SLUDGE SEDIMENTATION AND FILTERED WATER RECOVERY TANKS

FASTRIP FP filter presses are normally connected to a sludge preparation and sedimentation tank and a filtered liquid recovery tank. The sludge mass formed in the paint stripping tank is sucked in and collected in the sedimentation tank. Its design and conical bottom promote the natural settling of sludge, which is then easily sucked up by the filter press pump. The presence of a level sensor allows the filling level of the unit to be adjusted at will according to specific parameters set by the software, either continuously or discontinuously. The tank is equipped with an ATEX pneumatic mixer for mixing ALITFLOCK flocculants. The filtered paint stripper coming out of the filter press is then collected in the recovery tank. This transfer takes place by gravity: therefore, the filter press and its recovery module must be placed close to each other. Again, the presence of a level sensor allows the filling level of the unit to be adjusted at will according to specific parameters set by the software, either continuously or discontinuously. Both tanks are made in AISI 304 steel, they have a conical bottom, and they are equipped with a level sensor, an opening lid, and an outlet valve at the bottom.

Alitflock 4840

This powder product can be used to improve the filtration quality and speed of filter presses with paint stripping baths. ALITFLOCK 4840 is to be added and mixed directly into the sludge, before the filter press phase. Its use guarantees much shorter filtration cycles, much drier sludge cakes, and easier detachment from the filter plates.
