Product catalog summary
Process Description:
The filtering cycle starts with the closure of the filter press using a hydraulic system. Sludge is pumped into chambers, forming cakes as solids are retained on the cloth surface. Filtration pressure increases until maximum pressure is reached, after which the sludge pump stops and compressed air cleans the central channel. The filter press then opens to discharge the cakes.

Automatic Sludge Dewatering:
Pressing cycle time varies by sludge type, with waste solids requiring shorter cycles than food industry sludge. The system is designed for easy inspection, troubleshooting, and contamination protection, making it suitable for hazardous products.

Draco® Compact Equipment:
Available in 20ft or 40ft containers, this compact assembly allows for rapid installation, easy transport, minimal footprint, and low visual impact.

Advantages and Applications:
The Draco® Filter Press offers high dryness, reducing sludge management costs. It operates unassisted for 24 hours with low water and maintenance costs. Suitable for wastewater, stone, aggregates, tunnel boring machines, and industries like antibiotics, food, and chemicals.

Technical Specifications:
Models vary in plate and chamber numbers, dimensions, weights, and filter areas. The frame is made of ST-37/AISI-304 with an epoxy paint finish, and operation is automatic with a working pressure of 8 bars.

Standard Equipment & Optional Features:
Includes protective covers, lifting eye bolts, and ISO regulation documentation. Certificates such as CE, factory test, and quality certificates are provided. Optional features include washing systems, conveyor belts, and sludge conditioning tanks.

Determining Filter Press Size:
Consider daily sludge volume, dry matter in kg, and working hours. An example shows pressing without lime, achieving 30% dryness with a sludge volume of 7m3/day.

Specifications and Calculations:
To calculate dry matter, multiply volume by dryness percentage, resulting in 420 kg of dry matter. The output cake should be 30% dry, equating to 1.4 m3/day or 1,400 liters/day of cakes. For four cycles per day, each cycle handles 355 liters.

Equipment Recommendation:
The recommended filter press model for this operation is the FPA 80/25.

Global References:
The equipment is referenced in numerous countries, including Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, and more, indicating a wide international presence.

Company Information:
Toro Equipment S.L. manufactures the equipment, with factories in Villavaquerín and La Cistérniga, Valladolid, Spain. Contact details and website information are provided for further inquiries.

Filter press operation: Filtering cycle will start with the filter press closed. 1. CLOSURE OF FILTER PRESS. The initial phase of the filtering cycle starts with the closure of filter press. Movable plate is triggered by hydraulic system and is moved closing the filter at the pressure needed for the work, which is controlled with a pressure switch positioned in hydraulic circuit. 2. FILLING. Starts the sludge pumping to filter press. Chambers are filled with sludge and starts the formation of cakes. Solid particles are retained on the cloth's surface, while the liquid crosses them and flows out...

Select your Filter Press ¿How to determine the size of the Filter Press you need?? Design Details: • Sludge volume per day. • Kg of dry matter. • No. of working hours per day. The following is an example of pressing without lime knowing that the dryness obtained is 30%. Input data: Sludge volume 7m3/day, at 6% dryness In order to obtain kg of dry matter, we have to multiply the volume by dryness. The result is 420-kg of dry matter. Dryness of output cake should be 30%. Therefore, we get 1.4 m3/day of cakes at 30% = 1,400 l/day. If we want to perform 4 pressing cycles per day: 1,400/4 = 355 l/cycle...
