Their Problem
An instant coffee manufacturer in Thailand was dewatering sludge by using a filter press. Because 10~20% of the coffee beans is oil, the sludge contained much oil as well. This oily sludge was frequently clogging the filter and forced the user to stop the equipment for maintenance.
AMCON’s Solution
The Self-cleaning mechanism enabled VOLUTE™ to stably dewater the oily sludge, which easily causes clogging troubles and difficult to be dewatered. Our customer has been satisfied with the continuous operation without using washing water to prevent clogging troubles.
