Belt Filter

A Belt Filter is a continuous solid-liquid separation device commonly used in industrial applications requiring high-efficiency dewatering of slurries. Utilizing a moving filter belt, it effectively separates liquids from solid materials, producing a dry cake for disposal or further processing.

These filters are widely used in industries such as mining, chemical processing, wastewater treatment, and food production. Their ability to handle large volumes, combined with automation and low maintenance requirements, makes them an efficient and cost-effective choice for industrial filtration needs.

How It Works

The Belt Filter operates on a continuous cycle where slurry is evenly distributed onto a moving porous filter belt. A vacuum or pressure system draws the liquid through the belt while retaining the solid particles. This results in efficient dewatering and consistent separation of fine particles.

Some models include an integrated washing section to remove impurities or recover valuable materials. Once dewatering is complete, the solid filter cake is discharged at the end of the belt for further processing or disposal. The automated operation ensures uninterrupted performance with minimal human intervention.
