Flottweg Belt presses

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Flottweg belt presses are designed for efficient and economical solid/liquid separation, particularly in the food industry. They offer high yields and cost-effective operation due to their robust design.

Uses and Benefits
Flottweg belt presses are used in the fruit and vegetable juice industry to improve recovery and yields. They are suitable for processing apple juice, berry juices, tropical fruit juices, and more. Additionally, they are used in the manufacture of by-products like pectin, potato pulp, and plant extracts. The presses optimize energy use through effective dewatering of fibrous solids.

Design and Operating Principle
The belt press operates by distributing the product evenly on a lower belt, pressing it with an upper belt, and dewatering it through a series of rollers. This process ensures efficient liquid drainage and high separation efficiency.

Features and Specifications
Flottweg belt presses are highly cost-effective due to their flexibility and performance. They feature automatic pneumatic belt track control, brush cleaning for filter belts, and are made of stainless steel for hygiene and durability. The machines are easy to maintain and operate, with high product yields and quality.

Technical Data
The belt presses come in various sizes (B-800 to B-2500) with hourly outputs ranging from 2 to 22 tons. They require specific electrical and pneumatic connections, and their throughput rates depend on the product and other parameters.

Flottweg Quality and Service
Flottweg ensures high-quality, durable machines made from rust- and acid-resistant stainless steels. They offer a 3-step roadmap for customer success, including consultation, pre-engineering tests, and detailed offers. Flottweg provides global service with over 1100 employees and more than 60 service centers worldwide.

USES AND BENEFITS Flottweg belt presses – for effective and economical solid/liquid separation in the food industry Belt filter presses are an economically attractive solution for the effective separation of liquid/solid suspensions. By combining dewatering and shearing with special filter belts, Flottweg belt presses can also be used to process products in which the liquid phase is bound in the cell tissue (e.g. organic fruit pulp, plant fibers, etc.). This process increases the separation efficiency, the yield of liquid, and the dry solid content in the pressed-out material. Hence, Flottweg...
