Vacuum belt filter for sludge and suspension filtration
In industrial processes where efficient filtration and dewatering of sludges and suspensions are needed, traditional methods may fall short. Challenges include achieving precise separation of solid particles and managing capacity fluctuations without excessive manual adjustments.

Efficiently filter and dewater sludges and suspensions
The vacuum belt filter from Spaleck is designed to meet the rigorous demands of the process industry. It effectively filters and dewaters various forms of sludges and suspensions with precision. The system includes optional press and cake washing functions to ensure thorough separation of substances. With lab tests conducted prior to installation, the optimal setup is tailored to specific needs. Pilot units are available for on-site trial runs. The modular and optimized construction minimizes footprint while the sturdy build with few moving parts decreases maintenance needs. The only wear part is the filter cloth, making upkeep straightforward. Post-filtration, water can be redirected to water treatment facilities.
Benefits
- Space-saving due to modular design
- Robust construction with minimal moving parts
- Easy adaptation to capacity changes
- Simple maintenance with only the filter cloth as the wear part
- Water can be processed for further use
