurry ranging from 1-4% feed solids and produces a final product of 12-35% cake solids. Performance depends on the nature of the solids being processed.

A Belt Filter Press is a Biosolids/sludge dewatering device that applies mechanical pressure to a chemically conditioned slurry, which is sandwiched between two (2) tensioned belts, by passing those belts through a serpentine of decreasing diameter rolls. The machine can actually be divided into three (3) zones: gravity zone, where free draining water is drained by gravity through a porous belt; wedge zone, where the solids are prepared for pressure application; and pressure zone, where medium, then high pressure is applied to the conditioned solids.
