Bench Press - Testing Facility

What is the BenchPress?

The BenchPress was designed by Solids Technology engineers for their own use, but following numerous enquiries from plant engineers and laboratory technicians out on sites we have made it available to you.

It is a smartly designed, simple piece of equipment that simulates a beltpress. It comes in a durable aluminium case, complete with belt fabric samples and a comprehensive step-by-step technical guide. Our engineers find it is particularly useful when commissioning new installations, troubleshooting process problems, or predicting cake dryness for new sludges.

How Can the BenchPress Save you Time and Money?

The BenchPress is a clean, fast method of simulating a beltpress and will assist you to:

• Select the best polymer type for your sludge
• Pinpoint the optimum polymer dose-rate
• Predict attainable cake dryness
• Test the strength of the flocc
• Measure the impact of belt speed
• Assess the suitability of beltpress technology for a particular sludge

The BenchPress comes in a smart, heavy-duty case with

• Belt filter fabric samples
• A detailed instruction leaflet to assist you when carrying out tests.

The Ideal Solution for:

• Pre-Tender Testing
• Commissioning
• Troubleshooting
• Process Monitoring
