JWI sludge dryers are designedto take over where filter pressesleave off. By reducing filter cake weight and volume the dryers representthe final step in lowering metal hydroxide sludge disposal costs. JWI offers both continuousand batch models.The continuousdryers are heatedby gas or electricity and the batch model uses a dry air concept.

Met-Chem Inc. manufacturesfilter pressesfrom 1 to 100 ft3 and sludge dryers from 2 to 75 ft3. The filter pressdewatersslurry from a variety of industrial wastes. It filters solids that have been settled in a clarifier or sludgethickener.The liquid gets squeezedout while the solids collect in the plate chambers.Oncethe filter press cycle is complete,the filter cake volume can be reduced further by using their batch-style, indirectly heated sludge dryer.
