Hydrotech - Belt Filter
The Hydrotech Belt filter is made for efficient filtration and drainage of sludge and wastewater. It is an automatic, self-cleaning filter specially designed to achieve optimal performance in systems where high solids content in the dewatered sludge is essential.
- Cost-effective technology
- Small physical footprint
- Simple to operate and maintain
- Product flexibility
- Sturdy, compact design
Sludge or wastewater is led into the filter (1) and passes by gravity through the filter belt (2). The belt is designed as a slowly moving conveyer installed in a stainless steel tank. As the water passes through the filter, the filtering process ensures the efficient removal of particles. These particles are drained on the belt to a high dry matter content. The dewatered sludge is removed at the top of the filter (3) and discharged through a hopper (4) for final treatment. Dewatered sludge is scraped off the belt which is cleaned by a high-pressure backwash system* (5) and the rinse water is led either back to the process or to further treatment. (*Backwash unit retracted for visibility.)
The Belt filter is typically operated intermittently, controlled by a level switch.
PR Aqua will work with you to identify the best filtration solution for your needs, whether it is a new piece of equipment or simply the right parts to maintain your existing unit.
