Belt Press Filters for Food Processing
The belt press is a dewatering machine designed to concentrate sludge by means of progressive compression between two permeable belts. The “low pressure” zone of the filter features the upper and lower belt converging to gradually begin exerting pressure on the sludge. The belts containing the sludge wrap around a large diameter perforated roll that exerts a moderate and uniform pressure, separating free water from the sludge. The "high pressure" compression zone consists of 5 or 7 rolls around which the two belts containing the sludge are pressed. The pressure rolls feature a progressively decreasing diameter along the working direction of the machine. In this configuration the pressure exerted on the sludge gradually increases to produce a high dry value in the final cake. Processed cake is removed from the belts by upper and lower belt doctor blades. The belts are then cleaned by a washing station in preparation for another pass through the press.
Compositech is a leading manufacturer of belt press assemblies. Our belt press filters are currently in operation in a variety of heavy industrial applications. Compositech belt presses are built with a cantilever frame which is easy to clean and provides for the use of seamless belts. Our belt press filter is well suited to food processing and is currently in use at Pilgrim Pride and at American Rice.
In addition to the belt press filter we currently manufacture, Compositech designed and manufactured SernaTech belt press filters from 1999 thrugh 2002 under a joint venture with Sernagiotto Italy. All SernaTech belt press filters were manufactured at our Pearland facility. We currently service these machines and we keep a ready stock of SernaTech replacement parts in our inventory.
We offer a vast inventory of parts on hand for both Compositech and SernaTech belt press filters and for filters made by other manufacturers. With our spare parts inventory, we are able to expedite part orders for our customers. We stock bearing assemblies, seals, gaskets, rollers, doctor blades, steering valves, plows and many other spare parts.
We manufacture and stock Compositech replacement parts for Andritz, Ashbrook, Carter. Envirex, Enviroquip, Parkson, Komline-Sanderson®, SernaTech/Sernagiotto, and various other belt press filter manufacturers. Our replacement parts meet or exceed the quality and material of OEM components.
Compositech is not an authorized replacement parts supplier or service supplier for Komline-Sanderson® brands of process equipment or parts therefore. All Compositech replacement parts are manufactured by and warranted by Compositech and not by the original equipment manufacturer.
