sludge filter press Manufacturer
Professional sludge filter press manufacturer. LONGONE offers reliable sludge dewatering solutions for wastewater treatment with customizable plate sizes and automation options.
sludge filter press
A sludge filter press is an efficient solid-liquid separation machine widely used in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment. It removes water from sludge by applying mechanical or hydraulic pressure, forcing liquid to pass through filter cloth while retaining solid particles to form filter cake. This process significantly reduces sludge volume, making transportation and disposal easier and more cost-effective. Sludge filter presses are commonly used in industries such as electroplating, chemical processing, food production, and metal surface treatment. Known for their high dewatering efficiency, stable performance, and low operating costs, sludge filter presses are a reliable solution for achieving effective sludge management and environmental compliance.
Sludge Filter Press Performance
Processing capacity: 4,500 – 90,000 gallons/day
Filtration cake solids content: 30% – 35%. Up to 80% solids content under certain conditions
Filtration pressure: 7 – 20 bar

filter press accessories
Filter Cloth
Filter cloth is the key filtration medium in a filter press, responsible for separating solid particles from liquid. We offer various materials such as polypropylene, polyester, and nylon to suit different filtration requirements. Our filter cloths feature excellent permeability, high strength, chemical resistance, and long service life.
Conveyors
Conveyors are used to automatically transport discharged filter cakes from the filter press to designated collection or storage areas. They help reduce manual labor and improve operational efficiency. Common types include belt conveyors and screw conveyors, which can be integrated into filtration systems for continuous cake handling.
Accessory of Filter Press
We also supply various filter press spare parts such as hydraulic systems, feed pumps, sealing gaskets, and plate shifting devices. These accessories ensure stable operation and easy maintenance. High-quality components help extend equipment lifespan and maintain reliable filtration performance in industrial applications.
Working Principle of Sludge Filter Press
A sludge filter press separates solids from liquids through pressure filtration. It is widely used in wastewater treatment to remove water from sludge and produce a solid filter cake. During operation, sludge is pumped into the chambers formed by filter plates. As pressure increases, water passes through the filter cloth while solid particles are retained. Over time, the solids accumulate and form a compact filter cake. This process effectively reduces sludge volume and improves handling efficiency.
- Sludge Feeding: Sludge is pumped into the filter press chambers.
- Filtration: Liquid passes through the filter cloth under pressure.
- Cake Formation: Solid particles accumulate to form filter cake.
- Cake Discharge: Plates open and the filter cake is released.
