Horizontal Belt Filters for Food Processing
Horizontal Belt Filters are used in food processing applications where where washing of the cake is crucial. The horizontal belt filter is used as an extractor of moisture from a slurry. Cake washing is provided by multistage single run or counter current flood washing. The horizontal belt filter is capable of washing soluble components from the filter cake and reducing residual moisture to very low levels in the dry zone. The continual filtration process includes constant filter cloth washing to provide a clean cloth belt for every filter cycle. With this type of system, the entire process can be observed from feed to discharge. Horizontal belt filters require no tank so the inventory of the slurry is reduced to what is actually being filtered.
Compositech produces a line of horizontal belt filters designed specifically for food processing. These filters feature tubular frames for ease of cleaning and special food grade materials are used in filter construction and for coatings. We use non-lubricated FDA approved polymer bearings, fully enclosed troughing supports, full coverage drip pans with flanged drains, and fully encapsulated drainage belts. Our horizontal belt filters are available in widths up to 4 meters wide. Most of our units are shipped completely assembled to minimize installation costs and reduce preparation time and setup time. We do manufacture a large horizontal belt filter as a modular system that can be sized and resized according to customer needs. Each module is 2.5 meters long and increases the filtration area by 10 square meters. These modules are separated for ease of shipment and the unit is assembled at the customer's plant. 
The deep troughing lips on our horizontal belt filters are designed to fully contain any spillage through the deckles and return the spilled solids to the discharge end of the filter. Compositech's horizontal belt filters are also easily maintained. The non-drive side of the frame is designed for easy removal of the drainage belt, pulleys and support decks without complete disassembly of the filter. The filters can be totally enclosed for containment of food products. There are several cake washing options and the filters can be fully coated with corrosion resistant materials if desired.
