Product Introduction

The mobile vacuum belt filter is a device that utilizes vacuum suction to achieve solid-liquid separation. Its core components include: a circular filter belt, vacuum chamber, drive unit, and cleaning system. During operation, the belt continuously moves under the drive unit's power. The suspension to be filtered is evenly sprayed onto the filter belt. Under vacuum pressure from the vacuum chamber, liquid permeates the filter belt into the vacuum system, while solid particles are retained on the belt to form a filter cake. As the belt advances, the filter cake undergoes further dewatering in the drying zone before being scraped off by a blade in the discharge zone, completing the filtration process.

Primary Applications
 

The core function of the mobile vacuum belt filter is to achieve efficient separation of solid-liquid mixtures, specifically applicable in the following four scenarios:

Primary Applications

01

Solid Waste Dewatering and Volume Reduction

Converting high-moisture solid wastes such as sludge, tailings, and slag into low-moisture filter cakes reduces solid waste volume (typically by over 50%), facilitating subsequent transportation, landfill disposal, or resource recovery. Examples include: municipal sludge dewatering (reducing moisture content from 95% to 40%-60%), mine tailings dewatering (from slurry to stackable filter cake).

02

Liquid Purification for Reuse / Compliance Discharge

Filtration removes suspended solid particles from liquids, ensuring the filtrate meets reuse standards or environmental discharge requirements. Examples include:

- Reuse of filtered mineral processing wastewater (removes tailings particles, reduces water consumption)

- Compliance discharge of filtered chemical wastewater (removes reaction residues, lowers COD/SS levels)

03

Product Purification and Separation

In industrial production, separating target solid products from liquids or removing impurities. Examples include: starch slurry filtration in the food industry (separating starch solids while removing moisture), and salt crystallization filtration in the chemical industry (separating sodium chloride/potassium chloride crystals to purify the product).

04

Emergency Treatment Operations

Addressing sudden solid-liquid separation requirements, such as:

Rapidly treating slurry generated during river/lake dredging projects;

Filtering and collecting leaked solid-liquid mixtures during chemical plant spill incidents to prevent pollution spread.  

Primary Applications

The core function of mobile vacuum belt filter presses is to separate materials containing solid-liquid mixtures. Their specific applications can be categorized into four types:

1. Solid Waste Dewatering and Volume Reduction: For materials with high moisture content such as sludge, mining tailings, and industrial waste residues, processing with vacuum belt filter presses produces low-moisture filter cakes with significantly reduced volume.

2. Liquid Purification and Reuse: Filters suspended solids from liquids, enabling the treated liquid to be reused or discharged after meeting regulatory standards.

3. Product Purification and Separation: During industrial production, useful products can be separated from liquids, while impurities are removed.

4. Emergency Treatment Operations: In urgent situations requiring solid-liquid separation—such as dredging rivers or lakes—the resulting slurry mixture can be rapidly processed.

FAQ

Are filter belts prone to clogging in mobile vacuum belt filter machines? How can this be addressed?

Whether filter belts clog depends primarily on the material properties and the adequacy of daily operation and maintenance. Solutions include:① Matching filter belt pore size: Select based on material particle size. Common pore sizes range from 5-500μm; avoid arbitrary selection.② Optimize the cleaning system: Use high-pressure spray cleaning at 0.3-0.8MPa. When humidity is high, add heated air drying to reduce residue.③ Add filter aids: When material viscosity is too high, add diatomaceous earth, polyacrylamide, etc., to improve filtration.

How are the vacuum system and electrical system protected during the movement of the mobile vacuum belt filter?

The equipment design incorporates mobility protection requirements, addressed through the following measures:① Vacuum System: Critical components such as vacuum pumps and filtrate tanks are securely fastened with anti-vibration mounts to prevent displacement. Flexible hoses are used for connecting pipelines, minimizing vacuum leakage even during rough handling.② Electrical System: The electrical control cabinet features a waterproof and dustproof enclosure with an IP54 rating or higher, protecting against wind, rain, and dust. All electrical components comply with mobile equipment safety standards to ensure stable operation during transit.③ Pre-movement Preparation: Secure moving parts like filter belts and fabricators using specialized devices such as clips and bolts to prevent component displacement during transport, which could affect system functionality.

What is the operational energy consumption of the equipment? What are the primary energy-consuming components?

Operational energy consumption is moderate, depending on equipment specifications (e.g., filtration area, processing capacity) and material characteristics. The primary energy-consuming component is the vacuum pump (accounting for 60%-70% of total energy consumption), followed by the filter belt drive motor and cleaning pump motor. Taking a unit with a 10 m² filtration area as an example, under standard operating conditions (processing municipal sludge), the total power consumption is approximately 15-25 kW, with hourly electricity consumption around 15-25 kWh. Implementing energy-efficient water ring vacuum pumps or variable frequency drive (VFD) control technology can reduce energy consumption by 10%-20%.

What is the replacement cycle for filter belts? Is the replacement cost high?

Filter belts typically last 6 to 12 months. The exact replacement interval depends on whether the material is corrosive and the adequacy of operation and maintenance. If handling highly corrosive materials, such as sludge from acidic wastewater, the belt lifespan may shorten to approximately 3 to 6 months. However, with proper daily cleaning to prevent excessive wear, belts can easily last over 12 months.Regarding replacement costs, they are moderate. Most filter belts are made of polyester or polypropylene. Taking equipment with a 10㎡ filtration area as an example, the corresponding filter belt is approximately 2 meters wide and 10 meters long. The price for a single filter belt generally ranges from several thousand to around ten thousand yuan. Comparing this to the filter cloths used in plate-and-frame filter presses reveals a significant difference: while individual filter cloths for plate-and-frame presses are inexpensive, their frequent replacement requirements result in higher overall costs. Therefore, the replacement cost for these filter belts is relatively low.
