Klampress Info

Versatility of the Klampress makes it the #1 choice of municipalities today for their dewatering needs.
Zone approach dewatering is the strength of the Klampress
Performance and long life make the Klampress the Benchmark of the industry.

Advanced Klampress Technologies continue to set the industry standard for high-performance dewatering. Over the decades Klampress technologies have evolved and optimized dewatering processes. Today the Klampress stands as the benchmark by which all other models, methods and approaches are compared.

Versatility: Makes the Klampress the #1 choice of municipalities today.

The design of the Klampress has been carefully planned over the years and has evolved into the most versatile Model of Belt Filter Press on the market today. Each model is designed to meet the high demands of long life and dependability of today's water and wastewater treatment plants. Today's Klampress is available in the following configurations:

Standard Gravity Deck
Extended Gravity Deck and Wedge Zone
Extended Deck High Solids
Standard Deck 3-Belt
Extended Deck 3-Belt
Extended Deck 3-Belt High Solids

No matter the need, no matter the application, there is a Klampress model that will fit your specific dewatering needs and application. Contact us today and let us help you define your Klampress.

Zone Approach dewatering: There are 5 key zones that allows the Klampress to optimize the dewatering process through this Engineered approach to dewatering.

1. Conditioning Zone: Optimized dewatering begins with the proper conditioning of the slurry. Each Klampress is equipped with a proprietary variable orifice in-line polymer mixer that combines polymer and slurry instantly to facilitate rapid flocculation. This design allows the Klampress to use the lowest dosage of polymer and achieve the highest cake solids over all other competitors.
2. Gravity Dewatering Zone: This zone quickly removes excess liquids and thickens the incoming slurry to improve its dewatering properties. Rapid drainage is encouraged with the use of proprietary design chicanes.
3. Wedge Dewatering Zone: The Klampress fully adjustable wedge dewatering zone uses the natural effects of gradually increasing pressure to reduce the volumes of of the suspension in th preparation for pressing.
4. Radial Dewatering Zone: This zone introduces the slurry to direct radial pressure as well as the effects of shear forces. The radial grid in this zone aids and accelerates the flow of filtrate away from the pressure area.
5. Full Pressure Dewatering Zone: The full pressure dewatering is accomplished with gradually increasing pressure levels to achieve maximum dewatering without embedding the slurry into the belts.

Performance: All Klampress models are clearly built for long life and its design includes unique engineering features for high performance:

Proprietary polymer mixer for immediate and precise adjustment of polymer rate and clog free continuous operation.
Smartpress belt tensioning and alignment system, which automatically accommodates variation in sludge feed to ensure consistent and continuous output to pre-set requirements.
Lifetime rated bearings
