Filter Press Draco®

Product catalog summary
Process Description
The filtering cycle starts with the closure of the filter press using a hydraulic system. Sludge is pumped into chambers, forming cakes as solids are retained on the cloth surface. Filtration pressure increases until the sludge pump stops, followed by compressed air cleaning, and the filter press opens to discharge the cakes.
Automatic Sludge Dewatering
Cycle time varies by sludge type, with waste solids needing shorter cycles than food industry sludge. The system is designed for easy inspection, troubleshooting, and cleaning, and is suitable for hazardous products.
Draco® Compact Equipment
Draco® filter presses can be containerized for quick installation and transport, requiring minimal space. Testing units are available for specific applications.
Advantages and Applications
Draco® Filter Presses achieve high dryness, reducing sludge management costs and improving handling. They operate automatically with low water consumption and maintenance costs, suitable for industries like wastewater, stone, aggregates, and food and beverage.
Technical Specifications
Specifications vary by model, detailing the number of plates, chambers, dimensions, weight, filter area, and cake volume. Made from materials like ST-37/AISI-304 with an epoxy paint finish, they operate at 8 bars pressure.
Standard Equipment and Options
Standard features include protective covers, documentation, and certificates. Optional features include washing systems, conveyor belts, and sludge conditioning tanks.
Selecting a Filter Press
Consider sludge volume per day, dry matter, and working hours to select the appropriate filter press size. An example calculation shows pressing without lime achieves 30% dryness.
Specifications
To obtain 420 kg of dry matter from a substance with 6% initial dryness, multiply the volume by the dryness percentage. The output cake should have 30% dryness, resulting in 1.4 m3/day or 1,400 liters/day of cakes.
Procedures
For 4 pressing cycles per day, the volume per cycle is 355 liters. The recommended equipment is the FPA 80/25 Filter Press.
Worldwide References
The equipment is referenced in countries like Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Spain, USA, and others.

Process Description Automatic sludge dewatering Filter press operation: Filtering cycle will start with the filter press closed. 1. CLOSURE OF FILTER PRESS. The initial phase of the filtering cycle starts with the closure of filter press. Movable plate is triggered by hydraulic system and is moved closing the filter at the pressure needed for the work, which is controlled with a pressure switch positioned in hydraulic circuit. 2. FILLING. Starts the sludge pumping to filter press. Chambers are filled with sludge and starts the formation of cakes. Solid particles are retained on the cloth’s surface,...

Select your Filter Press dHow to determine the size of theFilter Press you need?? Design Details: • Sludge volume per day. • Kg of dry matter. • No. of working hours per day. The following is an example of pressing without lime knowing that the dryness obtained is 30%. Input data: Sludge volume 7m3/day, at 6% dryness In order to obtain kg of dry matter, we have to multiply the volume by dryness. The result is 420-kg of dry matter. Dryness of output cake should be 30%. Therefore, we get 1.4 m3/day of cakes at 30% = 1,400 l/day. If we want to perform 4 pressing cycles per day: 1,400/4 = 355 l/cycle...
