FILTER PRESS

Product catalog summary
Process Description
The filter press sludge dewatering process involves closing the filter press using a hydraulic system, pumping sludge into chambers, and forming cakes as solids are trapped on cloth surfaces. Filtration pressure increases until maximum pressure is reached, after which the sludge pump stops and compressed air cleans the central duct. The filter press then opens to discharge the cakes.
Operational Stages
The pressing cycle time varies depending on sludge type, with inert solids requiring shorter cycles than biological sludge. The process includes stages of filter press closure, filling, filtration, and cake unloading.
Execution Options
Open execution allows for easy inspection and quick identification of damaged fabrics, while closed execution prevents contamination, making it suitable for hazardous products.
Advantages and Applications
Draco® Filter Presses offer high dryness, reducing sludge management costs and facilitating easy transport and stacking. They operate reliably 24/7 with minimal maintenance and water consumption, applicable in wastewater treatment, stone and aggregate processing, and chemical industries.
Technical Specifications
Various models are available with different numbers of plates and chambers, dimensions, weights, and filtering capacities. The equipment is designed for high performance with automatic operation and features like GRP side guards and cake blowing circuits.
Model Details
Each model has specific dimensions, weights, and filtering capacities, with options for semi-automatic and automatic filter presses. Constructed with materials like ST-37/AISI-304 and finished with epoxy paint, ensuring durability and resistance.
Specifications
The manual filter press specifications include dimensions, materials, and operational parameters. The frame is made of ST-37/AISI-304 with an epoxy paint finish, and the actuator is automatic. The working pressure is 8 Bars, and the equipment is painted in RAL 2011.
Technical Data
Key technical data includes a pump flow rate of 28+4.5 l/m, a tank volume of 75 l, and power of 4 Kw. The filter press is designed for a cake thickness of 32 mm.
Included Equipment
The FPA model includes GRP side guards, a filtered water collection channel, pressurized air connection, cake blowing circuit, emergency stop by cable, and hydraulic oil. A compressor is not included.
Documentation and Certification
Documentation is available in specific languages and complies with ISO regulations. The equipment comes with CE, factory test, quality, sealing, and material certificates, as well as welding and hydraulic group certifications.
Optional Features
Optional equipment includes a conveyor belt, sludge conditioning tank, lime hopper, drip tray, and cake shaker. The distribution panel and control screen are also optional.
Model Selection
Guidance is provided for selecting the appropriate filter press model based on sludge volume, dry matter, and working hours per day. An example calculation is given for a sludge volume of 7m3/day at 6% dryness, resulting in 420 kg of dry matter and a cake volume of 1.4 m3/day at 30% dryness.
Global Presence
Toro Equipment has a global presence with references in numerous countries, including Algeria, Argentina, Australia, and many others.
Contact Information
Contact details for Toro Equipment are provided, including phone number, email, and website, along with factory and office locations in Valladolid, Spain.

Process Description Dosage AUTOMATIC FILTER PRESS CLEAN WATER Poly Emulsion Polyelectrolyte emulsion plant Sludge Conditioning Tank The filtration cycle shall start with the filter press closed. 1. FILTER PRESS CLOSURE: The start of the filtering cycle begins with the closing of the filter press. The moving plate is activated by the hydraulic system and moves, closing the filter at the required working pressure, which is controlled by a pressure switch located in the hydraulic circuit. 2. FILLED: Pumping of sludge into the filter press begins. The chambers fill with sludge and the formation of...

Select your Filter Press HOW TO DETERMINE THE SIZE OF THE FILTER PRESS YOU NEED? Design details: • Sludge volume per day. • Kg of dry matter. • No. of working hours per day. The followoing is an example of pressing without lime, knowing that the dryness we are going to obtain is 30%. Input data: sludge volume of 7m3/day, at 6% dryness In order to obtain the kg of dry matter, we have to multiply the volume by the dryness. The result is 420 kg of dry matter. The dryness of the cake at the exit will be 30%. Therefore we will have 1.4 m3/day of cakes at 30% = 1,400 l/day. If we want to carry out...
