The pump is the beating heart of the filter press, and the selection of the pump, as well as determining the performance of the plant in number of cycles and cube metres of sludge produced per hour, is the main component that determines the sludge dehydration rate and the residual humidity of the panels.


Air-operated, double-diaphragm pumps
Matec pumps are easily manageable, resistant to dry runs, self-priming (up to 7.5 m), they can work in submersed conditions and can be regulated by changing the compressed air pressure. They stand out for their high performance and reduced weight, that makes them ideal for many applications. Because of their flexibility and the wide range of available materials, they are perfect for transferring very viscous, abrasive fluids containing solid particles, with dry dust up to 19 mm in size, solvents, acids and even food liquids, which can be processed on specific conditions. The range includes special versions for the food industry and for high pressures up to 17 bar. A wide range of accessories is the finishing touch of this range.
