Claims14
In a belt filter press for deliquifying a material, of the type comprising two endless filter belts disposed adjacent each other so that a portion of the belts travel together and converge towards one another, the belts moving together over a wedge section having a curved portion defining a concavity, and over which a material between the belts is compressed, the improvement wherein:
- the concavity of the wedge section is oriented toward gravity.
In a belt filter press for deliquifying a material, of the type comprising two spliced endless filter belts disposed adjacent each other so that a portion of the belts travel together and converge towards one another, the belts moving together over a wedge section, and over which a material between the belts is compressed, the improvement wherein:
- the wedge section comprises a plurality of parallel-spaced belt supports.
