53894001Used WSI 2.2 Meter Extended Gravity Twin Wire Mud Press, Model MM-2200-EXT
Used- WSI 2.2 Meter Extended Gravity Twin Wire Mud Press, Model MM-2200-EXT Gravity. Designed and built to receive pre-processed conditioned" mud sludge flow and remove a major portion of the water (Filtrate) from the mud. The average design flow of the 2.2 meter unit is 250 gallons per minute (gpm). Unit functions to dewater sludge by entrapping a uniform thin layer of conditioned sludge between two endless, porous synthetic belts. The feed box receives conditioned mud sludge flow from the upstream sludge conditioning system and distributes it in a uniform layer over the belt as the belt moves the sludge layer forward from feed box onto the gravity zone. The sludge moving through gravity zone is initially dewatered as gravity pulls the filtrate from the sludge layer through the porous belt to the catchment pan below. The wedge zone entraps the gravity thickened sludge forming a sludge sheet between the two belts. Filtrate (liquid extracted from the sludge) is pressed from the entrapped sludge cake as it traverses the length of the wedge zone to the Doctor blades. Mechanical pressure is applied to the belts to force a major portion filtrate from the sludge as it traverses the machine experiencing ever increasing pressure along its path to the dried sludge discharge point. Dry weight is 35,000 lbs; Serial # WBP-2.2M-25.0-004, New in 2017.

Filter Applications & Industry Uses
Used filters are essential in processes requiring separation of solids from liquids or gases to improve product quality and process efficiency. Depending on the filter type, these systems support batch or continuous filtration, fine particle removal, and dewatering.
Common industries and applications include:
Chemical processing: Catalyst recovery, slurry separation, and product purification
Food and beverage: Clarification, polishing, and ingredient processing
Pharmaceutical and biotechnology: Sterile filtration and product recovery
Wastewater treatment: Sludge dewatering and solids removal
Mining and minerals: Tailings processing and slurry filtration
Used Filter Buying Considerations
When selecting a used filter, evaluate both process requirements and equipment condition:
Filtration Type and Process Design: Determine whether batch or continuous filtration is required
Throughput and Capacity: Match system size and filtration area to production needs
Material Compatibility: Ensure construction materials suit process fluids and operating conditions
Automation and Controls: Review control systems, discharge mechanisms, and integration requirements
Condition and Maintenance History: Inspect filter media systems, plates, seals, and structural components
Why Buy Used Filters
Buying used filters can significantly reduce capital costs while still delivering reliable separation performance. Many filtration systems are available for immediate shipment, helping facilities avoid long OEM lead times. Purchasing used equipment also provides access to proven filtration technologies already used in demanding industrial environments.
Sell Your Used Filters
Aaron Equipment purchases surplus and used filters across a wide range of manufacturers and configurations. If you are upgrading equipment, shutting down operations, or selling idle assets, our team can assist with direct purchases or consignment.
A filter is an industrial separation device used to remove solids from liquids or gases. Filters are commonly used in processes requiring clarification, purification, or dewatering across many industries.
Used filters include filter presses, nutsche filters, rotary vacuum filters, pressure leaf filters, cartridge filters, and horizontal belt vacuum filters. Each type is designed for specific filtration processes, material characteristics, and production requirements.
Choosing the right filter depends on the type of material being processed, solids concentration, required throughput, and whether batch or continuous operation is needed. Equipment design, filtration media, and construction materials should also align with process requirements.
The cost of a used filter varies based on type, size, manufacturer, capacity, and condition. Larger or specialized filtration systems typically command higher prices. Availability and application requirements will also influence pricing.
