Filter Presses
GHT-F Fast Cycling Filter Press
The Diemme ® Filtration GHT-F Filter Press – developed specifically for highly filterable products, especially mining concentrates and tailings applications.
Insights
The electrically driven movement of the mobile header and the resulting accordion style opening of the plate pack reduces the cake discharge time and the entire opening – closing sequence of the filter. The result is a fast cycling filter press which allows increased production per unit are of the filter.
The overhead side beam structure facilitates the installation of different performance improving devices such as the 2 stage cloth rinsing system and the plate shaking system. Routine maintenance operations are made easier due to an integrated platform that enables access from above the machine. The plate pack is sealed closed by means of 4 hydraulic cylinders. This system ensures correct functioning of the machine and compensates for possible misalignments of the plate pack.

Thickeners
Diemme® Filtration’s High Rate thickeners are an advanced product derived from our extensive experience in solid/liquid separation applications, such as mining, chemical, waste water and more, coupled with our technical research to continuously improve and optimize sedimentation in filtration plants.
Insights
Diemme® Filtration’s High Rate thickeners cover a wide range of productivity and compliment the performance of Diemme®’s filter-presses, from our smallest to the largest unit.
Thickeners are available in “Full-Span-Bridge-Supported” design or “Center-Column-Supported” design (above 40m diameter). Furthermore, according to specific requirements of the project, tanks are available in “Free-Standing steel tank” design or “On-Ground concrete tank” design.
The process performance of a thickener is mainly defined by the way the equipment is able to mix the flocculant and solids particles, dissipate the energy and evenly distribute the slurry into the tank.
These functions are achievable with use of Diemme® Filtration’s feedwell, available with auto/forced dilution, designed with CFD simulations and validated in real operating conditions with outstanding performance in term of cost and operation.
The results are low flocculant consumption, remarkable overflow clarity and consistent underflow density.
