DEWATERING & THICKENING
LEADING TECHNOLOGIES FROM THE PERFORMANCE LEADER
THE INDUSTRY’S MOST POPULAR
BELT FILTER PRESS HAS NO EQUAL

OR EASE-OF-USE
1. Conditioning Zone Optimized dewatering begins with the
proper conditioning of the slurry. The Ashbrook Simon-Hartley®
KLAMPRESS® is equipped with a proprietary, variable orifice,
in-line polymer mixer that combines polymer and slurry instantly
to facilitate rapid flocculation. In addition, KLAMPRESS®
technology keeps polymer usage to a minimum, dramatically
reducing operational costs—guaranteed.

Gravitational
Pressure
This zone quickly removes excess
liquids and thickens the incoming slurry
to improve its dewatering properties.
Rapid drainage is encouraged with the
use of proprietary chicanes.
ADVANCED KLAMPRESS® TECHNOLOGIES continue to set the industry
standard for high-performance dewatering. Over the decades, KLAMPRESS®
technologies have evolved and optimized dewatering processes. Today the

Rugged and reliable, KLAMPRESS® technologies have been the number

4. Radial Dewatering Zone
This zone introduces the slurry to
direct radial pressure as well as
the effects of shear forces. The
perforated roller in this zone aids
and accelerates the flow of filtrate

3. Wedge Dewatering Zone
The KLAMPRESS® fully adjustable
dewatering zone uses the natural effects
of gradually increasing pressure to reduce
the volumes of the suspension in
preparation for pressing.

5. Full-Pressure Dewatering Zone
In the Ashbrook Simon-Hartley®
KLAMPRESS®, full-pressure dewatering is
accomplished with gradually increasing
pressure levels—both radial and shear—to
achieve maximum dewatering without
embedding the slurry into the belts.

SmartPressª Control Center
In the KLAMPRESS®, the adjustable
wedge dewatering zone initiates the
application of pressure to the
dewatering process as it gradually
creates a convergence of the upper
®
and lower filter belts. The Klampress
dewatering wedge plate is fully
adjustable—by a single operator while
the KLAMPRESS¨ is in full operation—
allowing "in process" optimization.

SmartPress™ Belt Tensioning System
Individually
Adjustable
Chicanes
Operator specified belt tensioning
is automatically maintained by the
KLAMPRESS® SmartPress™ system,
recognizing subtle condition variations
such as belt stretching or process
changes. Tension outside of
the preset tension range will signal
the KLAMPRESS® Control Center.
KLAMPRESS®
chicanes are
individually
adjustable
for optimum
plowing efficiency
and pivot automatically to
allow obstructions to pass
without
damming.
Optimized Wiper
Bar Design
The specialized, high-density
polyethylene wiper bars
employed in the KLAMPRESS®
gravity drainage zone are closely
spaced and arranged in a
high-efficiency chevron pattern
to optimize filtrate removal.
The KLAMPRESS® employs a
radial grid and a perforated roller
to accelerate dewatering through
the use of shear forces and
direct radial pressure. This
zone acts to protect the solidsconcentrate from the effects of
pressure-shock as it moves
toward the full pressure zone.
Employing the science of finite
element analysis, frame components
are optimized to ensure rigidity
and accurate permanent alignment.
Open design maximizes access and
allows visual inspection of all
internal components. (Frame available
in hot-dipped-galvanized carbon steel
or stainless steel.)
Optimized Frame Design
Full-Pressure Dewatering Zone
The Ashbrook Simon-Hartley®
KLAMPRESS® can be configured with
four, six, eight or twelve rollers—
depending on individual solids
characteristics and dewatering
requirements—in its full-pressure
dewatering zone. Plus, the Ashbrook
SImon-Hartley® KLAMPRESS® can
be upgraded at any time over the
life cycle of the equipment.
The KLAMPRESS®
utilizes high-density
polyethylene, radius
grid to gently optimize dewatering
as the solidsconcentrate is
introduced to shear
forces in the preliminary pressure
dewatering zone.
Optimized Roller Design
The strength of the rollers on the
Ashbrook Simon-Hartley® KLAMPRESS®
are optimized through the use of
specialized stub-end-shaft construction.
Drive rollers are coated with Buna N
rubber and pressure rollers are coated
with thermoplastic nylon.

digital programmable
logic circuits to
accurately control
process activities,
facilitate ease-ofuse, and ensure
operational safety.
The arrangement of
the KLAMPRESS®
gravity drainage zone
ensures the even
distribution of the
conditioned slurry
over the effective
width of the moving
filter belt.
The filter belt wash stations on
the KLAMPRESS® are fitted with
papermachine-quality wash
systems for each filter belt.
Internal cleaning brushes are
provided at each of the cleaning
stations to keep the shower
nozzles open and free flowing.
Pre-Installed
Hydraulic
Power Unit
The hydraulic
power unit on
the KLAMPRESS®
is press-mounted
and self contained
to minimize on-site
installation
requirements.
KLAMPRESS® belt
alignment is assured
through the use of the
legendary SmartPress™,
auto-sensing, hydraulic
steering system. This selfcontained system provides
continuous, smooth
guidance control without
the need for operator
intervention.
The KLAMPRESS® is equipped
with a proprietary, variable
orifice, in-line polymer mixer that
combines polymer and slurry
instantly (in less than one second at
60 GPM). This advanced, non-clog,
static mixer is known for the mixing
precision and adjustable throat
which allows direct control of mixing
energy. Its design optimizes polymer
effectiveness and minimizes
polymer consumption.
