4 DESCRIPTION
4.1 Field of application
The belt press is used to dewater mixed sludge.
4 6 8 7
Fig. 4-2 Belt press CPF2023 SL
Chapter 4 , Page 2 of 6
Sludge feed Comprising sludge feed, slide plate and distribution baffle.
(Gravity zone, Item
1) In the gravity zone, solid/liquid separation is effected by gravity alone, i.e.
most of the liquid contained between the solids agglomerates drains off.
The first part of the gravity zone is used for sludge feed and spreading the
suspension evenly over the entire working width of the belt.
In order to form the flocs required, the sludge must be treated with organic
or inorganic conditioning agent, particularly suspensions containing finest
grain solids
Wedge zone (Item The wedge zone is the first pressure stage, which is generated by the top
2) and bottom belts converging over suitable plastic slide plates to form a
wedge. The resulting reduction in volume causes the pressure to rise
continuously in the running direction of the belt, thus causing the solids to
separate from the liquid.
The wedge zone is closed off at each side by a stainless steel mounting
and an elastic sealing lip made of plastic on either side.
Press zone (Item In the press zone the filter cake formed in the wedge zone is subjected to
3) the greatest possible pressure in order to obtain the highest possible final
dry content. The filter cake formed in the wedge zone is subjected to
surface pressure only.
For this purpose, the two filter belts under a pre-set tensile strength value
"S", and with the filter cake between the two, run over several S-rolls, the
diameters of which decrease gradually in the running direction of the belt.
By adjusting the belt stretcher, the belt tension can be varied infinitely to
achieve the most effective area pressure for the specific press cake.
Machine frame The machine frame consists mainly of the top and bottom frame sections,
(Item 4) the cross beams, as well as various brackets, fixtures and mountings to
hold the other structural components (S-rolls belt stretcher, etc.).
The frame is sandblasted, galvanized and provided with 1 prime and one
finishing coat as corrosion protection.
Belt stretcher The two filter belts are each tensioned by a belt tensioning roll which is
(Item 5) supported on two solid slide rods made of stainless steel. The slide rods
are supported in spherical plain bearings and are moved horizontally by
pneumatic cylinders.
The slide rods have toothed wheel work with two rigidly connected
toothed wheels gearing in, thus forcing the tensioning roll used in each
case to run parallel.
This guarantees constant belt tension over the entire width of the filter
belts, as well as preventing the belts from running off centre and suffering
premature wear.
Belt tracking and A slewing regulating roll is provided for each filter belt to prevent it form
regulating (Item 6) running off centre. The regulating rolls are slewed automatically by a
control device.
Take-off doctor The doctors are used to remove the press cake and clean the belts.
(Item 7)
The press cake is removed from the filter belts by low-wear doctor blades.
The doctor blades with variable nip loading are mounted on sturdy beams
and can be lifted off the filter belt with levers for cleaning purposes.
Belt cleaning (Item The top and bottom filter belts each run through a separate wash box after
8) the press cake has been removed.
The belt is washed by showers which have non-clogging flat jet nozzles.
Metal brushes are mounted inside the showers in order to clean these
jets. The metal brushes can be operated by a hand wheel while the
machine is in operation. Thus, it is possible to use water with a moderate
solids load to clean the filter belts.
Filtrate collecting The filtrate draining off in the individual solids/liquid separating zones is
tray, filtrate outlet collected in the corresponding filtrate trays mounted inside the machine
(Item 10) frame.
There are three collecting trays: one for the gravity zone, one for the
wedge zone, and one for the press zone, as well as two filtrate trays, one
for the top and one for the bottom belt cleaning device. If necessary, the
filtrate streams can be drained off separately from one another if they are
to undergo separate post-treatment. The filtrate trays are rustproof.
Tower mixer - The sludge is mixed with the flocculent before entering the tower mixer. In
headbox (Item 11) the tower mixer itself the mixture of sludge and polymer is homogenised
carefully using an agitator until proper flocs have formed. The flocculated
sludge is then fed to the gravity zone of the belt press, where it is spread
over the entire working width of the belt by a distribution device.
Gravity zone Gravity dewatering zone, where the interstitial water still free drains off
through the top belt under the force of gravity.
Wedge zone Wedge zone, where the initial pressing forces are applied to the
pre-dewatered sludge.
S-rolls S-zone, where the press cake is dewatered by area pressure to the
highest possible dryness.
Emergency-off An emergency-off switch is fitted on both the front and the rear side of the
switch at the machine. These are designed as cable switches and can be triggered by
machine a pull cord (cable) on either side of the belt press. Before re-starting the
machine, the interlock bypass switch at the cable switch must be
activated. An emergency-off switch is provided in the control panel.
Belt tracking If the belt runs well off track, the limit switches are actuated and the
switch machine is stopped.
Belt regulating This prevents the belts from running off track. A tracking device positions
device the regulating rolls on a slant such that the belt always runs towards the
centre of the machine. Setting instructions are provided in the section of
this manual headed Operation.
Electic switch When set to "Group start", all drives are shut down in the event of a defect
cabinet or if any one unit fails.

Step Procedure
1 Check wedge inlet height.
2 Check whether sludge headbox side seal is correctly
installed. (When checking, the belt should be stretched).
3 Fasten rope to last fastening clip on strip (Fig. 8-9).
4 Press sealing strip together and push in deckle strip from the
sludge headbox towards the wedge end at an angle of
approximately 30° (measured towards the end of the wedge
plate) (Fig. 8-10).
6 Push strip inside over the length of the belt press until it can
be screwed to the sludge headbox.
Check that the deckle strip fits against the lateral headbox
seal without a gap (Fig. 8-11).
If there is a gap, the seal must be shifted in the strip support
in the direction of the headbox.
If the two seals overlap, either the lateral headbox seal must
be shortened somewhat or the strip must be pushed towards
the wedge end inside the support.
7 Fasten the deckle strip at the headbox (Fig. 8-11) and at the
retainers along the length of the wedge (Fig. 8-12).
Check whether the deckle strip is parallel to belt end or leans
slightly outwards toward the end of the wedge. Tighten the
fastening screws for lateral adjustment of the deckle strips.
9 With new sealing strips a small gap forms at the end of the
headbox. ((Fig. 8-13 ). In this case a nick must be made in the
Robadur strip here. The position of the cut should be
measured or marked directly on the Robadur strip.
10 Pull deckle strip out again and make a notch with a sharp
knife approximately 6 - 10 mm deep at the appropriate point
in the Robadur strip (Fig. 8-14).
