How It Works
Efficient Dewatering in 3 Primary Phases
- Thickening (Optional Module)
Polymer is mixed with sludge to form flocs ideal for dewatering. - Gravity Drainage & Low Pressure Squeeze
Initial filtration begins as water separates from sludge inside the cylinder. - High Pressure Compression Zone
As screw pitch and ring gaps reduce, pressure increases and sludge thickens.
Application Areas
Municipal
Food & Dairy
Pulp & Paper
Leather
BioGas

FAQS
What is the dry solids content achievable with the Belt Filter Press?
The Euroteck Belt Filter Press can achieve 20% to 28% dry solids content, depending on sludge characteristics and polymer dosage. With an average flocculant dosage of 2–3.5 kg/tDS, high-performance dewatering is consistently achieved across municipal and industrial applications.
Can the Belt Filter Press operate continuously without manual intervention?
Yes. The system features smart pneumatic belt tensioning and tracking, enabling fully automatic, 24×7 operation. The control panel supports both manual and automated modes, making it ideal for facilities with minimal staffing.
What types of sludge is the Euroteck Belt Filter Press suitable for?
It is designed to handle a wide range of sludges from:
- Municipal sewage
- Food and beverage processing
- Pulp & paper industries
- Leather and metallurgy plants
- Biogas and chemical plants
It can process both primary and secondary sludge, as well as thickened or raw sludge.
Is a sludge thickener required before using the Belt Filter Press?
Not necessarily. However, integrating a belt thickener can increase dewatering efficiency and throughput. It pre-conditions sludge to 3–8% solids, reducing hydraulic load on the press and boosting overall system capacity.
How durable is the machine? What materials are used?
The Belt Filter Press is built using AISI 304 or 316 stainless steel, with shafts coated in Rilsan wear-resistant plastic. It includes high-quality bearings, sensors, and motors sourced from global OEMs. This ensures excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and a long operating life in harsh environments.
What is the power requirement of the Belt Filter Press?
Power consumption is remarkably low, ranging between 0.75 kW and 3.3 kW depending on model size and throughput. Its energy-efficient design helps reduce operational costs in the long run.
What are the space/installation requirements for this equipment?
The installation footprint is compact, with unit lengths ranging from ~2990 mm to 6600 mm based on model selection. Its design is ideal for both retrofit and new installations where space is limited.
What’s included in the standard delivery scope?
The standard delivery includes:
- Belt filter press unit
- Thickener (optional)
- Polymer dosing and mixing system
- Compressor
- Wash water booster pump
- Control panel
- Dewatered sludge discharge conveyor
Euroteck also offers custom configurations based on your plant’s needs.
How often do the belts need to be replaced?
With normal usage and proper maintenance, the belts typically last 9 to 18 months. Smart belt management and tensioning systems help extend belt life and reduce wear-and-tear.
What kind of maintenance is required, and how easy is it?
The system is designed for low-maintenance operation. Visual access to internal parts and tool-friendly component placement allow easy maintenance. Regular rinsing, occasional belt adjustments, and lubrication of moving parts are sufficient to keep the system running smoothly. Most maintenance tasks can be performed using standard tools.
