With the Leiblein vacuum belt filter we enable new ways in sludge dewatering. It is used in a wide variety of industries and covers a wide range of sludge dewatering applications. Due to its special operating principle, the vacuum belt filter dewaters the filter cake/sludge cake gently and effectively at the same time. With our vacuum belt filter you can:
Thanks to its low investment and operating costs, the vacuum belt filter offers a cost-effective alternative to "conventional" sludge dewatering methods such as chamber filter presses or decanter centrifuges.
The common techniques of sludge dewatering include filter presses, chamber filter presses, screw presses, belt filter presses, decanters, centrifuges or decanter centrifuges. In the following, we have compared the most important properties of the individual sludge dewatering methods.
