A mechanical dewatering system and thermal drying device has been combined into one compact unit for drying all types of slurries. This cake-drying device is constructed with polypropylene membrane filter plates, which can be retrofitted for existing presses. Drying system is available in both side bar and overhead beam designs for semi-automatic or fully automatic presses. Consisting of a honeycomb structure, the press's insulated heating elements guide the heat to the interior of the filter press in a fast and efficient manner. After the filtration stage, the heating elements are activated to start an energy-saving, low temperature drying process. Optional sources of energy that are available include: hot water or steam.
