Mobile Solids Dewatering Unit – Reliable, Portable, and Industry-Ready
Efficiently dewater sludge and solids across mining, power, steel, pulp & paper, chemical, and municipal industries with UCC Environmental’s mobile solutions.
How It Works
Our Mobile Solids Dewatering Unit combines proven engineering and advanced materials to quickly separate solids from liquids in industrial slurry streams. Designed for rapid deployment and consistent performance, it handles a wide range of sludges and abrasive materials.
Key Features
• High-capacity belt filter for rapid dewatering
• Mobile design for easy relocation on-site
• Robust construction to handle abrasive and corrosive slurries
• Adjustable belt speed and vacuum pressure for optimized solids removal
• Pilot-Friendly: Test on-site before full-scale deployment to validate performance and optimize configuration
Technical Highlights
• Typical throughput: 5–20 tons/hour (application dependent)
• Moisture reduction: 30–60% depending on material
• Belt widths: configurable for application needs
• Fully mobile: can be deployed in hours without permanent installation
