They are the most cost-effective sludge dewatering systems for use in high sludge, medium or large sized plants. Solid-liquid separation of the sludge is made between the rotating drums and the mud bands in the Belt Press system, which operates continuously. The dewatering efficiency of the sludge compressed at low and high pressure with drums of different diameters is quite high. After the sludge cake, whose water is filtered by applying different pressures on the sludge bands, is removed from the system, the mud bands are washed with automatic self-cleaning nozzles in order to increase the filtration efficiency. Filtration and backwash waters are conveyed to the waste water treatment plant by a discharge line. The sludge cake formed is removed from the system by transferring it to containers or conveyor belts according to customer demand.
