The product is distributed continuously and evenly on the lower belt via the feeding box. The cake height and width can be customized according to the individual product. There are also various feeding systems to ensure optimum product infeed. T he product is pressed onto the wedge zone with the upper belt. A stable product cake is produced by slowly increasing pressure. In the pressing area, cake dewatering is initially carried out via a special profiled roller, which ensures quick liquid drainage to both sides of the press cake. he product is then efficiently dewatered via press rolls with...
