Vacuum Belt Filter
Vacuum filtration for high dry matter content
Our vacuum belt filters offer a powerful mechanical solution for sludge dewatering and solids separation. Using negative pressure and a continuously moving filter belt, we extract residual moisture from even difficult-to-filter streams. The result: a compact, dry filter cake that significantly reduces your transport and processing costs.
Continuous operation
No downtime, no lost production. Our vacuum belt filters run uninterrupted, even at high throughput capacities. The filter cloth is continuously cleaned and the belt automatically adjusted, ensuring optimal filtration results without external intervention.
Targeted dewatering
From mineral solids to metal hydroxide sludge, from chemical precipitates to industrial wastewater sludge: our vacuum belt filter adapts to your sludge stream. Durable materials (stainless steel or specialty plastics) and intelligent process automation make this possible.
Benefits of Morselt Vacuum Belt Filter
- High dry matter content: the vacuum thoroughly extracts residual moisture, saving you on disposal costs
- Continuous operation: uninterrupted filtration without belt stoppage
- Integrated cake washing (optional): recovery of valuable materials and salt washing possible
- Low maintenance requirements: robust construction and careful belt guidance guarantee long filter service life
- Automatic belt regulation: prevents belt slip and ensures consistent process
- Continuous cloth cleaning: high-pressure cleaning maintains throughput capacity
- Fully automatic control: PLC regulation dynamically adjusts belt speed, vacuum, and filter cake thickness
Technical specifications (standard)
- Operating principle: continuous vacuum filtration via horizontally moving filter belt
- Pressure application: electropneumatic negative pressure via suction chambers under the belt
- Material selection: stainless steel or specialty plastics for corrosive media
- Belt regulation: electropneumatic guidance with automatic center correction
- Cloth cleaning: high-pressure rinsing systems during the return run
- Control: PLC-controlled full automation
- End product: compact filter cake with high dry matter content
