Horizontal vacuum belt filters for dewatering

DELKOR Horizontal Belt Filters (HBFs) are efficient and reliable liquid/solid separation machines suitable for dewatering/filtration of various commodities, including iron ore, mineral sands, lead, zinc concentrates, fine coal flotation concentrates, phosphates, phosphoric acid and uranium leach slurry.  

Dewatered tailings can either be used as mine backfill or sent straight to a Dry Stack Tailings (DST) impoundment. This results in a technically viable and economically feasible solution to handle process plant tailings in the safest and most environmentally friendly manner

Pioneering acid and tailings filtration technologies

DELKOR pioneered the use of test work data to produce commercial-scale machines and for sizing. We utilize our unique combination of application experience and product-based knowledge to design HBFs tailored to client and site requirements, selecting the materials of construction and ancillaries to suit the process. 

Having supplied more than 900 filters globally, of which >35% boast a belt width above 3.2 m, and designing the world’s largest individual machine and filtration plants, DELKOR’s reputation as a leader in HBFs is built on solid experience in the filtration process equipment field.
