Useful Considerations On Belt Press Rentals

By Thomas Fox


This is an industrial machine that is used for solid-liquid separation particularly in de-watering of sludge in the chemical industry, water treatment and mining. They can also be used in wine-making and production of cider and apple juice. Sludge management can be a dirty and difficult job but can be easy with the right technology. If you are looking for belt press rentals, there are certain considerations you should look into to ensure you rent the perfect machine for the job.

The first consideration is the plate size. Once you have determined the cubic foot size of the machine, the next step is to determine the size of filter plates, components, frame and other accessories. This allows you to see where exactly the cubic feet volume fits. The size you select when renting will be determined by the amount of expandability you desire.

You have quite a number of options available in the market to choose from as there are numerous presses available. However, all of them differ in how they are made and are used for different applications. Before you select a given make, ensure you consult with the appropriate professionals so as to make the right choice.

Plate construction is another aspect you need to look into. You will be required to select a filter plate material type. Standard material includes polypropylene. Other materials include high-temperature glass filled propylene and Food and Drug Administration permitted food grade propylene material. There are other special type materials such as stainless steel, Kynar and carbon steel.

Frame design ought to be deliberated on when making your selection on the available presses. You will be provided with two types of frame configurations to select from which includes the dual l-beam overhead and sidebar. The typical frame design includes the sidebar make. The one thousand two hundred to one thousand five hundred millimeter classification is present in both makes. The two thousand millimeters make is present in dual beam overhead type.

The next consideration is the plate volume. The presses present in the market include an elective removable expansion spacer. If you are thinking of renting a mechanism with a spacer, remember that the first numeral you see denotes current plate capacity. The second numeral denotes maximum volume the mechanism can allow. The size of the expansion spacer is the difference between the two.

You have to select between the automatic and manual operation. For the semi-automatic and manual operations, they both require input from an operator before they operate. For the fully automated presses, they require an initial start-up of operation and then discharge, blow-down, plate-shift and cloth wash operations are all automated. You have to decide between these options to determine what will be best for your company.

The cloth type will also have to be determined when renting the machine. Four options for filter cloths are available. Propylene Multifilament Material is the standard type and is suitable for most applications. The Propylene MonFilament Material material is mainly for coarse filtration. The Fancy Till Wave material is designed for high clarity applications while the Propylene Mono Multifilament is a special kind of fiber that resists tacky and oil solutions. Your operations will determine the kind of material you opt for.
