Industrial filter press for dewatering and filtration

Optimize your dewatering and filtration needs with a highly adaptable press system, enhancing process control and efficiency across diverse applications with modular and customizable options.

Processes Filtration and Dewatering Tasks Efficiently

The ANDRITZ sidebar and overhead filter presses are engineered for optimal filtration and dewatering in a variety of industries such as mining, chemical processing, and food production. Utilizing innovative membrane and chamber technologies, these presses ensure reliable separation of solids from liquids, crucial for producing high-quality end-products like copper concentrate and refined vegetable oils. They operate with filtration pressures ranging from 7 to 30 bar and accommodate diverse production scales with sizes up to 2,500 x 2,500 mm. Designed for seamless integration into existing systems, they offer flexibility with manual to fully automatic configurations and remote management through the Metris addIQ automation system. Energy efficiency is enhanced with low power consumption, and material variants include stainless steel for exceptional corrosion resistance. Easy customization and a modular design approach allow for tailored solutions meeting specific operational requirements while minimizing downtime with maintenance-friendly features.
