Customer Background:
This large industrial wastewater treatment plant is responsible for treating the mixed industrial wastewater generated by dozens of manufacturing enterprises in the park. It handles a huge amount of sludge daily. As the park expands, its original semi-automatic filter press equipment has become a bottleneck restricting its processing capacity and operational efficiency.
Core challenge:
High operating costs: Each filter press requires a dedicated operator for unloading, and the manpower cost for three shifts is extremely high. Moreover, there are problems of “difficulty in recruiting workers and retaining them”.
Processing capacity bottleneck: The single cycle operation time of semi-automatic equipment is too long, and the processing capacity has failed to meet the increasing demand for sludge. During peak periods, the processing is not timely.
The problems of stability and standardization: Manual operation leads to unstable parameters such as discharging cycle and pressing pressure, and significant fluctuations in filter cake moisture content, which affects the subsequent disposal costs and environmental protection compliance.
The working environment is harsh: Workers need to come into close contact with the sludge at the site, and the working conditions are poor, posing potential safety and hygiene risks.
Solution:
This factory has introduced several fully automatic box-type filter presses provided by us. The core configuration includes:
Fully automatic operation system: Integrated PLC control, enabling fully automated operation throughout the process from pressing, feeding, pressing, to automatic plate pulling and automatic discharge.
Implementation results:
After the new equipment was put into operation, it immediately achieved significant economic and management benefits:
Labor costs have been significantly reduced: “Unattended” operation has been achieved, directly replacing 3 operational positions. Annual savings in labor costs exceed 250,000 yuan, and the investment return period is short.
Processing efficiency has been significantly improved: The fully automatic cycle has reduced the processing time for a single batch by 35%, and the daily processing volume has increased by 50%. This has completely solved the problem of capacity constraints.
Disposal costs and risks have decreased: The moisture content of the filter cake has been steadily reduced to below 28%, and its weight and volume have decreased. The annual savings in hazardous waste transportation and disposal costs exceed 150,000 yuan.
Customer review:
“This equipment upgrade has been one of our most successful investments. Not only is it highly cost-effective, but more importantly, it has enabled our operations to enter a new stage of automation and intelligence. Now our processing capacity is more guaranteed, the water quality is more stable, and we no longer need to worry about recruiting operators or ensuring safe production during night shifts.” – The plant’s operations manager
How to choose the right model?
- What is the liquid that needs filtering?
2. What is the flow rate?
3. Temperature/PH value?
4. What are the main solid impurities that need to be filtered from the liquid? What is their content?
We can make recommendations based on this information.
