Belt filter press
Ashbrook's Klampress® belt filter press is now available in a 3- belt configuration that increases throughput volumes and increases dewatering and thickening capabilities. The 3-Belt version provides the addition of an independent gravity deck, and gives operators the option of: operation in the gravity belt thickener (GBT) mode or operation in the belt filter press (BFP) mode – independently. With the new system, high-speed thickening capabilities are independent of dewatering speeds.
