Crowned Belt Press
Maskoub International offers the Crowned Belt Press as an optimal solution for high-efficiency sludge dewatering. What distinguishes Maskoub's design is its crowned rollers, slightly larger in diameter at the center than at the ends, so the belt self-centers, with less tracking deviation and edge wear.
18–35%Cake dryness1200 kgDS/h+30%Belt lifeHow it works Crowned Belt Press
Three precisely designed zones: a gravity zone to separate free water, a wedge zone for gentle progressive pressing that prevents floc loss, and a high-pressure zone with rollers of up to 180° wrap angle for a drier cake.
Uniform pressure distribution and fewer stoppages reduce energy and polymer consumption.
Gravity zone
Initial separation of free water.
Wedge zone
Gentle progressive pressing that prevents floc loss.
High-pressure zone
Rollers with up to 180° wrap angle for a drier cake.
Key advantages
Crowned rollers
Prevent belt deviation and keep it self-centered.
High dewatering efficiency
Three precisely designed zones.
Less energy and polymer
Uniform pressure and fewer stoppages.
Lower maintenance
Reduced belt-edge wear extends belt life by up to 30%.
Operational flexibility
Handles a wide range of industrial and municipal sludges.
Multiple options
Automatic belt washing, multiple fabrics, stainless steel 304/316.
