Specialized belts for dewatering processes
GKD
This company’s Belt 1003 model of filter belt is designed for dewatering applications in process water treatment, as well as the production of paper and pectin. The Belt 1003 achieves high transverse stability and particle retention. The belts come standard with an integrated wear indicator to provide greater assistance in determining mechanical abrasion. A contrasting colored core (photo) in the woven polyester monofilament provides an early visible indication of the degree of process-based wear or incorrect belt adjustment after loading the belt. This makes it possible to plan belt changes and promptly implement any necessary corrections. For applications with fibrous sludges, which are less capable of flowing, such as those typically encountered in the paper industry, model 1003 belts are also now available in a spiral configuration, which provides improved stability.
