How to achieve efficient and controlled operation:
Depending on the application requirements and material characteristics, it is critical to select the right filter press. Here are some suggestions:
It is recommended to choose a plate and frame filter press, whose simple structure and operation are suitable for handling slurries with high solids content and whose filtration parameters can be adjusted to achieve higher dewatering results.
Belt filter presses and drum filter presses are good choices. Belt filter presses are suitable for large-scale applications and high throughput, while drum filter presses are suitable for scenarios that require continuous processing, especially for viscous or fibrous materials.
Membrane filter presses are recommended. The use of membrane technology allows for additional pressure to be applied during the dewatering process, helping to treat sticky materials and improve dewatering efficiency.
Both belt diaphragm filter presses and drum filter presses are good choices. Filter presses with diaphragms utilize diaphragm technology to improve cookie compression, while the rotating drum design of drum presses helps create drier cookies.
Automatic and hydraulic filter presses are recommended. These machines integrate automated control systems and hydraulic technology to provide efficient and controlled operation, reducing manual intervention and ensuring consistent production.
Overall, all types of filter presses play a unique role in the field of solid-liquid separation. From the traditional plate and frame filter press to the modern membrane, belt and drum filter presses, each type of equipment is suitable for different application scenarios, according to the different material characteristics and process requirements, the choice of the right type of optimization of production efficiency, to achieve efficient solid-liquid separation process.
There are many kinds of sludge dewatering machines in the market, the most popular should be belt-press and filter-press, following are more modern models like screw-press, decanter centrifuge. Each type of machine has its own advantages and disadvantages. ARK Vietnam would like to provide some information for customers to choose the right product.
Product quality and price are decisive factors for investors. Quality and price will vary from different manufacturers.
On the market today, there are 4 popular types of sludge presses including decanter centrifuge, screw press, belt-press, and filter-press. Criteria for choosing the right sludge dewatering machine such as type of sludge, sludge characteristics, quality of sludge press, supplier, machine price ... (see more Criteria for an effective selection of sludge dewatering)
Decanter (Decanter Centrifuge Dewatering Machine) is the most advanced sludge treatment equipment today. It is manufactured by many brands, such as ARK Vietnam. ARK is confident to be the only company that directly manufactures decanter centrifuge in Vietnam.
A decanter centrifuge includes a rotating platen, a rotating screw (have same shaft but different speeds), a transmission box, a The main body of the machine is compact, but the rotation speed of the centrifugal shaft is very high ( rpm). The device has a closed structure and is easy to clean after use.
The flocculated sludge is fed into the body, the solid phase and the liquid phase are separated under the centrifugal force. Under the difference in shaft rotation speed, the whole solid is extracted. The water and sludge are discharged on two different outputs.

Advantages
Disadvantages:
Decanter centrifuge usually used in the wastewater treatment system for domestic/industrial. In particular, the device can handle livestock farm waste.
The cost depends on the amount of sludge to be treated, which will have an appropriate capacity. The difference in price between models is from $10,000 to $40,000.
Screw press (Multi-disk type screw press Dewartering machine) It is a new generation sludge press with many outstanding functions. Suitable with various types of sludge, widely used in sludge treatment.
Structure diagram of screw press, type SV-RT
The main parts of screw press include a screw, filter, sludge-polymer reaction tank, and body. The machine has a compact structure when combining a sludge-polymer reaction tank and a dewatering unit. In addition, the closed structure makes the equipment more durable and easy to maintain.
The inlet sludge is concentrated and pressed to dewater at the same time. The filter section consists of movable rings and fixed rings that perform the function of flipping the sludge and separating the sludge from the water. The filtered sludge is then moved and pressurized by a rotary screw, which is dried out by the discharge outlet. The liquid phase is separated by gravity between the gap of two adjacent discs.
Advantages
Disadvantages:
The screw press is used with different types of sludge. Even high-viscosity sludge such as food processing, milk production, etc.
The screw press has 3 types: S-ST, S-RT, and SV-RT. The price of SV-RT is considered the cheapest and widely used in Vietnam. The difference between the three types at the same capacity is from $3,500 - $10,000.
Belt-press (Belt Press Dewatering Machine) is a sludge treatment equipment that has appeared for a long time and is trusted by many investors. The machine has a simple structure, easy to use and maintain. The device can change the moisture content of the sludge when adjusting the conveyor.
