The Kompressr Belt Filter Press from Komline is designed for efficient dewatering of municipal biosolids and industrial sludges. It features a three-zone operation, including a gravity zone for initial water drainage, a wedge zone for solid preparation, and a pressure zone for applying mechanical pressure to the conditioned slurry. The product is available in three configurations: a two-belt system (Model GRS), an extended gravity two-belt system (Model GRSL), and a three-belt system with an independent gravity zone (Model G-GRSL).
The two-belt system is suitable for sludges with feed solids concentrations of 1.5% and greater, while the extended gravity design is optimized for slow-draining sludges with concentrations between 1.5% and 2.5%. The three-belt system is intended for dilute sludges with concentrations below 1.5%. Key features include a polymer injection system for effective flocculation, self-bailing perforated drums to prevent rewetting of the cake, and Roto-Koner elements that enhance sludge separation. The frame is constructed from heavy-duty galvanized steel or stainless steel, ensuring durability and corrosion resistance.
Overall, the Kompressr Belt Filter Press offers flexibility in design and operation, making it a viable option for various sludge dewatering applications.
A Belt Filter Press is a sludge dewatering device that applies mechanical pressure to a chemically conditioned slurry, which is sandwiched between two (2) tensioned belts, by passing those belts through a serpentine of decreasing diameter rolls. The machine can actually be divided into three (3) zones: the gravity zone, where free draining water is drained by gravity through a porous belt; the wedge zone, where the solids are prepared for pressure application; and the pressure zone, where medium, then high pressure is applied to the conditioned solids.
Komline-Sanderson’s Kompress® Series III Belt Filter Press is available in a three-belt (Model G-GRSL), a two-belt (Model GRS) and an extended gravity two-belt (Model GRSL) design. The three-belt G-GRSL press has an independent gravity zone with a more open belt for more rapid drainage of the volume of water. The extended gravity design has a longer gravity drainage zone. Selection of the basic machine is a function of the type of sludge and feed solids.
