Detailed Description
- Polishing mud dewatering in the ceramic industry - Filter cloth and its applications in belt filter presses
Filter press type: Belt filter press
Application industry: Ceramic industry
Material description: Polishing mud dewatering
In the final stage of ceramic production, Dewatering of polishing slurry is an important process that cannot be ignored. How to dewater efficiently, reduce energy consumption, and improve the solid content of mud cakes directly affects environmental compliance, operating costs, and production line efficiency. In recent years, with the increasing emphasis on green manufacturing and resource recycling in the ceramic industry, Industrial filter cloth with belt filter press has been rapidly promoted in the field of polishing mud dewatering and has become a mainstream solid-liquid separation technology solution.
I. Challenges in the treatment of ceramic polishing mud
Ceramic polishing slurry comes from the processes of grinding, cutting, and polishing the surface of tiles during production and has the following characteristics:
- High water content Untreated polishing mud generally has a water content of 70% or more;
- High fineness and high viscosity The main components are fine powders such as alumina, silicate, and iron oxide;
- Large processing capacity and strong continuity It needs to adapt to the large-scale and continuous operation of ceramic enterprises;
- High environmental requirements The dewatered mud cake should be easy to transport and handle, and the filtrate should meet the discharge or reuse standards.
Therefore, the industry urgently needs a combination of equipment and materials that can both ensure dewatering efficiency and facilitate automated operation.
II. Belt filter press: Ideal equipment for continuous dewatering
Belt filter press With its compact structure, stable operation, strong processing capacity, and low energy consumption, it is widely used in the field of polishing mud dewatering:
- Continuous operation It can be linked with the front-end concentration pool and the rear-end conveying system;
- Gravity dewatering + Wedge-shaped zone pressing +S Shaped repeated pressing Multi-stage efficient dewatering;
- The solid content of the filter cake can reach 60%-70% to meet the needs of subsequent transportation or resource reuse;
- High degree of automation Saving manpower and reducing operating costs.
However, the performance of the equipment depends on its " Core consumables " Industrial filter cloth Precise matching and high-quality configuration.
III. Industrial filter cloth: Key guarantee for dewatering efficiency and system stability
In the belt filter press, The filter cloth is not only a carrier for carrying slurry, but also the core material that determines the filtration efficiency, filtrate quality, and filter cake formation effect. Excellent filter cloth design and processing can effectively improve dewatering speed, reduce resistance, extend service life, and reduce downtime and replacement frequency.
The core role of filter cloth in polishing mud dewatering:
- High water permeability and moderate mud retention
Polishing mud has a high content of fine particles, so filter cloths with reasonable pore size distribution and uniform structure should be selected, which can quickly drain water and prevent slurry leakage. - Excellent wear resistance and tensile strength
The filter cloth needs to withstand long-term tension, stretching, and pressing, and must have good mechanical strength and wear-resistant structure. - Easy filter cake removal and cleaning
The surface structure of the filter cloth has an important impact on the adhesion and stripping effect of the mud cake, which is directly related to the production line efficiency and automation level. - Custom processing and precise adaptation
For different models (such as single belt / double belt structure), different widths, and different pressing sections, precise punching, edging, joints, and guide strips should be provided.
