Chemical and Mineral Processing - Horizontal Belt, Disc, Drum, Vertical Pressure Filters

Chemical and Mineral Processing

Compositech manufactures several filters for use in chemical and industrial process applications. We produce a line of horizontal belt filters designed specifically for chemical filtration. In manufacturing these filters, we use special chemical resistant materials for the frame and for coatings. If needed, our horizontal belt filters are available fully enclosed to accomodate the processing of toxic materials. With horizontal belt filters, many different slurries can be filtered, including fibrous materials, fine slimes, and coarse granular or crystalline solids.

Compositech produces disc filters and spare parts specifically manufactured for use in chemical processing. When disc filters are used for chemical processing with a pH level as low as 0.3, the cast iron or carbon steel centershaft regularly supplied by the manufacturer rapidly fails due to extensive corrosion. Our Compositech Composite Centershaft is made of engineered plastics, pultruded fiberglass reinforced resin, and elastomers that all withstand extremely corrosive environments. Compositech's centershaft has been successfully used to replace Eimco® Agidisc™ filter centershafts for effective long term use in a chemical processing application.

Compositech drum filters have been used by customers in the chemical and mineral processing industry as well as in the processing of pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Drum filters have various discharge options and the discharge methods most often used in the processing of chemicals and minerals are precoat discharge, belt discharge, roll discharge, and string discharge.

In addition to the Compositech models of horizontal belt filters, disc filters, and drum filters, we provide replacement parts for other filter brands. We have several chemical and mineral processing customers who use vertical press filters in their processes because these filters offer large capacity, improved cake washing, low cake moisture content, and increased process recoveries in operation. Our spare parts manufacturing capabilities include a variety of parts for vertical press filters.

All Compositech replacement parts are manufactured by and warranted by Compositech and not by the original equipment manufacturer.
