Filter presses for recycling and resource recovery

Rising raw material costs, increasingly stringent environmental regulations and the transition towards a circular economy have made recycling processes more important than ever. Across a wide range of applications, solids must be separated efficiently from liquids to recover valuable materials, treat process water and reduce disposal costs.

 

Reliable solid-liquid separation for resource recovery

 

Filter presses play a key role in these processes. They reliably dewater suspensions, producing a dry filter cake that may contain valuable metals, minerals or other recyclable solids, depending on the application. At the same time, a clear filtrate is generated that can often be returned directly to the process or sent for further water treatment. This enables valuable resources and water to remain within the production cycle while reducing operating costs.

 

Filter presses for a wide range of recycling applications

 

AQUACHEM designs and manufactures both membrane  and chamber filter presses for a wide range of recycling applications. Our systems are used in metal and precious metal recovery, battery recycling, plastic recycling and mineral processing. Depending on the characteristics of the suspension, even abrasive or chemically demanding process media can be dewatered reliably.

 

Designed to suit your process and slurry characteristics

 

Every recycling process has its own requirements in terms of filtration performance, filter cake moisture content, throughput and level of automation. That is why every AQUACHEM filter press is engineered specifically for the application. Manual, semi-automatic and fully automatic systems are available and can be integrated seamlessly into existing recycling and resource recovery processes.
