As the needs of industry and sewage treatment plants develop over time, with ever-changing processes and tightening regulations, so does the need increase for efficient and reliable sludge dewatering technologies. The benefits of effective sludge treatment can be seen not only in the production of fertilser for agriculture but also as a soil conditioner for reclaiming deteriorated land areas or acidic mining sites.

The Aquabelt range of gravity belt thickeners are designed to take any kind of sludge and thicken to 3 to 5% dry solids.

With its enclosed canopy and 'no spill' belt system the ABCT Aquabelt eliminates odour and is ideal for unmanned operation. The advantages of this system are its low polymer consumption, its stainless steel construction which allows outdoor installation and its completely visible and easily adjustable process.

For further dewatering the Klampress range of belt filter presses can be relied on to produce a consistent 25%+ dry solids cake.

Manufactured in stainless steel, Klampress frames are built for long life and its unique design includes a variable incline discharge ramp for achievement of very high cake dry solids output, proprietary polymer mixer for immediate and precise adjustment of polymer rate and clog free continuous operation.

The Klampress belt system automatically accommodates variation in sludge feed to ensure consistent and continuous output to pre-set requirements. Available options include an extended deck for very high throughput applications, a high pressure version for ultra high solids cake production, a full enclosure for odour prevention and customised configurations engineered for unique applications.
