VFP

The sediment thickened in the lamella clarifier is conveyed into the chamber filter press via a compressed air diaphragm pump. The filtrate water runs off via a drip channel and is fed back into the production cycle. The desired degree of dryness of the filter cake is automatically monitored by a water sensor. As soon as the degree of drying is reached, the pressure is released via a relief valve and the press opens hydraulically. The filter cake is then emptied into the container below by a vibrating system.

Ideal for small to medium-sized businesses with regular sludge production - especially where a simple and robust dewatering solution is required.

• Hydraulic opening and closing of the filter plates
• Automatic pressure relief via 3-way valve
• Positioning sensor for plate pack
• Vibrating beam with pneumatic cylinder for filter cake emptying
• Compressed air diaphragm pump for abrasive sludge
• Monitoring of the degree of drying via water sensor
• Siemens PLC with control panel
• Extensive parameterization for individual adaptation
• Optional control modules, e.g. for dosing pumps
• In-house developed ECS VFP software with over 25 years of experience

The following flow chart shows the complete cleaning and process sequence of the VFP system. It illustrates the function of all components in their optimal coordination.
