FAUDI Gravity belt filter
at new high-tech engine plant

To complement the largest single order ever received by FAUDI, a special belt filter system, FAUDI type AFB 7.5/1000 in stainless steel, for the filtration of washing water was installed at our customer’s new high-tech engine plant. The plant filters used wash water from a total of 18 cleaning boxes in the crankshaft line. The main function of the design is to filter solid dirt and skimmed oil. The cleaned wash water is stored in the tank below the belt filter. A supply pump delivers the liquid to a supply line. A flow meter is integrated into the line to determine the flow rate. In addition, an emulsion mixing device for the concentrate is located on the belt filter. A belt skimmer is provided for the separation of floating oil. Last but not least, the plant contains its own control cabinet with a panel for controlling the FAUDI belt filter. In this way, we guarantee our customers independent control of the plant without having to rely on third parties, because at FAUDI the entire electronics of the filters and plants are developed in-house.
