In May FILTRATEC was able to launch a new mobile filter press. This is the completely restored Press No. 20, a mobile membrane filter press with an output chamber volume of 1.3 m³. Despite the current economic crises FILTRATEC pushes forward its way of innovation and investments for the ongoing modernisation of the engaged machinery. “Our customers require modern and well developed equipment at the state of the art. Therefore this investment was the absolutely right decision, although the economic circumstances are difficult”, Gerd Brückerhoff, technical directing manager of FILTRATEC, is convinced.

By constructing the new plant completely new ideas have been implemented. At the first time the filter press itself is not placed in the middle of the trailer but moved to one side. For this reason a new trailer with an “intelligent” chassis was necessary to compensate the uneven weight distribution with the help of a modern air suspension. In the result the operators benefit from a relevant increase of the ease of movement at the operating-side of the filter press.

“With this filter press we set a new standard regarding safety and ergonomics at work within the mobile sector”, Dr. Dorothee Yzermann, responsible for quality, health & safety and environmental protection, is pleased about the new plant.

The new filter press is constructed for the super-mobile operations and carries the basis equipment, e. g. feeding pump, filtrate pump, forklift for the filter cake as well as flexible pipes on board. The customers benefit from the fast installation and reduced transportation costs. Therefore this plant is well prepared for missions far away from the home base. Following this the first destination is located abroad.

We wish a good trip!
