Advanced filtration technology for demanding mineral processing applications

DELKOR Filter Presses deliver reliable performance and results in the most demanding applications. The filter press boasts a heavy-duty design with state-of-the-art hydraulic and automation systems and is customized to your process demands. 

DELKOR Filter Presses are suited to a wide range of processing applications, including: 

  • All mineral tailings
  • Dry stack tailings
  • Red mud filtration
  • Paste backfill
  • Leaching
  • Metallurgical sludges

DELKOR Filter Presses are suited to processing major and critical commodities, such as iron, copper, precious metal, lead, zinc, molybdenum, lithium, rare earths, coal, phosphates, cobalt, chromium, metallurgical sludges and platinum group metals (PGMs).Also explore DELKOR’s horizontal vacuum belt filter.

Features of the filter presses

The DELKOR Filter Press features fully automatic functionality, with a programmable logic control (PLC)-based control system for dependable performance and reliable operation. DELKOR also offers more advanced process control systems for machine diagnostics and obtaining real time operational data.

With 100 chambers per filter, the DELKOR Filter Press is one of very few high-capacity filters in the 2 m x 2 m size. Capacities up to 200 to 250 t/h per machine are not abnormal for some of the concentrate applications. 

High capacity means reductions in the overall OPEX by reducing the number of machines required or requirements for large plate sizes to achieve the required capacity. 

The DELKOR Filter Press produces the driest possible cake for tailings stacking, thus eliminating the need for tailings ponds and large areas required to process the tailings streams.

DELKOR’s laboratories perform comprehensive tests to ensure the best solutions are provided to customers.

Services cover OEM spare parts supply, upgrades, process optimization, service agreements and maintenance services.

Benefits

Increased filtration area

The increased number of chambers offered for a single 2 m x 2 m filter press with a single stroke opening and closing, gives more filtration area per installed area, with associated savings on plant construction.

Robust design

The filter press is designed with robust structures designed and analyzed using finite element analysis (FEA).

Complete solutions

Combining the filter press with the DELKOR Thickener provides seamless integration between sedimentation and filtration processes.
