Product catalog summary
Overview
The Tube Press Booster Range is a high-pressure mechanical dewatering system designed for efficient liquid-solid separation. It operates at pressures up to 100 bar, making it suitable for applications requiring low cake moisture and high filtrate recovery.

Specifications
The system is available in three sizes: SC500 3m/200, SC500 1.5m/100, and SC500 1.2m/75, all capable of operating at up to 100 bar. The design includes corrosion-resistant materials and a unique drive unit with an oil hydraulic power pack.

Principle of Operation
Filtration occurs between two concentric cylinders, with hydraulic fluid pressurizing the slurry to facilitate filtration. The process includes air purge and optional cake wash, enhancing the separation efficiency.

Applications
The Tube Press is ideal for industries dealing with fine particles, requiring low cake moisture, or where filtrate is a valued product. Typical applications include coal fines, calcium carbonate, gypsum residues, and various mineral concentrates.

Features and Benefits
  • Low cake moisture and excellent separation efficiency.
  • Compact design for easy installation and expansion.
  • Fully optimized control system with feedback and statistical analysis.
  • Environmental advantages with high recovery rates.
  • Maintenance-friendly with few moving parts.

Control System
The system is operated via a monitor connected to a PLC, allowing for automatic or manual operation. It includes a weighing system for process control and statistics, with options for dynamic self-optimization.

Technical Data
  • SC500 1.2m/75: 75L chamber, 1.35m² filter area, 7.5kW power.
  • SC500 1.5m/100: 100L chamber, 1.73m² filter area, 7.5kW power.

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 •...
