Chopper for Filterpapers

Description of plant

Contaminated filterpapers from the filtration of electroplating solutions and other process solutions are hazardous waste. With the specially designed chopper the filterpapers are disintegrated to form a pulp which is neutralized and treated with other metal finishing waste waters.

Before adding the contaminated filterpapers to the unit, the pumping chamber is filled with alkaline water. A few minutes after starting the chopper the papers are cut and disintegrated. The solution is circulated in a closed loop.

By switching the valves the solution is pumped to the neutralization tank for treatment. The pulp acts like a filter-aid and improves the filtration of the sludge on the filter-press.

The conical pumping chamber is directly connected to the chopper pump. The solidity of the design assures long-term, problem-free, and safe performance. The unit is movable.
