Belt press for industrial sludge dewatering
Achieve efficient sludge dewatering with minimal energy and polymer use, maximizing solids concentration and improving filtrate quality for enhanced operational efficiency.

Dewaters and Processes Sludge Efficiently
The AS-H Belt Press G2 from Alfa Laval is a robust sludge dewatering unit designed for both municipal and industrial wastewater treatment applications. What sets this equipment apart is its unique sludge/polymer mixer valve, ensuring thorough and uniform polymer integration into the sludge for optimal dewatering efficiency. Suitable for producing dewatered sludge cakes, biosolids, and treated wastewater solids, this unit efficiently processes sludge by employing a two-belt system.
Operating continuously, the AS-H Belt Press G2 achieves high-volume and high-solids loading, all while maintaining low polymer and power input. It features an adjustable wedge dewatering zone, progressively increasing pressure through eight specialized forged-end pressure rollers, which are epoxy-coated for corrosion resistance. The enclosed design contains odours and spillages, enhancing operational safety.
Integrating seamlessly into your processing line, the SmartPress™ Belt Tensioning System and Belt Alignment System automate tension and alignment adjustments, ensuring smooth operation without manual intervention. Available in galvanized carbon steel or stainless steel, this equipment also offers variable drive technology to optimize energy usage. With its easy-to-maintain design, including quick-to-clean polyethylene chicanes, the AS-H Belt Press G2 stands out as a cost-effective and reliable solution for efficient sludge management.
