Product Overview
CM Aquatechnik supplies recessed-plate automatic filter presses for mechanical sludge dewatering from municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants. Filter presses produce sludge cake with dry solids content of 20–40%, reducing sludge volume by 5–10× compared to gravity thickening alone — dramatically lowering disposal or incineration costs.
Key Features
- Recessed plate design produces dry cakes up to 40% DS — maximising volume reduction
- Automatic plate shifting for fast discharge without manual intervention
- Polypropylene plates resist acid, alkaline, and chemical sludges
- Optional cloth washing system extends cloth life and reduces replacement frequency
- Membrane squeeze option increases cake dryness by an additional 3–8% DS
- Integrated sludge feed pump (centrifugal or mono) supplied as standard
Applications
Municipal WWTP sludge dewatering
Industrial wastewater sludge treatment
Mining and mineral processing
Chemical and pharmaceutical sludge
Food processing sludge dewatering
Water treatment plant sludge management
