BELT PRESS G3

Features:
The G3 with independent gravity deck has the capability to take feed sludges that are less than 1% dry solids and thicken more efficiently in the gravity section, so that the sludge is better prepared for the high pressure zone. The independent gravity deck has the ability to run at different
speeds than the pressure zone, therefore, thinner sludges can be fed at high hydraulic feed rates to a faster moving belt on the gravity section. The result is a machine that is not limited to the standard hydraulic and loading rates of typical two belt machines.The 3-Belt machine is specifically designed for sludges with feed solids less than 1.5%, which means that the plant can eliminate the need for a gravity thickener or holding tank to thicken sludge prior to the belt press.

Configuration:
• Available in 8 roller and 12 roller designs in the pressure section
• Open frame design maximizes access
• Available in a fully odour-enclosed format with removable panels allowing for easy access
• Available with 3-Belt design - independent gravity deck for sludge that has less than 1.5% dry solids

Bearings:
The G3 is equipped with lifetime-rated bearings. Each bearing is protected from contaminates with triple-labyrinth seals and shaft -mounted splash guards
 

Belt alignment:
Operator specified belt tensioning is automatically maintained by the SmartPress™ system, recognising subtle condition variations such as belt stretching or process changes.
 

Gravity dewatering zone:
The arrangement of the G3 gravity drainage zone ensures the even distribution of the conditioned slurry over the effective width of the moving filter belt
 

Sludge/poly mixer valve:
The G3 is equipped with a proprietary variable orifice, in-line polymer mixer that combines polymer and slurry instantly (in less than one second). This advanced, non-clog, static mixer is known for the mixing precision and adjustable throat which allow direct control of mixing energy. Its design optimises
polymer effectiveness and minimises polymer consumption

Bearings:
• Heavy duty bearings with triple-labyrinth seals
• Extended lubrication cycle (six monthly)
• Shaft mounted splash guards
• Positioned for easy installation
 

Wedge zone:
Adjustable wedge dewatering zone initiates the application of pressure to the dewatering process
 

Belt alignment:
SmartPressTM Belt Alignment System ensures continuous, smooth guidance control without the need for operator intervention.
 

Belt tensioning
• Operator specified belt tensioning is automatically maintained, recognizing subtle condition variations   such as belt stretching or process changes
• Easy to operate and maintain 

Benefits:
• Up to 5 times higher throughputs using same footprint as
  conventional belt press
• 1-2% points higher cake solids performance with dilute
  sludges Sludge thickening and dewatering machine
• Independent belts for gravity and pressure section
• More forgiving/flexible with different incoming feed solids
• Dual function as gravity belt thickener or belt filter press
  option
• Available in variety of pressure profiles, including high
  solids version

Thickening and dewatering zones:
• Independent gravity section
• Full-pressure dewatering zone – pressure is gently   increased as the sludge passes through 8 or 12 pressure   rollers
• Radial grid and perforated roller accelerate dewatering
  through shear forces Better process performance
