Filter press automation of cake discharge
Conventional horizontal filter presses suffer from one major disadvantage, i.e., operators must be present during cake discharge to assure that all cakes are removed (to avoid potential leakage and/or damage). …
Sieves, strainers and reusable filters
Straining and sludge/process dewatering in industry is normally accomplished by a variety of intake water strainers, by sand filters and by filter presses and automatic pressure filters, as well as centrifuges, belt presses and screw presses. General wastewater removal techniques for industrial streams along with specific nuclear plant wastewater treatments and sintered metal filters are also discussed
