Jakarta, Indonesia A leading printing and packaging company in Indonesia has successfully implemented the XMY60/870-30 automatic chamber filter press to treat wastewater containing water-based ink.   The system addresses the client’s need for efficient solid-liquid separation, handling 20 m³ of wastewater daily with high solid impurity levels (5,000–10,000 mg/L).

Challenge

The client required a robust filtration solution to:

Process granular solids (avoiding powdery solids that clog filter cloths).

Ensure open-flow discharge for easy maintenance.

Incorporate hole-blowing functionality to reduce cake moisture.

Operate reliably in a manual mode with minimal automation dependencies.

Solution

The XMY60/870-30 filter press delivered:

High Capacity: 60 m² filtration area and 900 L chamber volume.

Durable Build: Carbon steel structure with reinforced polypropylene plates (870 × 870 mm).

Efficient Filtration: Central feeding at 0.6 MPa pressure, producing 25–30 mm thick cakes.

Hole-Blowing Function: Utilizes client-provided air compressor to dry cakes and reduce moisture.

Open-Flow Discharge: Filtrate discharges via faucets for easy observation and handling.

Technical Highlights

Automated Hydraulic System: Ensures consistent plate compression and pressure maintenance.

Manual Plate Pulling: Simplifies operation and reduces complexity.

Customizable Options: HG flanges (JIS/ANSI/DIN optional) and plastic water tanks (stainless steel available at extra cost).

Results

The client achieved:

Efficient removal of granular solids, preventing cloth clogging.

Reduced cake moisture via hole-blowing, easing disposal.

Compliance with environmental standards for wastewater discharge.

Client Feedback

"The XMY60/870-30 system has transformed our wastewater management.   The hole-blowing function significantly reduces cake moisture, and the open-flow design simplifies maintenance."   – Plant Manager.
