Concentrate filter press feed

Understanding challenges in dewatering

In the dewatering processes, the high capacity, high-pressure demands placed on your feed pumps requires a reliable and robust fluid transfer solution. 

Bredel peristaltic hose pumps are less impacted by fluid dynamics such as paste density, viscosity, suction conditions, and discharge pressure and are not affected by the abrasive paste or slurry. 

Adopting the right solutions

Hose pumps can reduce filter capacity by as much as 75% and use far less water compared to other pump types. The only wear part is the hose, which can be replaced in-situ in minutes, without any requirement for special tools. Pumps are self-priming and capable of running dry safely.

• Hose pumps have proven ability to transfer abrasive pastes and slurries
• Handle up to 80% solids content 
• No ancillary equipment, check valves, sealing water flush systems or run-dry protection required
• Reduce filter capacity by as much as 75%
