FILTRES PHILIPPE solutions offer unmatched throughput and minimal residual cake moisture content, while also ensuring cost-effective operations

FILTRES PHILIPPE Vacuum belt filters use a continuously moving flexible transport belt to separate solids from liquids. The belt travels between two deflection rollers, forming a tubular channel on the surface with the assistance of side bars. A vacuum is applied to the belt, drawing the liquid through the filter cloth and draining it away. The solid components remain on the filter cloth, forming the filter cake. At the end of the belt, the filter cloth is detached from the conveyor belt by the rear deflector roller. The conveyor belt returns to the front deflection cylinder, while the filter cloth is moved to another cylinder, where it is deflected and the filter cake is removed. The filter cloth is then washed and reused. 

Since 2011, FILTRES PHILIPPE product range belongs to HASLER Group whose collective mission, vision, and values drive creativity, customer-centricity, and unwavering commitment to excellence.
