Bucher HPS 12007
Hydraulic filter press for dewatering of municipal and industrial sludge
The HPS press was developed for the solid-liquid separation of biological substances. This machine is a very effective solution for dewatering of communal and industrial sludge. The solid content of a suspension may be between 2 and 10%. For different performance requirements, there are several machine sizes provided.
- High degree of dewatering
- Low disposal and drying costs
- Reliable process and control system
- Self-optimising process operation
- Continuous operation without supervision
- Minimal labour costs
- Minimal maintenance costs
The press is designed as a rotating cylinder-piston system with hydraulic drive. Fixed between the piston and end of the drum are flexible drainage elements that let the filtrate flow from the the press interior. The press process comprises various stages; sludge feeding, dewatering by cyclic pressing, bulking steps and discharging of the filter cake. A complete press process lasts between 70–120 minutes, depending on the sludge’s capability for dewatering.
