Horizontal Belt Filter

Horizontal belt filter is unique vacuum filter which is specialized in cake washing performance.
Effective cake washing is realized because the filter can replace uniformly mother liquor in wet cake by cake washing liquid. As uniform cake layer are formed continuously, uneven washing can be prevented.
Product cake after filtrated, washed and dehydrated is discharged continuously by means of cake discharge device. And filter cloth is washed continuously by means of cloth washing device in order to prevent clogging of the filter cloth.

The Horizontal Belt Filter integrates vacuum filtration, cake washing, and automatic cake discharge into a single continuous process, making it suitable for applications requiring stable throughput and consistent product quality.

Compared with batch-type filter presses or other intermittent vacuum filtration equipment, this system significantly reduces operational interruptions, labor requirements, and quality fluctuations, making it ideal for high-load industrial production lines.

The equipment can be designed in either open or fully enclosed configurations, depending on process requirements such as organic solvent handling, dust control, or safety regulations.

• Excellent Cake Washing Performance

The Horizontal Belt Filter continuously forms a uniform and stable filter cake layer, effectively preventing uneven washing or channeling phenomena.
Washing time and washing zone length can be adjusted according to process requirements, enabling high-efficiency and consistent cake washing under continuous operation, thereby improving final product quality.

• Significant Reduction in Wastewater Treatment Costs

Compared with conventional filtration equipment, the Horizontal Belt Filter provides higher cake washing efficiency, achieving equivalent or superior washing performance while significantly reducing washing water consumption.
Multi-stage counter-current cake washing further minimizes water usage, effectively lowering overall wastewater treatment and operating costs.

• High Throughput and High Recovery Rate

The equipment is equipped with a dedicated cake discharge mechanism, ensuring stable cake removal and high product recovery.
In addition, filter cloth washing liquid can be recovered and reused as cake washing liquid, allowing complete recovery of the product cake and enhancing overall process throughput in continuous operation.

• Gas-Tight Structure Design

The system can be configured with a fully enclosed, gas-tight structure, providing a stable and safe operating environment for processing slurries containing organic solvents or volatile substances.
This design supports enhanced process safety management and compliance with stringent environmental and operational regulations.
