Welders Filtration Technology (WFT), is a long-established and widely respected leader in het world of filter press design, manufacture, installation and maintenance. Our extensive product line-up ranges from small manual to large fully automatic and computer controlled filter presses. Everyone working in the field of solid-liquid seperation knows that all filtration problems have their own unique character. Individual solutions and custom-made equipment are the order of the day, not only for the press itself but also in terms of operation, safety, sludge, cleaning, filtrate removal and the processing of filtrate and filter cake. WFT has the experience, know-how and technology required to build total solutions. Moreover, we remain flexible and approachable, and can supply orders for just one or more products from our range. Our goal is to provide our customers with a perfect result at the lowest possible total cost of ownership. Filter presses are used in a wide spectrum of industrial sectors, including flue gas treatment, soil and water treatment in the enviromental sector, the removal of residual materials in the mining industry, in the electroplating industry, in the textile industry and in glass manufacture. Filtration technology is also used extensively by pharmaceutical companies and in the food and beverage industry. Filter presses are essential in the production of sugar, starch, vegetable oils, wine and beer. In many cases, the main objective is to extract the solid component rather than to separate and recover the constituent parts of a mixture, e.g. minerals, metals, pigments and silicates. A thorough feasibility study must be carried out first, to make a correct assessment of the filtration requirements. The study defines the characteristics of the mixture and the objectives of the filtration process, and is carried out in our in-house laboratory. We can also install a pilot filter press to test the performance of the proposed solution in practice.
