Belt filter systems

For your production

Our belt filter systems reliably remove solids from liquid media and extend the service life of your process media by keeping the liquids in your production clean.

Belt filter systems

Filtering with the latest technology

Belt filter systems are automatic filter systems for separating solids from liquids. They consist of a continuously circulating filter belt that removes particles from the process medium. Continuous filter belts made of plastic or stainless steel mesh as well as filter fleece rolls are used as filter media.

The design is horizontal or inclined. While simple systems work with gravity, more complex variants rely on positive pressure or negative pressure/vacuum to achieve higher filtration efficiency.

Our products at a glance

Every filtration requirement brings its own challenges. To master these, we offer three specially developed belt filter types. Each model is characterized by special properties and is suitable for different areas of application.

Our products in detail

Vacuum belt filter Pressure belt filter Folding belt filter
A filtration system that uses negative pressure to separate the finest particles from liquids. Particularly suitable for processes that require maximum purity, for example in the metal and automotive industries. The filter body also serves to hold and store the coolant volume of the system and supports the positive effect of long coolant retention times in the system. The moderate vacuum ensures high filtration performance with low energy consumption.
A high-performance filtration system for cooling lubricants and other liquids with a high solids content. The overpressure generated increases the filtration performance and ensures an efficient throughput with high filter cleanliness. Ideal for demanding applications with constantly high requirements.
A compact and flexible solution that automatically adapts to changing fill levels. Ideal for applications with fluctuating particle volumes and variable filtration requirements. Thanks to the intelligent design, efficiency remains consistently high under changing conditions. The functional principle of the hinged belt filter is based on the filtration of the cooling lubricant with overpressure, which ensures continuous and efficient separation of solids and liquids.

FAQ: Frequently asked questions

How do belt filter systems work?

The liquid to be cleaned enters the belt filter system from above and is distributed evenly over the entire surface of the filter medium, which consists of a special fabric or fleece. The filter fabric, which separates the dirty area from the clean area, retains dirt particles while the liquid flows through the filter fabric into a separate tank for further use.
As soon as the filter medium is saturated with particles, the belt motor starts, transports the contaminated filter fabric to the filter cake discharge and to the downstream automatic belt cleaning system. The separated filter cake is removed and clean filter fabric is fed in.

Belt filter systems are used in the following industries, among others:

  • Metalworking industry: Cleaning of cutting, grinding and rolling oils.
  • Automotive industry: Used in machining processes such as turning, drilling, milling or grinding.
  • Chemical industry: Filtration of process liquids for the production of chemicals and solvents.
  • Pharmaceutical industry: Ensuring the purity of liquids in pharmaceutical production processes.
  • Food industry: Clarification of liquids in production processes, for example in beverage production.
  • Plastics processing: Removal of particles from coolants and lubricants in plastics production.
  • Textile industry: Purification of process liquids to improve fabric finishing.
  • Environmental technology: Treatment of waste water and other environmentally relevant liquids.
