Filtres Philippe® Belt Filter

Horizontal Vacuum
Belt Filter Systems
At RPA Process, our comprehensive line of Filtres Philippe®
horizontal belt lters provide an ideal solution for your mineral or
bulk chemical processing applications. New technologies
and years of expertise guarantee 98% uptime to ensure you
meet your processing goals.
In a lter cloth and rubber belt system, the belt is not only
a key operating component, but is also a signicant portion
of the cost of the system. With this in mind, RPA Process
manufactures and tests the belts in dedicated facilities.
Each belt is run on a proprietary robotic machine to remove
residual stresses, true edges, cut grooves and bore drain
holes. Our belts feature patented chemically bonded belt
curbs, and are factory spliced and hot vulcanized to ensure
a long operating life.
The modular construction of our belt lters allow for maximum operating efciency, perfect alignment and easy
access for routine maintenance. Frames are constructed
from the highest quality steel and are bolted together for
easy disassembly. For facilities with limited access, the
belt can be replaced from the top for a speedy change-out.
The exclusive tilting vacuum box design facilitates quick
inspections and easy access to replace wear strips.
Key features include:
• Available in a wide range of sizes from lab-scale units
of 0.25 m² (2.69 ft²) to large production systems of 200 m²
(2,152 ft²)
• Multiple washing and drying zones
• Rubber-lined tail and head pulleys with a single steel
shaft to ensure corrosion resistance and stiffness that
eliminates torsion effects
• Innovative belt support system with water-lubricated
endless wear belts and replaceable slides to reduce
friction and ensure that the belt remains at and in
contact with the vacuum box
• Cloth tensioning and guiding system features easy
adjustment for optimum running efciency and long
cloth life.
• Optimised cloth and belt cleaning to reduce water
consumption and extend operating life
