Belt Press Filter Market Report

There has been a rapid surge in the amount of sludge being produced from various industries such as chemical, water treatment, and mining. Due to implementation of strict regulations on wastewater treatment, management and treatment of these sludges have become important. Belt Press Filter is widely used in the wastewater treatment plants for sludge dewatering. Manufacturers are developing these equipment with high quality stainless steel and are customizing them as per the required needs of the end-user industries.  

The Belt Press Filter market has been undergoing a number of product introductions since past few years. One such instance is belt press CPF-Q by a key company, ANDRITZ. This heavy-duty belt filter press is manufactured in a modular design with unique flexibility. Some of the key features of this Belt Press Filter are high throughput, easy to maintain, reliable non-stop operation, and optimized flocculant consumption.

Manufacturers to launch new products to strengthen their presence in the Belt Press Filter market

Some of the key manufacturers operating in the Belt Press Filter market are WesTech Engineering, Inc., FLSmidth, ANDRITZ, Outotec, Compositech Products Manufacturing, Inc., Menardi Filter, Komline-Sanderson, BASIIA Contracting, RPA PROCESS SAS, and EIMCO-K.C.P. Ltd.

For instance, one of the key companies, WesTech Engineering has launched a Tower Press Filter, which performs maximum dewatering in numerous industrial and minerals applications, such as leach residues, fine iron ore concentrates, and metallurgical precipitates. Some of the other key benefits of this press filter are less maintenance requirement, low operational costs, optimum production performance, and fully automatic operation.

Benefits associated with Belt Press Filters to drive its usage among manufacturers

Advantages associated with Belt Press Filters such as low power consumption, larger output, smaller working space, easy operation, better working condition, and easy maintenance are driving the Belt Press Filter market. Rise in the government regulations on environmental protection, need for sludge dewatering is increasing. This scenario is compelling manufacturers to look for cost-effective and environmentally friendly equipment, thus surging demand for Belt Press Filters.

On the flip side, Belt Press Filters are not efficient when it comes to processing feeds with oil content, which may further hamper the Belt Press Filter market growth. Large space requirements and issues with proper belt tracking are also restricting the usage of Belt Press Filters. In addition, if very coarse solids are dewatered, it may result in reduced belt life, thus hampering the Belt Press Filter market growth.
