December 2017 E-Newsletter: Focus on Solids and Fluids Management

M.W. Watermark offers a variety of options for the management and disposal of solids and fluids. These options are designed to work with a filter press and include leg extensions, discharge chutes, platforms, cake hoppers and drip trays.

The materials management option that works best for your application depends on several factors, including the size of your filter press, the layout of your facility, and the amount of filter cake (solids) for disposal.

If mobility is important for your project, M.W. Watermark offers trailer-mounted filter presses as part of our equipment rental program.
Leg Extensions, Discharge Chutes and Platforms

If you are using a smaller press, M.W. Watermark offers leg extensions, discharge chutes and platforms allowing filter cake to be discharged directly to a drum or bulk bag. 

The extended legs (or platform) serve to raise the press, providing space below for single or multiple containers to catch the filter cake - when the press is opened and the cake is released.

Larger presses can be equipped with an elevated platform that allows roll-off containers to be placed underneath. A "roll-off" platform can be very efficient when managing a large volume of filter cake, as the wheeled bins can be loaded onto a truck relatively quickly for haul-away.

M.W. Watermark has a team of experts in-house that can work with you to design the best material handling system for your particular application. Contact us today to learn more.

Self-Dumping Cake Hopper (Filter Cake Dumpster)

Regardless of the size of your filter press, a self-dumping cake hopper is very useful for easily handling discharged solids.
 
Also referred to as a filter cake dumpster, these hoppers are furnished with large ball-bearing casters for quick positioning under a press, either manually or by using a fork-lift truck. Once filled, the operator picks up the hopper using a fork-lift and positions it over a large container. The off-center hopper pan is easily emptied by pulling the spring-loaded self-dump pin.

Did you know that M.W. Watermark offers filter cake dumpsters in various sizes to fit the dimensions of your filter press?


Automatic Drip Trays for Fluids Management

The addition of automatically actuated drip trays helps catch any filtrate that escapes from between the filter plates during the dewatering process or when power-washing filter plates and cloths. 

The trays are held in the horizontal position during dewatering or cloth washing and rotated to the vertical position for filter cake discharge. The drip trays can be hydraulically or pneumatically operated.

The trays slope to the non-operating side of the filter press, where the flow is directed to a launder. The launder can be piped for recycling, or to a drain depending on project requirements.

Mobile Filter Press Units for Rental

If portability is a factor in your solid-liquids separation project, then a trailer-mounted filter press from M.W. Watermark may be the best option. Many of our customers have found that a mobile filter press can serve as the ideal choice for dewatering a slurry and managing solids in a remote location.
