Stone and Ceramics Filter Press

Filter Presses Australia - FilquipFilquip is a supplier of filter presses for the Stone, Ceramics and Tile cutting industries. The filter press allows solids/liquids seperation of the suspended fines in the cutting water. The filtered cutting water can then be run through a final polishing filter or used directly back into the cutting wash water directly.

  • Pressing force up to 20MPa.
  • PP filter plates for corrosion resistance and elevated temperatures up to 70DegC.

Filquip also supplies filter press cloths in many varieties and sizes to suit your application.

 

 

Asphalt Plant Stone Dust Conditioning System

Filquip has recently worked with local installation contractors to specify and supply a system to out-load the excess stone from a Benninghoven Asphalt Plant. This Dust Conditioning system uses a screw conveyor to take the excess dust created in the asphalt process and condition it with water to minimise the release of dust during open truck filling for disposal.

This system results in a significant saving in ongoing costs for the Asphalt plant as they no longer require Vacuum Sucker Trucks to remove the Excess Stone Dust from the Silos.

Filquip was proud to supply the following equipment for this build:

  • Dustfix Dust Conditioner (Dustfix 20 Model, 20m3/hr capacity)
  • TOREX Rotary Valve RV20.20
  • Local control panel for system and water supply
  • Tubular Screw Conveyor from Silo Outlet to Dustfix Unit (TS.273 Model, DN250, 5620mm Long, Painted Mild Steel, 5.5kW Motor)

Brewery Grain Tip in Stations and Conveyors

Filquip has recently supplied some new Brewing Grain Conveying Systems. These two systems take the grain from tip in hoppers to their required destinations at the Brewery.

System 1 utilises a vacuum conveying system to move the grain from a Rotary Valve on the tip in station to a batching hopper with WAMFlo Dust Collector.

System 2 has a twin inlet WAM Horizontal Screw Conveyor with Vertical Screw Conveyor Combo allowing grain to be conveyed from the mill to the Grist Bin or grains to bypass the mill and be conveyed into the Grist Bin.

Screw Conveyor Transfer Point Dust Control

Since 1999 Filquip have specialised in Dust Control for industrial applications including screw conveyor transfer points.

We recently completed a project with 12 conveyor transfer points that are all dust free now thanks to the sized and positioned dust collectors from Filquip.

 

Concrete Vibrators from OLI that fit Wacker Mounts

Filquip is pleased to introduce the new OLI External Electric High Frequency Vibrators for formworks and moulds. This new design allows precast plants to use quick release mounts that suit both OLI and Wacker vibrators. Therefore existing Wacker Vibrators can be replaced with our OLI series without modifications to your existing formwork and cradles.

High frequency electric vibrators are used in construction sites and in precast manufacturing plants to obtain high-quality products (exposed concrete), with excellent aesthetic results and weather resistance. The vibration is transmitted to the concrete indirectly through formworks or mould.

The OLI external electric vibrators are characterised by high operating efficiency and ease of installation. Specifically designed cradles reduce the time required for installing and repositioning.

Vacuum Powder Transfer for Packing Line

Filquip has designed, supplied, installed and commissioned a new vacuum suction feeder system with buffer hopper to provide milk powders into a can filling machine.

The following Filquip equipment package was provided for this system:

  • SF4551: 51mm Venturi Suction Feeder and Suction Wand to provide vacuum wand conveying of up to 2m3/hr of milk powder up into the buffer hopper
  • 150L SS304 Receiver Hopper with VBS Aerators and OT8 Vibration Flow aids on the cone.
  • Hopperjet 24VDc Dust Collector / Vent with Automated Reverse Pulse filter cleaning
  • V2FS200.AI Pneumatically Actuated Butterfly Valve with 24VDC coil for controlling the flow of product from the buffer into the existing auger filling machine below.

Hand tip-in station

Filquip has designed and supplied a new hand tip-in station for 25kg bags with integrated dust extractor that allows the operator to place a 25k bag within the hood on the grill and split it while all the dust and air moves away for the operator up into the dust extractor. The dust extractor cleans back down into the hood and hopper below once the door is closed on the hood.

The hopper is connected into a TX Stainless Steel Screw conveyor with a pneumatically actuated butterfly valve on its outlet. The screw conveyor moves the decanted product from the bags into the mixing tank and once conveyed the butterfly valve closes to limit moisture going back into the dry product conveyor system.

The following Filquip equipment package was provided for this system:

  • RSM03 Manual Bag Splitting Station with 1.1kw Fanset, Filter Cartridges set and reverse pulse automated cleaning system. 170L storage hopper on station
  • TX SS304 Screw Conveyor, 100mm Diameter, 2500mm long with 200mm flared and extended inlet cone
  • V2FS100.AI Pneumatically Actuated Butterfly Valve with 24VDC coil

Automated 25kg Bag Break Station

RSA automatic 25kg Bag Unloading Station

The RSA Automatic bag splitter allows the splitting of bags loaded onto a conveyor belt by pressing and cutting to unload the product in an automatic and safe manner.

The RSA Automatic Bag Splitting Station by EXTRAC is great value, offering cutting edge technology with few moving components and a simple operating principle.

It is made up of a splitting unit which consists of a trough that encloses an extra heavy-duty splitting screw which cuts the bags and empties the product into the screening unit that is a horizontal, cylindrically shaped rotating screen, complete with drive unit. On top of the screening unit a suitable fan-operated dust collector can be integrated. Alternatively, the RSA is supplied with connecting spigots for a central de-dusting unit.

The RSA Automatic Bag Splitter is used for splitting and emptying of single or multiple layer bags made from paper, polyethylene, polyethylene-lined paper, interwoven plastic, or polyethylene-lined interwoven plastic.
The bags are loaded manually or via a belt conveyor into the inlet which is covered by a dust collection hood. The bags drop from the belt on a heavy-duty shaftless screw. Thin bags will burst open just through impact. Bags with multiple layers or those made of elastic plastic material are pulled in by the slowly turning screw and ripped open through a scissor effect between screw and trough. Interwoven plastic bags are cut open by a multiple cutting disc set mounted on top of the inlet. The bag contents fall through the screen mesh into a collecting device mounted on the outlet of the machine allowing the product to be fed into a Screw Conveyor, Rotary Valve or other conveying system.

  • Available in Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel 304 or Stainless Steel 316.
  • Available with duct collection filter mounted on the unit.
  • Available with connection for a centralised dust collection system to be connected.
  • Low operating noise.
  • Able to handle bags of different sizes without machine adjustment.
  • Low product residue.

Bulk Bag Unloader on Scales

Filquip designs and supplies Bulk Bag Unloaders with weighing systems to automate the bulk bag unloading process, so the correct weight of product is decanted from the screw conveyor into the next plant process.

When required, the customers plant PLC specifies the weight of product needed and the load cells on the system provide loss in weight feedback to help control the screw conveyor which meters the product from the bulk bag until the correct weight has been decanted into the tank.

  • WAM SBB-HFF-M Bulk Bag Decanter with Monorail or Forklift Fed System
  • Optional 2T Electrical Crane Hoist for the Monorail
  • Optional Bulk Bag Massaging System for improved product flow out of each bulk bag
  • Manual Isolation Slide Gate Valve between the bulk bag unloader and the Screw Conveyor
  • TX SS304 Screw Conveyor,multiple diameters and lengths available.
  • Support Skid Frame in SS304 PFC with integrated Load Cells, Summing Box and Weight Indicator
  • Integrated Control Panel with Local and Remote Operation modes
