Tube press – Booster range

2 Tube press booster range

High pressure mechanical dewatering General The tube press is a fully automated variable chamber, filter press designed in a cylindrical format and capable of operating at high filtration pressures up to 100 bar. The use of these high pressures enables a higher degree of separation of the liquid and solid phases. The tube press is typically suitable for applications: • Where protection of the environmental conditions are important • Where energy consumption is significant i.e. thermal drying is used for the separation • Where the product consists of very fine particles, difficult to dewater •...
