Automatic Chamber Filter Press Enable Efficient Iron Tailings Treatment

Iron tailings, a major solid waste discharged after iron ore concentrate extraction, are a significant component of mining waste due to their low-grade valuable elements. In today's climate of promoting green mining and sustainable development, safe, efficient, and environmentally friendly treatment of iron tailings, while achieving high-value resource utilization, has become a focus of industry attention. To address this challenge, Quanhong automatic chamber filter press, with its superior solid-liquid separation performance, provides an innovative solution for iron tailings treatment, reducing energy consumption and reusing water resources.

A Key Tool for Dry Tailings Discharge

After undergoing complex processes such as grinding, flotation, and magnetic separation (or leaching), iron ore produces tailings slurry containing a large number of fine solid particles. Filter presses can efficiently separate these solid particles from the water, fundamentally reducing tailings discharge and alleviating the environmental burden.

In this advanced dry tailings discharge process, the fine tailings slurry is first classified and concentrated in a cyclone before entering a high-efficiency thickener for further concentration. Finally, our company's automatic chamber filter press performs the crucial high-pressure dewatering step. This crucial step produces filter cakes with extremely low moisture content (typically below 15% to 20%). These filter cakes can be directly transported to a stockpile via a belt conveyor for safe storage or reused as building materials, completely eliminating the safety risk of dam failure in traditional wet-drain tailings dams and significantly improving the mine's safety factor and environmental compliance.

Filtrate Reuse Achieves "Zero Discharge" of Wastewater

Our automatic chamber filter press solution not only focuses on efficient dewatering but also on closed-loop water recycling. The clear filtrate separated during the filtration process can be directly reused in the thickener or mineral processing line, forming a closed-loop system.

This systematic closed-loop design maximizes the recovery and utilization of tailings water, effectively addressing water shortages and wastewater discharge challenges in mining operations, and truly achieving the green mining goals of wastewater reuse and "zero discharge" of water resources.

Core Advantages of Automatic Chamber Filter Press

Our company's core product, automatic chamber filter presses, have become the cost-effective, top choice for dry tailings drainage thanks to the following core advantages:

1. Extremely Low Moisture Content

Utilizing an optimized structural design and high-pressure hydraulic system, we achieve extremely high pressing pressures (up to 1.5 MPa), ensuring low filter cake moisture content and high solids content, fully meeting the stringent requirements for tailings dry drainage or resource recovery.

2.Automation and Efficiency

The entire operation process, including feeding, squeezing, cake discharging, and filter cloth washing, is highly automated, significantly reducing manual intervention, improving single-shift processing efficiency, and ensuring continuous and stable production line operation.

3.Energy Saving and Low Consumption

Compared to similar high energy consuming equipment, our filter presses consume less energy per unit of processing volume, effectively controlling mine operating costs and maximizing green benefits.

4. Long-lasting and Stable

Core components (such as filter plates and main beams) are constructed from high-quality, wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials and craftsmanship. The robust structural design and reliable sealing ensure long-term, high-intensity operation in harsh mining environments, resulting in a low equipment failure rate and a long service life.

The automatic chamber filter press is a modern tailings treatment system that integrates high efficiency, safety, environmental protection, and water conservation. We are committed to helping your mine achieve safe production, efficient operations, and resource utilization, transforming the environmental impact of iron ore tailings into significant resource and economic value.
