Filter Presses for Concrete Production
Concrete production generates significant amounts of process water and slurry, particularly from washing concrete trucks, mixers, and batching equipment. If this water is discharged untreated, it can contain high levels of cement particles, fine aggregates, and elevated pH, which pose environmental challenges and must be managed in compliance with strict regulations.
A filter press offers a highly effective and reliable solution for treating this wash water. By separating solids from the water, the press produces:
-
Clear filtrate that can be reused in the production process or safely discharged.
-
Dry filter cakes of cement and aggregates that are easy to handle and dispose of or recycle.
