Definitions
- the present invention relates to a filter press belt.
- Belt filter presses are used in a wide number of industries to separate solids from fluids.
- a common application for belt filter presses is in removing water from sludge in, for example, processes used in paper mills, sewage works, water treatment plants or mines.
- One application for belt filter presses involves dewatering mineral waste products such as gypsum produced as a result of lime solution being sprayed
- Belt filter presses are also used for dewatering raw materials such as coal, buaxite, iron ore, potash or phosphates, or for screening materials. They are also used in chemical production processes, for example, in the manufacture of ascorbic acid, citric acid, pectin or phosphoric acid. During the production of phosphoric acid the filter press is used to remove the gypsum waste product from the acid.
- the water content is reduced so that when the sludge if removed for transportation the water is not being transported. This decreases transportation costs. Water removal is also beneficial if the sludge is to be incinerated.
- mills are normally located near the wood source, i.e. forested areas and the pulp is then
- Belt filter presses generally comprise two endless belts, the lower belt being arranged generally horizontally. Water is drained from the initial section of the lower belt under gravity. The upper belt runs over the end section of the lower belt in a so-
- presses again comprise two moving endless belts which form a nip therebetween.
- woven structures with a plain or twill weave comprising coarse, such as 1.2 mm
- thermoplastics material comprising a non-woven mesh membrane moulded from thermoplastics material.
- the moulding process which is used to make the membrane is quicker, less
- the filter press belt solely consists of one or more of said mesh membranes, and provides a planar load transfer surface.
- the membrane is preferably resilient, as these belts operate at high press loads.
- elastomeric material for forming the mesh membrane.
- Preferred elastomeric materials include any of the following either alone or in combination with
- nylon or polyurethane matric may be reinforced by dimensionally stable PET or PEN
- the membrane may conveniently be manufactured in accordance with the
- thermoset polymers to be used as matrix material, enabling abrasion resistance
- the membrane may be any material having resilience and pH resistance to be optimised. It is noted that the membrane may be any material having resilience and pH resistance to be optimised. It is noted that the membrane may be any material having resilience and pH resistance to be optimised. It is noted that the membrane may be any material having resilience and pH resistance to be optimised. It is noted that the membrane may be any material having resilience and pH resistance to be optimised. It is noted that the membrane may be any material having resilience and pH resistance to be optimised. It is noted that the membrane may be any material
- Multi-layered membrane structures may be used to create a permeability
- One or more yarn members may be incorporated within at least one of the
- Cross-direction rigidity can be improved by incorporating one or more ya
- the membrane may be laminated with woven fabric, knitted fabric and/or non-woven fabric
- the knitted or woven fabric may be very open. Such fabrics are ideally located on the
- the membrane may comprise channels for draining liquid, the channels ideally

- a filter press belt 15 comprises a mesh membrane of the type
- membrane is laminated to a layer of non- woven material 16 comprising a batt of staple
- the belt has a similar use to the belt described with reference to fig.1.
- a batt 17 is illustrated which is similar to that illustrated with reference to fig.2 and again similar reference numerals are used to indicate like parts.
- a needlefelt 18 i.e. a composite woven and non-woven material comprising a batt
