Technical description
Belt press Compacteron is composed of:
- supporting frame
- inflow homogenization tank
- system of cylinders
- belt filters
- unit for flocculant preparation and dosing
- sludge pump
- high pressure pump for wash water
- two sets of wash jets
- electromotor with gearbox and variator
- air compressor
- tubs for filtrated water
- chute for dewatered sludge
After mixing with flocculant the sludge is brought tangentially into homogenization tank (2), from where it is evenly spread onto the belt in the zone of gravitation dewatering (11). Filtrated water from this zone outflows into upper tub (3) and further into middle (4) and bottom tub (5). The sludge continues into a zone of forced dewatering as it is brough between two belt filters (7, 8) that go through the system of cylinders, thus inflicting intense dewatering. Filtrate is taken off through middle (4) and bottom tub (5) into denitrification or pumping station. The filtrated sludge is removed from the belts using scraper bars and falls through a chute (6) onto a belt conveyor which transports the sludge cake into a storage container. The belts are cleansed by water from wash jets (9) with pressure of cca 6 bar. The system of wash jets is fastened with rapid couplings so it can be quickly detached and cleaned when needed. The drive cylinders are rubbered. The drive cylinders are rotated by electromotor with gearbox and variator thus enabling adjustment of belt velocity according to characteristic of sludge. Centering of the belts is ensured by pneumatic mechanisms (10).
